UL-certified heating elements

Ihne & Tesch has been producing and supplying reliable CSA-certified heating elements for many years. Now it is going one step further – the group can now offer heating elements that comply with UL certification requirements (for both Canada and the USA).
CSA and UL certifications are a key quality feature for manufacturers in the plastics processing industry, proving that heating elements fulfill the relevant safety and quality standards.
Ihne & Tesch has now expanded its production processes accordingly and can therefore offer heating elements that are UL-approved and bear the UL logo. These options make it easier to comply with legal requirements.
“Our UL-certified heating elements offer our customers maximum safety and compliance with the regulatory requirements of the North American market,” explains Abderahmane Ouhbi, Head of Sales. “By marking the UL logo directly on the heating element, our customers can visualize the certification.”
UL certifications are currently available for various product groups. The portfolio includes, for example, band heaters (types KHK, M, and ZAK), heating/cooling combinations (type HAK), and flat or frame-shaped tool heaters (type FAK) for demanding applications in the plastics industry. The company is already working on further approvals for other product groups (e.g., nozzle heating tapes, type DAK) to continuously expand its range.
