Formed industrial heating
Robust tubular heating elements sourced for air, liquid, tooling and process applications, including Hotset hotflex flexible tubular heaters.
A broad heating format
Tubular heaters enclose an electrically insulated resistance element within a metal sheath that can be supplied straight or formed for the application.
Hotset UK sources tubular heaters from a range of established suppliers, allowing the construction to be selected around the medium, temperature, dimensions, electrical loading and required shape.
The range also includes hotflex from Hotset Germany: a flexible tubular heater designed to be formed in three dimensions for heating moulds, tools and complex profiles.
Heating air, liquid and solid metal components presents different demands. Always identify the heated medium, operating temperature, required sheath material, mounting and control method.
Two tubular-heater formats
Choose an application-specific tubular heater or a Hotset hotflex element that can be formed by hand to follow a three-dimensional channel.
Application-specific construction
Straight or factory-formed heating elements selected around the medium, operating temperature, dimensions, sheath material and electrical rating.
Formable by hand
Hotset hotflex elements are supplied straight and can be formed by hand to follow moulds, tools and complex three-dimensional heating channels.
Hotset hotflex
Hotflex is a flexible tubular heater that can be formed by hand in three dimensions, allowing heat to follow the shape of moulds, tools and complex channels.
The highly compressed stainless-steel construction provides close contact with the recommended groove, supporting efficient heat transfer and rapid heat-up without specialist forming equipment.
Hotset UK holds selected 6.5 mm and 8.5 mm heaters for rapid supply. Other listed sizes are normally available from Hotset Germany in 7–10 working days.

Typical applications
A tubular construction can transfer heat into air, liquids, tooling and solid components when correctly selected and installed.
Ducts, ovens and circulation systems using correctly supported elements and controlled airflow.
Immersion arrangements designed for the liquid, vessel, watt density and required sheath compatibility.
Formed elements installed in grooves or channels to heat production tooling and metal components.
Bespoke heating assemblies for machinery manufacturers and specialist process equipment.
Preparing an enquiry
