Elstein SHTS super high temperature heaters were developed to increase the previous maximum possible surface rating of ceramic panel heaters from 64 kW/ m² to 77 kW/ m².
The SHTS heaters, produced using the hollow casting ceramic process, are filled with thermal insulation material and have a special black glaze and a gold-plated back. At an operating temperature of 900 °C, over 75 % of the electrical energy supplied is transferred to the material to be heated as medium to long-wave IR radiation.
SHTS Series heaters are therefore particularly suitable for use in plant construction in which special solutions have to be drawn up for the customer's specific needs and for applications requiring high outputs.
The four designs cover the power range from 300 W to 1200 W and have customary market dimensions. Existing IR equipments can therefore be retrofitted with Elstein SHTS Series heaters.

The power can be controlled by using thermocouple heaters with TRD temperature controllers, TSE thyristor switching units and other accessories.
IR radiation panels can be assembled using REO reflectors, REF construction sets, EBI and EBF construction elements, BSI and BSH panels as well as mounting sheets MBO.
The national safety regulations must be complied with for the respective application, for example, the IEC or EN standard 60519-1, Safety in electrical heating installations.
Further information and safety instructions are mentioned in the mounting sheet, which is attached to each heater.
