ULTRAMAX – Cartridge heaters
ULTRAMAX heaters are next-generation heating elements designed to deliver high power density in compact dimensions, exceptional durability under severe operating conditions, and a robust construction featuring a nickel-chromium resistance wire wound around a high-purity MgO core. This design ensures improved heat transfer efficiency and lower operating temperature of the resistance wire.
Cartridge heaters are available in both metric and imperial dimensions, with custom manufacturing options to meet specific customer requirements. Each heater type can be supplied with an integrated thermocouple. The ULTRAMAX cartridge heater is suitable for use across all industries where reliable and efficient heating is required — from heavy industry to commercial and specialized applications.

IPERMAX Extra-High DensityCartridge Heaters
IPERMAX cartridge heaters are ultra high-power heating elements developed using specialized aerospace technology. They deliver exceptionally high watt density, superior insulation performance, and extended service life — even under extreme operating conditions.
They operate at temperatures up to 1000 °C and are suitable for contaminated environments, outdoor installations, and automated systems. Standard diameters are 12.5 / 14 / 16 mm, with other dimensions available upon request.

SUPERMAX Middle Density Cartridge Heaters
Supermax heaters utilize one or more U-shaped resistance coils embedded in compacted magnesium oxide, ensuring reliable heat transfer and safe operation even under extreme conditions. Their simplified construction allows for cold zones, variable watt density along different zones, and independent power supply.
They are primarily used in heating elements longer than 500 mm, with watt densities up to 15 W/cm². Typical applications include thermoplastic welding bars, platen heaters, dryers, as well as heating of gases, liquids, and small metal components.

NORMAX Low Density Cartridge Heaters
Normax cartridge heaters are constructed with a nickel-chromium 80/20 resistance wire, a ceramic insulator, and a stainless steel sheath, ensuring reliable performance under temperature fluctuations.
They are suitable for nearly all heating processes and are widely used in heat-sealing presses, packaging and food-processing machinery, HVAC equipment, as well as for heating gases, liquids, and small metal components. In watertight versions, they are also used in electric water radiators.

MICROMAX Low Voltage Cartridge Heaters
MICROMAX cartridge heaters are designed for low-voltage operation up to 48 V, providing enhanced electrical safety by welding one pole directly to the metal sheath. They feature easy installation, compact dimensions, and high durability.
They are used in vehicles, boats, and caravans, as well as for heating injection molding nozzles. A distinctive feature is the increased watt density at the bottom end, with gradually decreasing power toward the lead end, without a cold zone.

AUTOMAX Self-Limiting PTC Cartridge Heaters
PTC elements are ceramic electronic components based on barium titanate that automatically regulate their temperature. As the temperature increases, their electrical resistance rises sharply, enabling rapid attainment and maintenance of a stable operating temperature (Curie point).
Initially, higher power consumption is observed, which subsequently decreases; therefore, Automax PTC heaters do not operate at a fixed wattage. They maintain efficiency across a wide supply voltage range — 12–36 V and 110–240 V.
Automax heaters are typically used where stable, uniform, and self-regulating heating is required without the need for external control — for example, in industrial or specialized applications where conventional heaters may have limitations in efficiency or safety.
