How These Products Work

Heating elements convert electrical energy into heat through electrical resistance. When an electric current passes through the element’s internal wire or coil (typically made from nichrome or similar alloys), it generates heat which is then transferred into the surrounding air, liquid or metal surface.

  • Tubular elements radiate and conduct heat for ovens, machinery and catering appliances.
  • Immersion heaters heat liquids directly by submerging the element.
  • Cartridge elements deliver concentrated heat inside metal blocks or tooling.
  • Band heaters clamp around barrels, pipes or cylinders to provide uniform surface heating.

Each design is engineered to deliver consistent thermal output, improving operational accuracy and equipment performance.

Ideal Use / Application

These heating elements are suitable for:

  • Commercial ovens, grills, fryers and catering equipment
  • Industrial machinery and manufacturing processes
    Water heating systems, tanks and vessels
  • Plastic injection moulding and tooling
  • Laboratory and test equipment
  • Replacement parts for routine maintenance and servicing

Whether you’re replacing a failed heating element or sourcing components for new installations, our products offer dependable performance across a wide range of heating applications.

Important Considerations & Safety Notes

  • Always ensure the heating element’s voltage, wattage and dimensions match your equipment specifications.
  • Installation should be performed by a qualified engineer or technician.
  • Never operate heating elements without correct mounting, clamping, or immersion (depending on type).
  • Allow equipment to cool before handling or replacing components.
  • Ensure proper grounding and electrical safety measures are in place.
  • Regularly check for signs of wear, hotspots, corrosion, or uneven heating.

Customer Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Ceramic infrared element

Replacement for my sauna heater very good replacement works as well as the original. Good price and delivery"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Good product, price, and service

Ordered this and it turned up quickly and worked and was quite cheap. Hopefully the uplift in current rating from the standard 16a will mean it take longer to burn out. But only time will tell"
