Sauna rods, duct heaters, process-tank heaters and machine elements – designed around the medium, frame and duty.
Industrial Equipment
Sauna heaters, HVAC and ventilation duct heaters, air curtains, drying cabinets, industrial washers and process tanks. Here the fitting and frame design is often as important as the element itself.
Every inquiry starts with the medium, temperature, power and installation space. Our proposal states the watt density and sheath material explicitly, so you can check it against your own process knowledge.

Applications · where they work
Immersion heaters for process liquids, duct and air heaters, saunas and drying lines.
Key specifications
Typical series values from our specifications master. Individual designs can sit outside them when the application justifies it.
| Parameter | Typical series value |
|---|---|
| Sheath diameter | 8.0 – 16 mm; 8.5 – 10 mm sauna and duct heaters, 12 – 16 mm process tanks |
| Sheath materials | AISI 304, AISI 321, Incoloy 800 (sauna, high-temperature air), AISI 316L (process liquids) |
| Power range | 500 – 3000 W per element (sauna typically 1500 – 3000 W); duct and process assemblies 3 – 60 kW |
| Voltage | 230 V; 400 V three-phase; 120 / 208 / 480 V North America |
| Watt density | 2 – 4 W/cm² still air (sauna at the upper end); 3 – 6 W/cm² forced air; 8 – 15 W/cm² process water |
| Terminal types | M4 – M6 studs; ceramic terminal blocks; lead wires with fibreglass or silicone insulation; terminal boxes IP54 / IP65 |
| Sealing options | Ceramic bead and cement (sauna), epoxy or silicone resin, PTFE bead, STF seal |
| Mounting | Welded brackets and frames, threaded nipples, round flanges, flange plates for duct heaters |
Watt density is on the heated sheath. Values are typical; the final design is confirmed by BALÇIK TORMEC engineering. All product groups: Specifications by product group.
Typical forms
The medium and the duty cycle decide the design – from small-series specials to recurring series.
Still air
Straight and hairpin rods at visible red heat behind stones – the extreme of still-air duty, with Incoloy 800 sheath and long cold zones through the heater floor.
Forced air
Plain or finned elements in frames with flange plates and airflow interlocks – for HVAC and ventilation, air curtains and drying cabinets.
Process liquids
"U" and "W" immersion heaters for industrial washers and process tanks, on round flanges or threaded nipples.
Technical drawing · three constructions
Rods heat the air of saunas, dryers and ovens, flat spirals sit in ducts and ventilation units, and screw-plug or flanged heaters work in process tanks – each drawn for its medium and surface load.
Design considerations
Industrial elements run for thousands of hours a year, often at full load – material, surface load and terminal protection decide whether the installation is maintenance-free.
AISI 304 and 321 for air, Incoloy 800 for saunas and high-temperature air, AISI 316L for process liquids. Chemically loaded baths need the sheath stated on the drawing, never assumed.
Water, oil, glycol, alkaline baths, still or moving air and metal contact each set their own ceiling. An element that is right for one medium can be wrong – sometimes dangerously – for the next.
Terminal boxes face washdown, condensation, dust, vibration and ambient temperatures from freezer rooms to foundries. Ingress protection, terminal insulation and cable entry are specified, not assumed.
Typical for the finished equipment: EN 60335-2-53 (sauna heaters), 2-30 (room heaters), 2-40 (heat pumps and air conditioners); EN 60519 / IEC 60519 for industrial electroheating; VDE for approved element families; RoHS, REACH; CE marking of the finished appliance.
Validation
Samples are validated in our laboratory for your medium and duty; in series, every element passes a 100 % electrical test – traceable back to the raw-material lot.
The complete test programme: Quality and validation laboratory.
