Basic structure of a metal flat heater
Metal flat heaters are manufactured using the so-called thick-film process. Multiple layers with various functions are applied to a metallic substrate using screen printing.
In addition to standardized solutions, our stainless steel substrates can also be custom-made and printed according to individual customer specifications. The conductive path is designed by our highly motivated team based on the desired performance data and tailored to the heater’s geometry. Custom solutions such as the precise integration of sensors are faithfully implemented from single pieces to large-scale production.
Cleanroom manufacturing, from substrate preparation to soldering the contacts, ensures the highest quality standards. The result is a durable and light-weight resistance heater with high energy efficiency. Our commitment to quality is completed by a functional test.
