Heating Tape Kit Kuhlmann 250W/m | 400°C High Industrial Power Heat Tracing

High-Performance Kuhlmann Heating Tape Kit: 250 W/m at 400°C

The 0-400°C 250W/m Kuhlmann Heating Tape Kit is an electrical heat tracing solution specifically designed to meet the most stringent requirements of industrial and laboratory environments.¹ This tape is the ideal tool for processes that require constant and extremely powerful heating that can reach and maintain temperatures of up to 400 degrees Celsius. Its high linear power of 250 Watts per meter makes it possible to compensate for high heat losses and to ensure the maintenance of temperature of fluids that require rigorous thermal conditions, such as sensitive chemicals, heavy oils or waxes with high melting temperatures. This kit is a reliable answer for the maintenance of pumps and valves as well as for the management of temperature-sensitive fluids.

Robust Design and Superior Thermal Efficiency

The construction of this high-temperature heating tape has been optimized to ensure exceptional heat transfer and high energy efficiency. Its glass silk insulation ensures dielectric strength in extreme temperatures (up to 400°C), while the copper braiding provides essential mechanical protection and secure grounding. Its design is deliberately flexible, allowing the tape to closely conform to the shape of complex surfaces, maximizing contact and thus heat exchange efficiency. With compact dimensions of 35x5mm, it can be installed in tight spaces. This product is designed to prevent condensation and ensure the ideal viscosity of your materials, avoiding costly production downtime.

Precise Temperature Control up to 400°C

Managing a power of 250 W/m requires high-precision control. This kit is designed to work seamlessly with the 530-Series Controller, ensuring consistent heat distribution and preventing overheating of materials. Temperature control is ensured by the use of Type K Thermocouple Probes, recognized in the industry for their reliability in measuring high temperatures. This combination of elements not only ensures the safety of the system, but also the precise achievement and maintenance of the desired temperature in the range 0-400°C. The power supply is via a standard voltage 230V 50Hz with a Schuko plug (CEE 7/7), facilitating integration into most European infrastructures.

Targeted Applications and Optimal Instructions for Use

Thanks to its ability to reach 400°C, this kit is particularly suitable for applications requiring very high heat treatment, far beyond simple frost protection.

• Heating of Chemical Processes : Essential for maintaining certain chemical reactions, or for the transfer of solvents and polymer resins requiring high temperatures.

• Laboratories and Research Equipment : Allows the precise heating of experimental setups, distillation columns or filtration systems.

• Management of Critical Viscous Fluids : Maintaining the temperature of fluids such as liquid sulfur, certain polymers or bitumen, to ensure their pumpability.

• Maintenance of Production Equipment : Targeted heating for the dismantling or maintenance of pumps and valves that are clogged or frozen by cold or viscosity.

The best way to use this tape is to respect the minimum physical constraints to maximize its life: the minimum bending radius should be greater than 15 mm and the winding distance should be greater than 10 mm. It is crucial to ensure that the tape does not overlap (unless the manufacturer's instructions specifically allow it, which is not the case for a constant wattage tape). The installation must be followed by high-performance thermal insulation adapted to 400°C to optimize the efficiency of the 250W/m.

Technical Specifications of the 250 W/m Kuhlmann Ribbon

For a clear view of the capabilities of this product, here is a summary of its specifications:

It is important to note the IP20 protection class, which means that this kit is intended for use in dry environments or inside insulation that gives it protection against moisture (such as a waterproof junction box), as it is protected against solids larger than 12.5mm, but does not offer any protection against water.

Safety and Durability for Heavy Use

The investment in this 400°C scribing kit is a guarantee of reliability for your most demanding applications. The choice of fiberglass insulation, combined with copper braiding, gives the tape a noticeable longevity even under extreme thermal stresses. The 250 W/m power is a force that must be managed with the recommended control systems (530-Series and Type K Thermocouple) to ensure safety and operational efficiency. The installation of this high-power heating cable must be carried out with care, respecting the bending radii to preserve the integrity of the heating element. This ensures stable and efficient cable heating for maintaining process conditions.
