Grill, toaster, iron and kettle elements, built for high-volume automated assembly lines.
Small home appliances
Elements for grills, contact grills, toasters, mini ovens, steam irons and kettles, and boiler elements for coffee machines. Small diameters in tight spaces, high volumes, and terminations chosen for automated assembly.
Small appliances leave no thermal margin to hide behind: wire temperature, MgO compaction and sheath alloy have to be right in every piece.

Applications · where they work
Compact elements for appliances that heat up in seconds and are built in very high volumes.
Key specifications
Typical values per element for radiant, cast-in, clamped and immersed designs. At these volumes, the tolerance band matters as much as the nominal value.
| Parameter | Typical values |
|---|---|
| Sheath diameter | 6.0 – 8.5 mm (6.5 mm most common); 10 mm for kettle and coffee-machine bases |
| Sheath materials | AISI 304, AISI 321 (radiant grills), Incoloy 800 (high-load radiant), copper (cast-in kettle bases) |
| Power range | 300 – 2600 W typical series (kettles 1800 – 2400 W, irons 1000 – 2600 W, grills 600 – 2200 W); other ratings to drawing |
| Voltage | 230 V; 120 V North America (UL recognition in progress – target end of 2027); 100 V Japan |
| Watt density on the heated sheath | 3 – 9 W/cm² cast-in or clamped to aluminium; 5 – 8 W/cm² radiant; 8 – 12 W/cm² immersed kettle elements |
| Terminal types | Lead wires (silicone, PTFE or fibreglass insulated) with crimped ends; 4.8 and 6.3 mm flat tabs; M4 studs |
| Sealing options | Silicone resin, PTFE bead, ceramic bead for radiant grills |
| Typical appliance standards & marks | Appliance to EN 60335-2-9 (grills, toasters), 2-3 (irons), 2-15 (kettles and liquid heaters); VDE for approved element families; RoHS, REACH; CE marking of the finished appliance; food-contact declarations where the sheath touches water or food |
| Typical forms | Straight and "U" elements for cast-in soleplates, flat spirals and loops for grills and toasters, disc-base kettle elements, boiler elements for coffee machines |
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.
Typical forms
Radiant in open air, cast into or clamped to aluminium, or in contact with water – each path sets its own watt density on the heated sheath.
01 · Radiant
Flat spirals and loops for grills and electric barbecues – radiant elements that run like oven elements at a smaller scale.
02 · Compact cavity
Slim elements for toasters, toaster ovens and mini/midi ovens, with the watt distribution set for even browning.
03 · Cast-in
Straight and U elements die-cast into aluminium soleplates, so element and ironing surface form one part.
Water in small appliances
Disc-base and immersed kettle elements, with materials declared for water contact and the dry-run behaviour designed together with the appliance cut-out.
Boiler elements with a surface load chosen for repeated descaling, and materials declared for drinking-water contact.
Technical drawing · cross-sections
The same tube carries a different watt density on the heated sheath when it is cast into aluminium, clamped to a plate or left to radiate in open air.
At 2400 W, a kettle brings a litre of cold water to the boil in about three minutes. At this load, wire temperature, MgO compaction and sheath alloy leave no room for variation from piece to piece.
Kettles are switched on empty, irons left face down. EN 60335 abnormal-operation tests simulate exactly this – element and thermal cut-out together must fail safe: no fire, no accessible live parts, no breach of insulation.
For die-cast soleplates, tube surface, geometry and thermal expansion must suit the casting process. A bright, scale-free surface aids aluminium contact, and the joint has to survive thousands of heating cycles.
Terminals aligned for automated welding and push-on assembly. Appliances are typically approved to EN 60335-2-9 (grills, toasters), 2-3 (irons) or 2-15 (kettles), with food-contact declarations where the sheath touches water or food.
Validation
An automated line stops for variation in cold resistance, bend position or terminal alignment. We report capability over a trial lot with the initial samples – then test every series element 100 %.
The complete test programme: quality and validation laboratory.
