In the demanding world of industrial engineering, reliable and precise thermal control is non-negotiable. Traditional heating solutions often fail when faced with complex geometries or specialized operational requirements. This is where Ohmvo Flexible Heat steps in, offering highly customized, ultra-thin heating solutions that redefine what flexible heat can achieve.
The Science of Superior Performance
Ohmvo’s technology is built on advanced material science, utilizing a modified silicone compound that enhances thermal conductivity. This improved conductivity is crucial for achieving the sought-after uniform heating across surfaces.
A defining feature of Ohmvo’s products is their unparalleled customization. Unlike competitors who mainly sell catalog items, Ohmvo manufactures products that are tailor-made to customer specifications, ensuring a perfect “Custom design”. This includes the ability to adjust the voltage and power density to meet specific needs, whether for rapid heating in time-sensitive applications or precise temperature control for delicate tasks.
These flexible heaters are constructed using ultra-thin silicone, granting them improved flexibility and the capacity to conform seamlessly to a wide range of shapes, curved surfaces, and geometries. This design ensures the heating element maintains close contact with the surface, which is vital for efficient heat transfer.
Furthermore, the material offers robustness essential for industrial environments:
- The full silicone encapsulation provides superior IP protection compared to conventional thin-film solutions.
- Silicone ensures outstanding sealing and electrical insulation properties.
- The inclusion of fiberglass offers necessary mechanical reinforcement.
Applications: Where Flexibility Meets High-Tech Requirements
Ohmvo’s customized heating solutions are deployed across complex and regulated industries, from agri-food and pharmaceuticals to railways.
For large industrial sectors, Ohmvo’s flexible heat fulfills critical functions:
- Safety and De-icing: Heaters are used to prevent the appearance of ice on exterior elements, ensuring the functionality of sensors, antennas, or train doors. Ohmvo is certified EN45545 R1/R7 HL3, enabling them to work for the railway industry.
- Process Heating: They provide the necessary heat for tasks such as plastic welding, high-temperature presses (up to 150°C), injection molds, or the dilation of metal parts in the aeronautical industry.
- Temperature Maintenance: Products like the OHMBELT (drum heaters & heating belts) maintain temperatures in containers, tanks, or bioreactors to prevent product spoilage.
A Critical Component in Cleaning Efficiency
Silicone heaters are silent champions of efficiency in ultrasonic cleaning machines. They ensure that the cleaning liquid bath reaches and maintains the optimal temperature required for maximum cleaning efficacy. This optimal heat dramatically enhances cleaning outcomes and shortens cycle times.
