PTFE insulated heating cable
factory terminated
This versatile heating cable is used for freeze protection and temperature maintenance, even under
highly corrosive environmental conditions. The heating cable ELK-AG-N is suited and approved for
use in potentially explosive atmospheres. It is highly flexible permitting its application in areas of use.
Upon consultation of our engineers, this cable may likewise be used for inside trace heating of piping.
Applications, especially in
hazardous areas: e.g.
Heat tracing on tanks
Heat tracing on vessels
Heat tracing on filters
Heat tracing on hoppers
Pipes, valves and pumps
Tank containers
IBC’s
Heating hoods
Automotive
Varnishing plants
Type ELK-AG-N up to 260 °C
Advantages:
Factory terminated
High chemical and mechanical
resistance
Can be used in all industrial areas
High working temperature
Can be used in liquids
Easy to install, even on complex shapes
