Components of a Hopper Surface Heating System
  
|
Hopper Heating Module
Silicone Rubber Heating Blankets / Pads
- Provides heat for the body of the hopper.
- Are very thin, low profile.
- Are easy to install with "peel 'n stick" pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA).
- Are strategically placed on the hopper to give maximum heat coverage. (see diagram to the right for an example of blanket placement)
- Allow insulation directly on heater, eliminating unwanted "air-gaps" and lost energy
