Life Sciences
Heated, moist oxygen is required in patient respiratory therapy and
anesthesia. A Watlow silicone rubber heater, engineered to meet both UL
and CSA agency approval, is factory vulcanized to the unique geometry of
the humidifier's hot plate. The custom heater shape includes holes for a
thermostat, hi-limit control and support framework. The sub-assembly
increases heat transfer efficiency and reduces the manufacturer's
installation cost.
 Plastics
Processing
The patented THINBANDŽ heater's flexible one-piece design makes
installation on plastics molding equipment faster and easier. Processors
no longer need to remove other band heaters already in place or purchase
more expensive two-piece bands. The new spring-loaded QUICK CLAMP secures
the THINBAND heater tightly around the barrel with an easy flip of the
thumb.
Semiconductors Processing
Watlow designed an aluminium pressure cast-in platen assembly that
includes a formed cable heater and cooling tube with a well for the RTD
sensor. The precision machined surface maintains temperature uniformity to
400°C (752°F). The JIT assembly enables the equipment manufacturer to
reduce lead times and supplier base.
 Foodservice
Equipment
The Series 733 multi-loop cooking computer provides menu-driven time and
temperature control on convection ovens. The control unit can be
programmed to include individual shelf timing, carousel control, door open
monitoring and special cooking curves. These features combine to assure
consistent, flavorful and safe food cooking in commercial restaurants. The
Series 733 is also used in griddle, fryer and steamer applications.
 Aerospace
Watlow Gordon engineers developed a unique sensor with a wear sleeve
design for turbine engine exhaust gas temperature sensing to meet the
demanding specifications of the U.S. government. The use of precision
machining on the investment cast parts along with electron beam welding
enabled the sensor to meet a series of qualifications tests including high
velocity vibration combined with extreme temperature gradients,
hermeticity and calibration accuracy. In more than ten years there has not
been a single failure.
