Non-uniform heating by a heat blanket is generally caused by one of two factors, poor quality construction or improper handling. HEATCON® has the solution to both situations. The most effective means to evenly distribute heat is by placing the heater wires closer together. Poorly designed heat blankets have circuit spacing of often 0.5in (12.7mm) or more, whereas our blankets have a circuit spacing of 0.15in (3.81mm) average.

We have also addressed the improper handling factor by incorporating a strain relief in the power lead entry tab, using special eyelet crimping techniques and utilizing double buss bars which minimize open circuits at the buss bar connection. Computer-generated circuitry optimizes circuit design to create even heat distribution.
