Top, grill, bottom and fan-ring elements, built for red heat, pyrolysis and thousands of thermal cycles.
Cooking · Oven heating elements
Top/grill, bottom and fan-ring elements for built-in, free-standing and mini/midi ovens. The grill runs bare at red heat, 650–800 °C on the sheath; the bottom element under the cavity floor and the fan-cooled ring run cooler, so sheath alloy, coil alloy and MgO grade are chosen per position.
The design starts with the cavity: its volume, insulation and pre-heat target set the power, the tray sets the loop layout, and the cooking modes – bake, grill, fan, pyrolysis – set the alloy.

Applications · where they work
Grill, bottom and fan-ring elements heat the cavities of built-in ovens, cookers, mini ovens and range cookers – each position with its own duty.
Key specifications
Typical values from series production and European OEM practice. Ranges apply per element, not per oven – a grill often carries two circuits in one formed part.
| Parameter | Typical values |
|---|---|
| Sheath diameter | 6.5 – 8.5 mm (6.5 mm and 8.5 mm most common); 10 mm for heavy-duty bottom elements |
| Sheath materials | AISI 321, Incoloy 800; AISI 304 for lower-temperature bottom elements under a cavity floor |
| Power range | 600 – 3500 W per element; grill double circuits typically 1000 + 1500 W or 1200 + 1300 W |
| Voltage | 230 V single phase; 120 / 208 / 240 V for North American variants; 400 V between phases on some professional models |
| Watt density on the heated sheath | 5 – 8 W/cm² (radiant duty); up to ≈ 10 W/cm² on fan-oven rings behind a cover |
| Terminal types | 6.3 mm flat tabs (nickel-plated), M4 studs, screw-on ceramic terminal sockets |
| Sealing options | PTFE bead, ceramic bead with high-temperature cement, STF seal for humid-cavity (steam) ovens |
| Typical appliance standards & marks | VDE component approval to EN 60335-1 for approved element families; appliance to EN 60335-2-6; RoHS, REACH; CE marking of the finished appliance |
| Typical forms | Grill double-loop with centre web, bottom "U" or "M" serpentine, fan-oven circular ring (single or double), tangential and steam-generator elements |
Standards and marks are those the finished appliance typically has to meet. BALÇIK TORMEC’s own approvals are listed on the Certificates page; further marks are obtained per project. All values typical – final values confirmed by our engineers.
Technical drawing · three positions
Most ovens combine a top/grill element under the ceiling, a bottom element under the cavity floor and, in fan ovens, a ring around the fan. Each sees its own temperature, air flow and cleaning regime – and is designed for it.
01 · Top and grill
Radiant elements under the ceiling, typically a double loop with centre web and two circuits, so the control can switch top heat, grill or both. Detachable versions free the ceiling for cleaning.
02 · Bottom
A U or M serpentine under the cavity floor, outside the cooking space. Its shape follows the cavity outline for even heat across the floor.
03 · Fan ring
A circular ring, single or double, around the convection fan. The air flow cools the sheath, which allows a higher load in a compact ring behind the fan cover.
Design considerations
They are fixed on the drawing, long before the first sample – and they decide whether the element still heats evenly after thousands of thermal cycles.
At 650–800 °C sheath temperature, AISI 321 (up to ≈ 750 °C) or Incoloy® 800 (above) with a NiCr or FeCrAl coil keeps the oxide layer and the insulation stable. Pyrolytic ovens add cleaning cycles at around 450–500 °C – and the terminal end outside the cavity must stay cool enough for its bead and connector.
5 – 8 W/cm² for radiant duty; up to ≈ 10 W/cm² on fan-oven rings, where the air flow cools the sheath behind a cover. Coil pitch sets the watt distribution along the element – and with it the temperature map on the tray.
Every heat-up expands a long bent tube that is held at a few points. Bend radii, bracket positions and the distance to the cavity wall decide whether it bows, rattles or stays in place for the life of the oven.
PTFE or ceramic beads close the terminal end; STF sealing keeps moisture out in humid steam cavities. The finished oven is typically approved to EN 60335-2-6 with EN 60335-1.
Validation
Samples are tested at element and appliance level in our validation laboratory. In series, every element passes a 100 % electrical test, traceable back to the raw-material lot.
Quality and validation laboratory – the complete test programme.

A short film from our YouTube channel: the oven element as the appliance user sees it – even browning comes from the watt distribution along the element.
