Silicone heaters are a popular choice in industrial applications thanks to their durability, versatility, and other factors. When you get a custom silicone heater, you get even more benefits because you can adjust the heater precisely to your specifications. Here are some of the adjustments you can make to customize a silicone heater.
Shape
Most silicone heaters come in a flat shape. This is the most versatile shape that a heater can take, since it is easily applicable to heat many different kinds of materials. However, if you need a heater that is made in a different shape, to heat a specific type of material that you have on hand, manufacturers can accommodate that. It is easy enough to shape silicone, yielding more flexible heaters that can be curved or shaped the way that a customer needs it to be.
Size
Another important thing that you can adjust when ordering a custom silicone heater is the size of the object. Depending on the application, you will need a different sized heater. They are made very small, the size of a postage stamp, or can be made large with the assistance of wire frames. Make sure that you research which size you need before ordering a custom product.
Power
Finally, you can also adjust the voltage that runs through your silicone heater. The higher the voltage, the stronger the heating capabilities. The power will also depend on the materials that you work with and what you plan to do.
