Introduction to Tank Pad Heaters
Pad heaters are flexible, surface-mounted heating elements that provide direct and consistent heat to tanks, vessels, and industrial equipment. They prevent temperature fluctuations and ensure stored substances remain at the desired viscosity and temperature. Tank pad heaters offer a cost-effective and reliable thermal management solution for freeze protection or process heating.
