Immersion Heaters, Threaded Or Screw Plug

Magma Technologies offers threaded or screw plug Immersion Heaters that are used for heating gases and liquids in tanks or vessels. These elements are designed for immersion in liquid so that heat transfer occurs at a rapid rate, enabling quick heat up times. Typical uses include the food and beverage industry, laboratory clinics, applications involving hydraulic oils and lubricants as well as more sophisticated uses such as heating up flammable liquids or gases which require explosion proof housing. All types of oils and heat transfer solutions can also be heated using these compact easily controlled units. The direct immersion method is energy efficient and well suited for many applications. Screw plug heaters consist of bent tubular elements that are brazed or welded into a machined pipe thread fitting (normally an NPT fitting for North American standards and BSPT for British standard pipe thread) through matching pipe coupling, half coupling or welding flange. Sizes of screw plug heaters are available with ½", ¾", 1", 1¼", 2" and 2½" pipe threads. A wide selection of screw plug sizes, kW ratings, voltages, sheath materials, terminal housings, and thermostats makes these compact heaters ideal for all types of applications. Screw plug heaters are an easy way to heat up solutions in smaller containers that also require controls. Mechanical thermostats or digital controllers can be used with these immersion heaters to help reach target temperatures with great accuracy meeting your project objectives.
