Heat and measurement technology in mechanical and apparatus engineering

In mechanical and apparatus engineering, the targeted use of industrial heat plays a key role in making thermal processes stable, efficient and reproducible. Whether for heating mechanical components, controlling the temperature of technical media or providing thermal support for processing steps – precise temperature control makes a significant contribution to high product quality, low wear and optimized process times.

Nozzle heating elements and tubular cartridges are important heating elements in machine and apparatus construction. They enable precise heating of tools, heating plates, holders and machine-related components. Typical applications include preheating metal parts, heating press or mold areas and thermally assisted processing steps. Thanks to their compact design, they ensure fast heat-up times, stable heat transfer and reliable continuous operation in industrial applications.

Cartridge heaters are used in particular where a flexible, compact heat source is required. They are suitable for heating small to medium-sized components, temperature zones in machines or for spot heating tasks. Thanks to their robust design and fast response time, cartridge heaters can efficiently support processes and ensure uniform temperature control.

For thermal tasks where heating elements have to adapt flexibly to complex geometries, flexible tubular heating elements are used. flexible tubular heating elements are used. They can be individually shaped to heat areas that are difficult to access or irregular components. This makes them ideal for customer-specific applications or machine areas in which standard heaters cannot be optimally integrated.

Precise temperature monitoring is ensured by Temperature probes is ensured. Thermocouples, Pt100 sensors or other sensor types continuously record the temperature and enable precise control. This ensures consistent process conditions, efficient energy use and safe operating procedures.

Through the targeted use of nozzle heating elements, tubular cartridges, heating cartridges, flexible tubular heating elements and precise temperature measurement technology, machine and apparatus manufacturers can optimize thermal processes, increase energy efficiency and create durable, high-performance systems.

Selection of suitable products

Cartridge heaters

Metal-sheathed high-performance cartridge heater (HLP) with ground outer jacket made of stainless steel. Special construction and high compression allow an extremely high surface load, i.e. the accommodation of high power in a very small space. UL approved available.

Bayonet sensor

Thanks to the special measuring tip, the bayonet probes are particularly suitable for flat and pointed bores. The Form-stable compression spring can be used for a variety of applications and serves as cable kink protection. Built-in length can be varied as required thanks to the adjustable bayonet lock.

Nozzle heating elements & tubular cartridges

Low-mass, high-density heating elements with which a very high output can be accommodated in a small space. They are available with or without built-in Thermocouples.

Pressure transmitter

Our melt pressure sensors are characterized in particular by increased service life, high material quality, precise measuring behavior and a food-safe transmission medium. The melt pressure sensors are made entirely of stainless steel, and the use of a special and innovative diaphragm means that the known errors of diaphragm rupture during fusion shrinkage are a thing of the past. A special coating protects the diaphragm against sticky and abrasive substances. The result of selected materials, a special manufacturing process and the high-precision electronic unit ensures a stable measuring process without the known interference of temperature drift, such as with the NaK filling medium. By dispensing with environmentally harmful materials, our Sensors can also be used for food and pharmaceutical applications (FDA-compliant).

Flexible tubular heating elements

Flexible tubular heating elements are robust tubular heating elements with very good thermal properties, which can be bent freely by hand. Handling is simple. Depending on the application, the Flexible tubular heating elements can be bent in all three dimensions – without special tools.

Cable sensor

The cable sensors are used for temperature measurement in liquid and gaseous media. Cable transition is strain-relieved. Humidity-protected versions are available.

Ground sensor

Thanks to the special measuring tip, the bayonet probes are particularly suitable for flat and pointed bores. The Form-stable compression spring can be used for a variety of applications and serves as cable kink protection. Built-in length can be varied as required thanks to the adjustable bayonet lock.

Mass pressure sensors

Mineral insulated thermocouples

Food safe materials and Water vapor-tight and Shock-resistant Construction make it ideal for use in cooking, cooking and baking processes, for various applications in the Food industry as well as in Laboratory technology and research facilities.

Pressure gauge

A pressure gauge is a measuring device for recording and displaying the physical pressure of a medium (e.g. liquid, gas, etc.). The relative pressure – i.e. in relation to atmospheric air pressure – is often measured. Pressure gauges filled with a liquid (e.g. glycerine, silicone) are particularly suitable for Universal probes for the measurement of vibrations and high dynamic pressure loads. The damping liquid prevents the formation of condensation and the penetration of corrosive gases into the housing. Typical areas of application are in the packaging machine industry, petrochemical and plant construction and, for example, in power plant construction.
