Moduthal® heating modules

Moduthal® is a versatile heating module that is designed to be suitable for a wide range of thermal processing applications, with element temperatures reaching up to 1,350°C (2,460°F). The Moduthal® heating modules are constructed by encasing element coils in a high-quality non-electrically conductive ceramic material. To accommodate various applications, the resistance material is primarily made from Kanthal® A-1 and Kanthal® AF resistance alloys. A fiber-free version of Moduthal® is also available for temperatures up to 1,250°C (2,280°F).

Characteristics

Types of Moduthal® heating modules

Type of module Description

Fully embedded

Although being a fully embedded panel, most of the heating element is covered with a thin layer of refractory material allowing the element to radiate more efficiently.

  • Maximum element temperature up to 1,100°C (2,010°F).
  • Available in a fiber-free version also.

Semi-embedded

A conventionally designed panel that offers a cost-effective solution to applications that do not require higher temperatures.

  • Maximum element temperature up to 1,150°C (2,100°F).
  • Available in a fiber-free version also.

Free radiating

Unique design that allows 75 % of the heating element to freely radiate.

  • Maximum element temperature up to 1,200°C (2,190°F).
  • 1,150°C (2,100°F) when using a fiber-free module.

Free-radiating high temperature

A combination of ceramic casting with freely radiating Kanthal® APM material elements.

  • Maximum element temperature 1,350°C (2,460°F).
  • 1,250°C (2,280°F) when using the fiber-free modules.
