Blowers
For the highest level of efficient air movement, Pelonis blowers are known throughout the industry for their durability and exceptional performance. Blowers are the solution for drying, heat exchanger, ducting or filtered applications where more pressure is needed.
Available in standard or high-efficiency models, Pelonis blowers are suitable for a variety of applications. Numerous configurations and options such as tachometer, rotation detection, OV protection, alarm output, and thermal speed control are available.
PTI also offers the TITAN series for high-end equipment designs that can be customized for specific applications. Because they incorporate "Intelligent Motion Controls", these blowers boost end-system performance and safeguard long-term reliability.
Heating
PTC Air Heaters
Extremely versatile, our PTC heaters can be used in various applications across multiple industries; to meet these diverse needs, we offer two types of designs: honeycomb and fin. Our fin PTC air heaters have several advantages. They’re designed for optimal safety, and, because they self-regulate, there’s no risk of overheating — which means they also offer superior conductivity, efficiency, and longevity. Our fin PTC air heaters are offered in various designs; low air resistance and high-heating efficiency models are available, and single or double insulation can be used. Pelonis honeycomb PTC heating discs, meanwhile, are made from an advanced ceramic material with over 1,200 holes to enable safe, energy-efficient heat transfer in small spaces. Honeycomb holder assemblies are available in three-, four-, or five-disc configurations, and custom orders are also available.
Ultra-Thin Flexible Heaters
Thanks to their unique physical and electrical properties, our ultra-thin flexible heaters offer superior performance and more effective heat transfer than other options on the market. With thin construction and a low-mass design, these ultra-thin heaters are well-suited for applications with limited space. Featuring built-in nanotechnology that provides greater flexibility, these heaters also transfer heat more efficiently and evenly than foil-imprinted heaters — resulting in faster heat-up and warm-up times.
Immersion Heaters
Offering high thermal conductivity, our ultra-high-temperature ceramic immersion heaters allow for better efficiency than other metallic and nonmetallic heating elements. Self-regulating and eco-friendly, Pelonis immersion heaters are built for optimal user safety. They also have excellent insulation properties, and can be used in both water and air. In fact, they can heat up to 1200 °C in a dry environment (or up to 25-watt density) and can achieve up to 98% heating efficiency under water. Our immersion heaters have high withstanding voltage; they will not break even when applying 2500 V for a full minute.
Thermal Transfer Materials – gap fillers and silicone pads efficiently transfer heat from the source to the heat sink. These are cut to shape with waterjets, lasers and die cutting. Pressure sensitive adhesives can be applied, and packaging is flexible to match your manufacturing processes.
Thermal Insulation – Fiberglass, foams and fiber insulations for a wide variety of applications.
InsulFab knows the benefits of fiberglass, foams, synthetic non-woven fibers, and specialty products and where they should be used. Materials can be laminated, sewn, cut and formed to meet your requirements. Insulfab has 30+ years of experience and a large assortment of automated processes to provide cost effective solutions that meet your quality requirements.
Radiant Heat Shields and Reflectors – Some applications require a more aggressive approach and InsulFab is up to the task with a variety of materials that can be used
In combination to match your space, weight, strength, shape and Environmental needs. Let their experts weigh in on your project.
