Description

Eliminate bore seizures with Dalton’s revolutionary Watt-Flex® split-sheath cartridge heater. When compared to traditional cartridge heaters, the Watt-Flex® uses less power and can last up to five times longer. Its patented split-sheath design helps provide greater contact with the wall of the bore, maximizing heat transfer, and can help reduce your average costs by nearly 40%.

  • Improved Maintenance: Because Watt-Flex® has a unique split-sheath design, it contracts when cold, so it can be easily removed from the bore, and is particularly ideal for oversized bores.
  • Zero Bore Seizures: Its split-sheath design eliminates any risk of bore seizures and expensive drillouts.
  • Uses Less Energy: Watt-Flex® maximizes heat transfer, which not only results in safer, uniform heating but also less waste.
  • Better Performance & Durability: This cartridge heater delivers 50% higher watt densities and operating temperature up to 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit than traditional cartridge heaters.
  • Distributive Wattage: Watt-Flex® integrates distributed wattage technology that allows operators to vary the wattage along the length of the heater.

  • High-Grade MgO Dielectric Core: Many traditional cartridge heaters use a ceramic core, but the Watt-Flex® incorporates compacted high-grade MgO to increase dielectric strength and improve heater life.
  • Hot or Cool Tips: These heaters are customized for hot or cool tips, depending on application needs.
  • Single Continuous Heating Coil: The Watt-Flex® features a continuous coil to ensure better uniformity.
  • High-Strength Construction: Watt-Flex® features an Incoloy sheath for added corrosion resistance and strength, nickel chromium resistance wire to improve performance, and stainless steel terminals to ensure secure connections.
  • Protected Lead Wires: Dalton offers two straight or right-angle headers for the Watt-Flex: 1) A stainless steel braid, or 2) a stainless steel BX interlocking hose.
  • Lead Options: Watt-Flex® can come with standard temperature leads, standard temperature Teflon leads, high-temperature leads, fiberglass or rubber sleeving, quick disconnect, or threaded post terminals.
