Applied Thermal Systems / Kanthal Globar

The most efficient, cost-effective and versatile heating element on the market
Globar® ceramic silicon carbide (SiC) electric heating elements are designed for high temperature (1800°F to 3000°F) thermal processing applications - for use in furnaces or kilns, as a radiant heat source.

As the most efficient, cost-effective and versatile heating element on the market, Globar elements are used in many types of industrial furnaces.

Since there are no standard sizes and shapes of the products being heated, and no standard dimensions or wattages in furnace designs, Globar elements are available in a wide variety of sizes and geometries - customized to meet your specific product, process and furnace criteria.

Advantages of Globar SiC Electric Heating Elements

Economical, dependable, clean, quiet and safe
No fuel availability or storage problems
No noxious fuel exhaust to be ducted away
Efficiently handle a wide range of products and atmospheres
Elements that operate at 600°F up to 3000°F
One of the highest hot : cold ratios in the industry

Standard Elements

Type	Range	Features/Benefits
LL	To 2800°F	3-piece construction for improved hot : cold ratio
SG	To 3000°F	1-piece construction for higher temperatures
SGR	To 3000°F	Single end termination for limited space environments
CRL	To 2800°F	3-piece construction for corrosive environments
UX		Single end termination for lower voltage than SGR type
3-Phase		Single end termination for balanced 3-phase element load

Mounting Versatility
Globar elements may be mounted horizontally or vertically inside the furnace chamber to surround the product being heated. They are terminated by replaceable straps and clamps available from Kanthal Globar which connect the element (outside the furnace wall) to the variable voltage power supply.
