Performs Unmatched Semiconductor Process Fluid Heating Inline Chemical Heater

Overview

PFA in-line heater are desinged for hydrofluoric acid (HF), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and other chemistry compatible with PFA.

These PFA heaters push widely accepted high-purity materials to operating extremes while maximizing performance and reliability.

We has once again taken heating of high-purity liquids to a new level of performance and reliability.

We has once again taken heating of high purity liquids to a new level of performance and reliability. Heating liquids using high purity materials in a harsh environment requires special skills and knowledge that can only be gained from experience. For over 40 years, Our Engineers have been refining and improving the heated quartz bath and understand the critical needs of the Semiconductor and related industries. The sum of that knowledge has been incorporated into the PFA in-line heater to create products that not only perform, but simplify installation and maintenance as well. Exemplified by our long-standing ISO 9001 registration, our dedication to manufacturing process control assures that our customers receive uniformly high-quality products in a timely manner. We offers a wide range of standard and custom models to allow for easy integration into almost any application.

• Heavy gauge pre-formed Inconel element can stand up to high stress conditions without breaking down
• Power modulator monitors heater element temp and prevents heat buildup inside the housing
• Sealed housing prevents chemistry from attacking internal components & provides secondary containment
• Internal leak detect strip (requires external monitor) gives early detection of chemical leaks
• All wiring shielded with teflon conduit to prevent chemical attack
• Indirect heating design, no submerged heater elements
• No N2 or gas purge required

Applications

Anodizing
Anodizing is an electrochemical process of converting a metal surface into an oxide layer. Mainly aluminum is used for anodizing, although other nonferrous metals, such as titanium and magnesium, can also be anodized. The metal part is connected as the anode and immersed into an acid electrolyte bath, where an electric current is applied to grow the oxide layer from the piece. The resulting surface finish will provide functional properties as corrosion-resistance and durability, as well as decorative properties. Surplus heaters provide beautiful, precise finishes. Surplus power supplies deliver high current, high accuracy, and high energy efficiency to meet a modern anodizing process's requirements.
