We combine experienced in-house engineering, extensive manufacturing capability and responsive technical support to provide heating solutions designed around the process—not simply selected from a catalogue.

Whether you need a standard component, a bespoke one-off heater, an urgent replacement or a fully integrated thermal system, our objective is the same: to deliver a practical, reliable and cost-effective solution.

Bespoke Engineering, Not Catalogue-Led Selling

No two industrial heating applications are exactly alike. Dimensions, materials, operating temperatures, power supplies, process conditions and control requirements can differ significantly.

Our sales engineers and designers assess the application before recommending the equipment. Where a standard product is suitable, we will specify it. Where it is not, we can design and manufacture a bespoke heating element, assembly or control system around your requirements.

Our custom capabilities include:

  • Bespoke dimensions and geometries
  • One-off and repeat-production components
  • Custom voltage, wattage and watt-density specifications
  • Alternative sheath, insulation and resistance materials
  • Integrated temperature sensors and controls
  • Specialist terminations and mounting arrangements
  • Equipment for high-temperature, corrosive or hazardous environments

You receive a solution designed to work within your process, equipment and available budget.

One Partner Across the Complete Heating System

A reliable industrial heating system requires more than a heating element. Controls, sensors, power distribution, electrical connections, fittings and insulation must work together safely and efficiently.

Indelex can support the complete system through a comprehensive portfolio covering:

  • Component heating elements
  • Process heating assemblies
  • Surface heating systems
  • Temperature controllers and sensors
  • Power controllers and switchgear
  • Bespoke electrical control panels
  • High-temperature cables and connectors
  • Fittings, flanges and installation components
  • Insulation materials and removable jackets
  • Specialist high-temperature ancillary equipment

This joined-up capability helps reduce compatibility problems, simplify procurement and create a more coordinated technical solution.

Extensive Industrial Heating Capability

Our manufacturing capabilities extend from small, low-power heating components to large industrial process-heating systems rated in the megawatt range.

We provide solutions for heating liquids, gases, airflows, surfaces, vessels, pipelines, machinery and controlled industrial environments. Applications range from cartridge heaters for tightly constrained tooling to large gas-line and inline process heaters.

This breadth of experience allows us to consider different heating methods rather than forcing every application into one familiar product category.

In-House Technical Knowledge

Industrial heating performance depends on many interacting factors. These can include heat-transfer method, watt density, fluid properties, airflow, pressure, material compatibility, insulation, electrical supply and control accuracy.

Our in-house design and application-engineering experience helps customers evaluate these factors before equipment is specified or manufactured.

You do not need to arrive with a finished technical specification. Give us the information available about your process, and we will help determine what else is needed to develop an appropriate solution.

Quality and Compliance

Industrial heating equipment must operate reliably under demanding electrical, mechanical and thermal conditions.

Indelex operates a quality-management system to ISO 9001:2015. Products and systems can be designed and manufactured to applicable electrical, pressure-equipment and hazardous-area requirements.

Depending on the equipment, application and destination market, relevant standards or approval schemes may include:

  • CE
  • PED
  • ATEX
  • IECEx
  • UL
  • CSA
  • ASME

Certification and compliance requirements should be identified at the beginning of a project so that they can be incorporated into the design and manufacturing process.

Hazardous-Area Capability

Heating equipment used in potentially explosive environments requires careful specification, controlled manufacturing and appropriate protection.

Indelex can provide heating equipment for hazardous applications, including Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments. Available configurations may incorporate explosion-resistant enclosures, controlled surface temperatures, temperature-limiting devices, backup sensors and redundant protection.

Where required, products may be supplied with applicable hazardous-area certification. Our team can help assess the area classification, temperature class, operating conditions and certification requirements relevant to the application.

Rapid Manufacturing and Breakdown Support

When heating equipment fails, the cost of lost production can quickly exceed the cost of the component itself.

We provide realistic lead times based on the equipment required and current manufacturing capacity. Where a replacement is urgent, a fast-track option may be available.

Our breakdown service is designed to support critical failures, with some urgent work completed within a few days and, in exceptional circumstances, within hours.

The sooner we receive the existing equipment details, drawings, photographs and required delivery date, the sooner we can assess the available options.

Repair and Refurbishment Where It Makes Sense

Replacement is not always the fastest or most economical answer.

Where technically practical, Indelex can repair or refurbish old and obsolete heating equipment. This can extend asset life, reduce expenditure and return critical equipment to service without waiting for a completely new system.

Each item must be assessed individually. We will recommend refurbishment only where it represents a sound and dependable solution.

Designed for Efficiency and Long-Term Reliability

The initial cost of a heater is only one part of its commercial impact. Poor heat transfer, unsuitable controls, inadequate insulation or incorrect material selection can increase energy consumption, shorten equipment life and disrupt production.

We consider the complete operating requirement, including:

  • Heat-transfer efficiency
  • Temperature stability
  • Energy containment
  • Material compatibility
  • Control accuracy
  • Thermal cycling
  • Maintenance access
  • Component replacement
  • Expected service life

The objective is not merely to make equipment that produces heat. It is to create a thermal solution that supports reliable and efficient operation over its working life.

Practical Advice From People Who Understand Heating

Sometimes you know exactly what you need. Sometimes you have an application, an equipment failure or an obsolete component and need help identifying the best route forward.

In either case, our role is to provide sound technical guidance. If a standard product meets the requirement, we will say so. If the application needs a bespoke design, integrated controls, refurbishment or a different heating method, we will explain why.
