For bonding and coating metals or plastics, the plating process occurs in tanks. The two types of heaters for plating tanks are electric element heaters and heat exchangers. Electric is the more reliable, efficient, and precise option. In particular, over-the-side heaters are the ideal solution for controlling the temperature in plating tanks. Over-the-side (OTS) heaters […]

Many industrial heating processes involve maintaining a consistent temperature in a vessel to protect the integrity of the product. If temperatures drop too low they can crystallize, separate, or even freeze. In larger tanks and vessels, a local heater cannot offer cannot provide adequate heat density and even temperature spread. Skid systems are an effective […]

Despite all the safety precautions and guidelines, fires still happen in thermal fluid heating processes. Any process where fuel, air, and an ignition source meet, has a potential fire risk. Yet, safe thermal fluid heating is possible in any industry. Choosing the right equipment, installation, and maintenance can significantly reduce the risks of fires. Forward-thinking […]

Steam is one of the best heat carriers in process industries. It’s used for everything from space heating, to sterilization, to medicine. However, not all steam is created equal. Low-grade steam carries more contaminants, meaning this heating process is a poor choice for processes in the food and beverage or pharmaceutical industries. Purer steam presents […]

Less waste = more revenue. Waste is a major industrial expense, it results in getting less use out of high-cost products as well as increasing disposal costs. Wasteful processes drive up the costs of operation, reducing your bottom line. Oil, for instance, affects most major industries. From automobile engines to industrial lubricating oils, there is […]
