13. Quality as a FoundationCertified ISO 2001: 2008 standard

14. In 2001, Nexthermal was the first electric heater manufacturer in the world to become certified under ISO 2001: 2000 standard

15. All outgoing product is 100% checked for safety, performance and fit metrics

16. All raw materials are checked with traceable certificate to prove acceptance

17. All customer returns are diagnosed for root cause, regardless of costMaterials and ConstructionMaterials

18. Stainless steel 321 vs. 316

19. Ti content resists intergranular corrosion at higher temperatures

20. Heat treated in special atmospheric oven to realign grain structure for flexibility

21. High purity MgO reduces electrical leakage and improves safety

22. Further processed by Nexthermal for performance

23. Heat treated resistance wire to provide long life

24. Construction

25. Highly compacted, improves heat transfer - better heater life

26. Unique assembly process controls wire position after forming

27. Controlled heat pattern

28. Welded electrical connections provide cleanest signalCoil Heater‘Other’ Heater- note the twist in the resistance wire

29. Poor heat management = Poor system efficiencyCoil HeaterX-ray sample of our coil heater showing resistance wire placement

30. Improved performance and improved heat transfer efficiencyNozzle Design for Optimal Heat TransferNozzle diameter tolerance for good heat transfer (important for heater ID)

31. Minimum heat loss with adequate wattage distribution to offset

32. Tip geometry to limit heat loss but engineered to prevent drool (correct design of contact and sealing surface)

33. Minimum clearance from OD of heater to boreNote the reflection tube pushes the heat into the toolLess heat loss = more heat transfer to application (~15-20% reduction in watts needed)
