Cartridge Heaters

Birk Manufacturing’s cartridge heaters are cylindrical heating elements designed to be inserted into drilled holes, providing localized and precise heating. They are renowned for their extremely high watt density, enabling substantial heat delivery in small spaces. These heaters are constructed to efficiently raise the temperature of a surrounding metal component. When using these heaters, it’s crucial to consider factors such as watt density, the fit of the cartridge within the hole, and the thermal conductivity of the material being heated.

To handle the most challenging needs, Birk Manufacturing offers custom cartridge heaters with a variety of length, diameter, wire gauge, voltage, wattage, watt density, and resistance options.

Birk offers direct access to design engineers – experts who can advise you on the best options for your setting and situation.
