At Thermic Edge, we have developed a comprehensive range of cost-effective sample heaters, engineered specifically for laboratory and research environments. These heaters are designed to offer flexibility and precision, and can be easily customised to meet specific process requirements. Optional extras include integrated water cooling systems, sample rotation functionality for uniform exposure, and a variety of sample mounting configurations to accommodate different setups.
Each heater delivers high power density, which enables very fast ramp-up times for thermal processing. The low-mass body design contributes to reduced cool-down durations, improving operational efficiency. The system also ensures a high level of thermal uniformity across the entire hot zone, providing consistent and reliable heating conditions during each use.
Our sample heaters are available in a selection of body and element material combinations to support a broad spectrum of temperatures and vacuum conditions. These materials are chosen to suit the specific needs of different applications. All standard models are available in hot zone sizes ranging from two-inch (2″) to six-inch (6″) diameters, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of sample types and experimental setups.
