Industrial Electric Heating Control Across Manufacturing Industries.

Electric heating is widely used across modern industrial manufacturing processes. From plastics extrusion and automotive paint curing to glass production, ceramics kilns and pharmaceutical sterilisation, controlled heat is essential to achieve consistent product quality and stable production performance.

Industrial heating systems often use electrical heating elements such as:

  • resistance wire heaters
    • silicon carbide (SiC) elements
    • molybdenum disilicide (MoSi₂) elements
    • cartridge and band heaters
    • infrared heaters

To maintain stable temperatures, the electrical power delivered to these heaters must be carefully regulated.

CD Automation specialises in thyristor (SCR) power controllers, which regulate electrical power supplied to industrial heating systems. By modulating power rather than simply switching heaters on and off, these controllers help manufacturers achieve:

  • stable temperature control
  • improved heater lifespan
  • controlled start-up behaviour
  • integration with PLC and industrial automation systems

Explore how electric heating control is applied across different manufacturing industries below.

What happens next?

This isn't an automated product-selection tool.

One of our team will look at the information you've provided and review the application from an engineering point of view.

We may come back with a few questions, but we'll normally be looking at things such as:

  • The type of electrical load
  • Supply and current requirements
  • The most appropriate firing method
  • REVO-S, REVO-C or multi-loop architecture
  • Diagnostics and monitoring requirements
  • PLC and communications
  • Opportunities to simplify the design
  • Future machine standardisation

No lengthy specification needed.

Just give us enough information to get the conversation started.
