The MOTS Single – Derated Heater by Process Technology, with its tailored material options and low watt density design, stands as an exemplary choice for applications requiring precise temperature control in harsh chemical environments. Here’s where it excels:
- Electroplating: This process often involves highly controlled baths of chemicals where metals like nickel, zinc, or copper are deposited onto substrates. The heater’s ability to maintain a stable temperature is essential for consistent plating thickness and quality, while its material options ensure resistance to the corrosive plating solutions.
- Anodizing: Particularly for aluminum, anodizing requires hot sulfuric acid solutions. The heater’s design, especially with titanium or stainless steel sheaths, can withstand the aggressive environment of the anodizing baths, ensuring uniform heating and thus a consistent anodic layer.
- Chemical Etching and Cleaning: Before many metal treatments, parts undergo chemical cleaning or etching, often in strong alkaline or acidic solutions. The heater’s durability and efficiency help maintain optimal solution temperatures, which are critical for effective surface preparation.
- Chemical Conversion Coating: Processes like phosphating or chromate conversion require stable chemical baths where the heater ensures the solution remains at the perfect temperature for the chemical reactions to proceed correctly, enhancing the coating’s adhesion and corrosion resistance.
- Passivation: After metal treatments, passivation might be needed to remove free iron from the surface. The MOTS heater can keep the passivation solutions at the required temperatures, ensuring the passivation process is effective without degrading the heater’s material.
- Hot-Dip Galvanizing: While primarily a dipping process, pre-treatment solutions for galvanizing can benefit from this heater type to ensure the metal surfaces are at the correct temperature before dipping, aiding in a more effective coating.
- Caustic Cleaning Solutions: In industries where heavy-duty cleaning is necessary, the MOTS heater’s ability to handle and maintain high temperatures in caustic solutions without degrading is invaluable.
