( V Series v.s. Pinned Elements )
The numerous mounting pins in conventional stamped element heaters perforate the refractory and significantly weaken it to the point that when shipped in a horizontal plane, the heater frequently breaks under its own weight. For this reason, it is common for OEMs to remove heaters from a machine to be packed and shipped separately and then to be re-installed on site. This additional handling can be costly.
The bonded V-shaped element actually increases the board strength. The cement in the mounting grooves has been found to penetrate into the board, bond with the fibers, and increase the strength. Further, the metallic element with its anchors cemented into the grooves reinforces the board further so that the finished board is stronger than it was originally.
12” x 84” V series heater board supported in the center only.
With the V-series’ robust panel heater construction, there is no need for costly special handling.
