Core Value: The Far Infrared Silicon Carbide (SiC) Rod Heater is the premier non-metallic heating element for high-temperature industrial furnaces operating between 600°C and 1400°C. Made from high-purity green silicon carbide via a high-temperature recrystallization process, these elements offer superior oxidation resistance and a slower “aging” (resistance increase) rate compared to standard market rods. They emit intense far-infrared energy, making them ideal for sintering ceramics, melting glass, and heat-treating metals. BACKED BY 30+ YEARS MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE and UNDERGOES MULTIPLE RIGOROUS QUALITY CHECKS, our SiC rods feature low-resistance cold ends to maximize furnace efficiency and protect electrical connections.
- ✓ High Temperature: Stable operation up to 1400°C (2550°F) in air atmosphere.
- ✓ Slow Aging: Special coating technology retards the oxidation process for longer service life.
- ✓ Low Resistance Cold Ends: Cold zone resistance is minimized to prevent terminal overheating.
- ✓ High Watt Density: Capable of surface loads up to 30 W/cm², delivering rapid heating.
- ✓ Corrosion Resistant: Withstands acid and alkali vapors better than metallic elements.
- ✓ Various Shapes: Available in Rod (ED), Dumbbell (DB), U-Shape, W-Shape, and Spiral types.
- ✓ Reliable Quality: 30+ YEARS MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE ensures precise resistance matching.
- ✓ Quality Assured: UNDERGOES MULTIPLE RIGOROUS QUALITY CHECKS.
- ✓ Global Standards: CE, LVD, RoHS, ISO 9001 certified.

Industrial Applications & Solutions
- Sintering Furnaces: Production of technical ceramics, ferrites, and powder metallurgy parts. The uniform far-infrared heat ensures consistent grain structure in sintered products.
- Glass Melting & Feeder Bowls: Keeping glass molten in feeder forehearths. SiC rods can withstand the corrosive vapors from molten glass batches.
- Lithium Battery Materials: Calcination of cathode materials (LFP/NCM). Our high-purity SiC prevents contamination of the battery material.
- Laboratory Furnaces: High-temperature muffle furnaces and box furnaces for R&D. Fast heat-up rates allow for quick thermal cycling experiments.
- Heat Treatment: Hardening and annealing of steel parts. Provides a clean, electric heat source without carbon potential issues.
- Aluminum Casting: Holding furnaces for molten aluminum. Using protection tubes to prevent direct contact with metal.

Installation & Integration Guidelines
- Handling: SiC elements are hard but brittle. Handle with extreme care to avoid mechanical shock. Install freely—ensure the mounting holes are large enough to allow the rod to expand and contract without binding.
- Resistance Matching: Always replace SiC elements in matched sets. Mixing old (high resistance) and new (low resistance) rods in the same zone will cause the new rods to overload and fail prematurely.
- Power Supply: Because SiC resistance increases with age, a Variable Voltage Power Supply (SCR or Transformer) is highly recommended to maintain constant power output over the heater’s life.
- Start-up: Ramp up temperature slowly to dry out moisture and prevent thermal shock.
