Eltherm Heat Tracing Systems

Bellis and Eltherm Heat Tracing Systems: Bellis Australia is pleased to announce our partnership with Eltherm Heat Tracing Systems to bring their unique Turnkey Electrical Heat Tracing System Solutions to Australian Market. Eltherm was founded in 1991 in Burbach, Germany, and has developed into a global engineering solution provider with own production facilities and a one-stop-shop for electrical heat tracing products and systems. The company has attained worldwide recognition as a turn-key partner for engineering, design, installation, and commissioning of electrical heat tracing for complex industrial plants and facilities. With its own comprehensive production facilities for all types of heating cables and accessories, Eltherm has built up the engineering expertise to become one of the leading manufacturers of electrical heat tracing systems in the world. Besides frost protection and temperature maintenance applications up to 900 °C, Eltherm is the competent partner for complete system solutions like heating whole chemical or other industrial plants. Eltherm proved its potential and expertise in different industries such as oil and gas, power plant, construction, automotive and food.

1. Series Resistance Trace Heaters: A wide range of fluoropolymer insulated resistance trace heaters is dedicated to answering to the technical requirements of multifaceted industrial applications. All Eltherm trace heaters are insulated and available with or without protective braid. Another speciality is the range of high temperature resistance trace heaters and heating tapes with glass or quartz fibre insulation for temperatures up to 900 °C.

Applications

• Filter and hopper heating
• Automotive
• Coating facilities
• IBC‘s
• Heating mantles
• Laboratory and research

2. Parallel Resistance Trace Heaters: Parallel trace heaters with resistance wire offer enormous flexibility, because they can be cut to length and provide constant wattage power output. They are approved for use in hazardous areas.

Applications

• Food Processing Industry
• Paper
• Filter heating
• Buildings and construction
• Railways

3. Self-Regulating Trace Heaters: ELSR (Eltherm self-regulating) trace heaters consist of two parallel bus wires embedded in a heating matrix doped with carbon particles. When temperatures rise in operation, molecular expansion increases the distance between the carbon particles. The resistance increases and output drops. When temperatures fall, this process is reversed and output increases. This physical property means that the heater will never overheat, can be assembled crosswise and can be operated without a temperature limiter. Moreover, selected ELSR heating cables are approved for use in hazardous areas.

Applications

• Chemistry and Petrochemistry
• Maritime
• Food Processing Industry
• Water and sanitation utilities
• Doors and seals of refrigerating chambers
• Profile heating
• Boarding Bridges
• Fat-containing wastewater pipes in canteens and large-scale kitchens
• Legionella prevention on hot water pipes
• Parking garages entrances, exits
• Helicopter landing sites
• Concrete ramps
• Stairs and footpaths
• Cryogenic Storage Tanks

4. Mineral-Insulated Trace Heaters: Manufactured and assembled entirely from high quality Alloy 825 or stainless steel, Eltherm‘s revolutionary Clean Laser Seal Technology (CLS) guarantees performance and reliability in all industrial operations. It ensures a homogeneous, 100% stable system, ensuring reliable function and maintenance-free assembly. CLS offers the best possible protection from stress corrosion cracking in applications in which aggressive chemicals may be present.

Applications

• Chemistry and Petrochemistry
• Oil and Gas Industry
• Pharmaceutical
• Concentrated Solar Power
• LNG and cryogenic tanks
• Power plants
• Machinery and plants

5. Heated Analytic, Pressure and Loading Systems: Eltherm is a world leader for flexible, heated pipes, heated tubular bundles and flexible transport systems. Electrical heated hoses (heated sample lines) are the ideal solution for flexible transportation of water, other liquids, or gases without heat loss. They are customised to reach the required temperature and match specifications. This applies to a wide range of substances, such as grease, oils, wax, resins, bitumen, varnish, water, carbon dioxide, foam plastics, casting compounds, glue and foods to keep them flowable, e.g., in robots and moving equipment.

Applications

• Automotive
• Chemical/petrochemical
• Power generation
• Waste treatment
• Food and beverages
• Production machines
• Pharmaceutical plants

6. Heating Mats and Jackets: Another field where Eltherm is setting the pace, is with flexible heating mats and jackets for industrial processes. They provide optimum heat transfer. Heating mats are the ideal solution for simple level surfaces. They can also be manufactured separately from the insulation. Heating jackets are used where uniform heating of surfaces with more than two levels is required. They are custom-built to match almost any shape and remain easy to handle thanks to special heating elements. Heating jackets with integrated heat insulation are easy to apply and remove, which considerably reduces installation and maintenance effort.

Applications

• Chemistry and Petrochemistry
• Maritime
• Food Processing Industry
• Experimental facilities
• Extrusion
• Connections
• Flanges
• Ventilators
• Vacuum chambers

7. Power and Control Panels: Standard Eltherm power and control panels provide cost-effective power distribution, monitoring and control for heat tracing circuits. They cover the majority of applications in industrial facilities, oil and gas, power, petrochemical and chemical plants. They can also be adapted, designed, planned and custom-engineered to meet specific requirements.

Applications

• Chemistry and Petrochemistry
• Oil and Gas Industry
• Pharmaceutical industry
• Concentrated Solar Power
• LNG, Cryogenic Storage Tanks
• Power plants
• Machinery and plants
