Stop Heater Failures and Production Downtime

If your electrically heated process suffers from unstable temperature control, rising energy costs, repeated heater failures or unexplained downtime, your power control system is often the root cause.

Our industrial thyristor power controllers help UK manufacturers stabilise temperature control, extend heater life and keep production running, without major machine redesign.

See How It Works

What this solves

Unplanned downtime
Temperature overshoot and instability
Premature heater failure
Excess energy consumption

The of Poor Power Control

Every heater failure or temperature fault costs more than parts, it disrupts production, wastes energy and puts pressure on maintenance teams.

Downtime

Unexpected failures stop production lines and delay orders.

Scrap & rework

Unstable temperatures lead to quality issues and waste product.

Rising energy bills

Poor control causes overshoot, cycling and unnecessary power use.

In short, our systems are built for the realities of industrial production, not laboratory conditions or short-term operation.

A to More Stable Production

CD Automation has spent decades helping UK manufacturers improve the reliability and efficiency of electrically heated processes.

1. Review

We assess your heaters, load type and process challenges.

2. Upgrade

Install an industrial-grade thyristor power controller.

3. Run with confidence

Enjoy stable temperature control and reduced failures.

The result is improved stability and reduced failures - without adding complexity for your maintenance or operations teams.

What Gain From a Power Control Upgrade

Upgrading from basic contactor or legacy SCR control to a modern thyristor system delivers immediate and long-term operational benefits.

Reduced downtime

Early fault detection, heater alarms and remote diagnostics dramatically cut unplanned stoppages.

Lower energy costs

Energy monitoring highlights inefficiencies and helps reduce kWh per unit of production.

Longer heater life

Smooth power control and bakeout functions reduce thermal and electrical stress.

Faster fault finding

Clear diagnostics show whether issues are heater, wiring or control related.

Improved process stability

Tighter power control reduces temperature overshoot and cycling.

Maintenance and production teams spend less time firefighting.

Enjoy stable temperature control and reduced failures.

That Deliver Measurable Results

Modernising your power control system does more than switch heaters on and off. Industrial thyristor controllers add intelligence, visibility and protection that directly improves uptime and operating costs.

Early Fault Detection & Prevention Pack

Heater break alarm and load monitoring detect failed or degrading heaters early — before they cause product scrap or unplanned downtime.

Benefit: faster fault identification, reduced emergency callouts.

Heater Bakeout Function

Controlled bakeout routines dry moisture from heaters during cold start-up, reducing electrical stress and premature failure.

Benefit: longer heater life and fewer start-up failures.

Remote Access via Smartphone
or PC

Secure remote access allows engineers to view alarms, status and performance data from anywhere.

Benefit: quicker response times and reduced site visits.

Energy Monitoring & Troubleshooting Pack

Monitor voltage, current, power and energy usage to identify inefficiencies, overloaded zones and abnormal behaviour.

Benefit: lower kWh per unit produced and clear energy accountability.

System Integration Pack

Seamless integration with PLC, SCADA and building management systems using standard industrial communication protocols.

Benefit: centralised visibility, alarms and data logging.

Soft-Start & Electrical Protection

Controlled power ramp-up reduces inrush current and thermal shock on heaters and transformers.

Benefit: improved electrical reliability and reduced component stress.
