Industrial Tubular Heaters
The most adaptable industrial heating element. Tubular heaters are robust, versatile, and can be formed into various shapes for heating air, liquids, or surfaces.
TUBULAR HEATERS
Tubular Heaters for Industrial Applications
Heatox tubular heaters are one of the most adaptable and widely used heating solutions in industrial and commercial systems. Built around a durable metal sheath enclosing a precision-wound resistance coil and densely packed insulation, these heaters deliver uniform heat distribution and robust performance across a wide range of applications – from process heating and packaging machinery to ovens, tanks, and dies.
Their flexible design allows them to be bent into virtually any shape without compromising performance, making them ideal for both straightforward and complex heating configurations. Whether surface-mounted, inserted into metal blocks, or immersed in liquids, Heatox tubular heaters provide efficient, long-lasting heat wherever you need it.
With multiple sheath materials, watt densities, mounting styles, and terminal options available, our tubular heaters can be fully customised to meet your exact thermal and spatial requirements – all backed by engineering expertise and responsive support.

Learn MoreTubular Heaters
Tubular heaters are versatile, robust elements used in air, liquid, and solid heating applications.
Learn MoreSplit Sheath Heaters
Split sheath heaters offer a powerful upgrade from standard cartridges. Once energised, the sheath expands to create a tight fit inside the bore, maximising thermal transfer.
Learn MoreThermocouples
Heatox supplies high-quality thermocouples for accurate temperature sensing in industrial and laboratory settings.
Learn More304 Stainless Steel Sheaths
Ideal for oxidation resistance throughout many environments. 316 Stainless Steel and Incoloy® are also available upon request.
High Impact Ceramic Caps
Suitable for high vibration applications and prevent contamination. By employing deep holes in the cap, the fraying of leads is avoided when bent.
High Temperature Lead Wires
High-temperature lead wires are employed for working temperatures up to 550°C.
Nickel-Chromium Resistance Wire
Nickel-chromium resistance wire brings maximum heater life, we evenly wind it for a balanced heat distribution.
High Purity Magnesium Oxide
Selected for maximum thermal conductivity and maximum dielectric strength. It is highly compacted for optimal heat transfer.
