The diverse RAYMAX® radiant panel heater product line from Watlow® allows for customers to solve virtually any application requiring radiant heat.
Watlow’s capabilities cover a wide range of needs, from contamination-resistant surfaces to fast responding high-temperature panels.
Applying radiant heaters can be complicated. However, Watlow’s engineering staff has the level of training and expertise required to meet most application requirements. Providing a high degree of technical support such as conducting application testing at Watlow’s facility, calculating the watt density and temperature requirements and recommending system components such as sensors and controllers.
Designed to resist contamination, the RAYMAX 1010 is ideal for use in screen printing, food warming and other low-heat applications. The heater’s "sealed face" keeps contaminants away from the heating element, and the metal surface can be easily wiped or brushed clean whenever needed.
The rugged all-metal construction results in a shock-proof, shatter-proof heater, which is durable and long lasting. No fragile glass, ceramic or fiber is used.
(4) The RAYMAX 1120 is a lightweight, yet sturdy and durable radiant heater panel. The emitter sheath is stainless steel with a black coating, which makes it a highly efficient radiating surface. In addition, the heater’s low mass allows rapid start-up and fast response to controllers.
The patented RAYMAX heater features 1 in. (25 mm) wide emitter strips, which are individually replaceable for lower maintenance costs. Weighing only 5.5 lbs/ft2 (26.8 kg/m2), the heater is easy to mount.
(43) Easy to install and capable of high surface temperatures, the RAYMAX 1220 and 2030 are ideal for many process heating applications requiring "hot-face" temperatures above 1000ºF (540ºC).
Each unit consists of a ceramic fiber heater mounted in a 21/2 in. (64 mm) deep sheet metal case providing thermal insulation. The case includes post terminals for electrical connections and provides a mounting system that can be used with virtually any flat ceramic fiber unit. Since any of the flat unit heating element configurations can be used - exposed sinuated, embedded coil or foil elements - watt density and temperature capabilities can be tailored to meet a specific radiant application.
The RAYMAX 1330 is the only radiant heater featuring specially insulated heater emitter strips for higher performance. Watlow developed a unique compacted mineral insulation to electrically insulate the element wire, with a result of superior heat transfer and higher operating capabilities.
Because of its rugged stainless steel construction, the RAYMAX 1330 will last longer. Plus, this heater features a high emissivity black coating and a uniform, full surface heat source for better efficiency.
