Due to their construction, Teflon immersion mats are ideally suited for direct heating (i.e. to be placed directly in the liquid!) of chemical and/or aggressive liquids up to approximately 120°C. The elements are available both cylindrical and flat, depending on the application.
Teflon immersion mats from Heating Group International are available in capacities from 0.5 to 15 kW, 230V and 3x400V and in various designs.
Technical advice
Most heating elements on the market are made with an outer shell of a stainless steel or incoloy. For many media these materials are fine, but when the product to be heated becomes too corrosive or aggressive the application of these elements is no longer possible. Elements that can solve this problem are Teflon heating elements.
By making a layer of PTFE over the heating element, they are very suitable for heating almost all acids and alkalis.
Teflon immersion elements are applied for heating aggressive liquids. Because of the Teflon coating, these elements are extremely suitable for such environments. Even the most acidic baths can be heated with the Heating Group teflon immersion elements.
Heating Group usually supplies Teflon elements in a flat version. These are used to be placed on the bottom of a tank. Because of this shape, we also often call these elements Teflon immersion mats.
Of course, Teflon immersion elements are also available in other shapes, including a cylindrical version.
Further applications for Teflon immersion elements are as follows:
The heating elements have a Teflon outer jacket. The same applies to the connecting cable. It consists of a cold part that may be immersed in the liquid and a part that must remain outside the liquid.
The construction of these elements makes assembly simple. Moreover, the elements can be easily removed from the liquid for cleaning. This certainly merits recommendation. In an application in a paint or stain bath, for example, some deposits often form on the element. This reduces the heat output.
Based on your specification of the medium, our engineers calculate the composition of the Teflon coating on the Teflon immersion mat. This coating ensures resistance to aggressive liquids.
Of course Heating Group also builds the control panels for these heating elements in-house.
