QM Series Quartz Sheath Heaters

High-Purity Quartz Heaters for Acidic and Corrosive Process Heating

The QM Series Quartz Sheath Heater is designed for reliable and safe heating in acidic plating solutions, pickling tanks, and other chemical process environments. Built with a heavy-wall metal heating element protected by a quartz sheath, this industrial-grade design ensures optimal chemical compatibility, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance.

Process Technology’s quartz heaters are trusted worldwide for maintaining temperature stability in aggressive chemistries — delivering efficient heat transfer, superior purity, and durable operation in demanding industrial systems.

Engineered for Harsh Chemical Environments

The QM Quartz Sheath Heater combines the durability of metal with the chemical resistance of quartz, providing superior protection in acidic and oxidizing solutions. The quartz sheath isolates the heating element from direct contact with corrosive fluids, ensuring longevity and maintaining process integrity.

Ideal for:
» Aqueous acidic plating solutions
» Pickling tanks
» High-purity chemical processes
» Laboratory and semiconductor wet benches
» Industrial chemical heating systems

Key Benefits and Technical Advantages

» Chemical Compatibility: Resistant to strong acids and corrosive environments for extended service life.
» High Purity: The quartz sheath ensures ultra-clean operation, minimizing contamination.
» Durable Design: Heavy-wall metal element ensures consistent heating and mechanical stability.
» Flexible Power Range: Available from 500 to 10,000 watts and 120 to 600 volts for single-phase systems.
» Safe and Reliable: Polypropylene guards (sold separately) offer additional operator protection and assembly flexibility.
» Efficient Heat Transfer: The quartz design enables precise and consistent heating without fluid degradation.

How Quartz Heaters Work

Quartz heaters generate heat through a resistance wire housed inside a quartz sheath.
When electricity flows through the wire, it heats up and emits infrared radiation. The quartz layer allows that radiant heat to transfer efficiently to the process medium or surrounding materials.

This indirect, flameless design provides:
» Instant heat-up response
» Even thermal distribution
» Reduced contamination risks
» Longer lifespan in corrosive settings

Unlike standard metal-sheathed heaters, quartz heaters offer superior chemical isolation, making them ideal for acidic and high-purity fluid heating.
