Frequently Asked Questions

What types of electric heaters does Watlow supply?
Watlow supplies an extensive range of electric heaters, including immersion heaters (for direct immersion in liquids), band heaters (for heating cylinders and tanks), cartridge heaters (for insertion in metal blocks or molds), over-the-side heaters, cable heaters and flexible heating mats. Each type is available in numerous power classes and configurations.
What temperature range do Watlow heating elements support?
Watlow heating elements are available for applications up to more than 1000°C, depending on the type and version. Standard band heaters and cartridge heaters are available for maximum surface temperatures of 300-750°C. Special high-temperature versions are available for processes requiring extreme heat in industrial ovens and thermal treatment installations.
Are Watlow EZ-ZONE temperature controllers compatible with industrial communication protocols?
Yes, the Watlow EZ-ZONE series controllers support various communication protocols, including Modbus RTU/TCP, DeviceNet, Profibus and EtherNet/IP. This enables seamless integration with PLC systems, SCADA and industrial automation platforms. The controllers also offer multi-zone control for simultaneous temperature management of multiple zones.
How do I select the right Watlow heating element for my application?
The correct choice depends on the medium to be heated (liquid, gas, solid material), the desired temperature range, the available power, spatial limitations and process requirements. Verkopershulp.nl offers technical advice based on your specifications and can supply standard or custom-made solutions.
Does Verkopershulp.nl also supply Watlow spare parts for older installations?
