Alper-006 Polyester Heaters

Alper polyester heaters are manufactured using the screen printing method. This production technique allows for minimizing the thickness of the heating element (min. 0.2mm). High quality and precision are the distinguishing features of Alper foil heaters.

This fully customizable product range adapts to any desired current intensity and power. Flexible printed heaters, suitable for many applications, are used in the tightest spaces where heat is required. Thanks to the thin and flat form of Alper foil heaters, heat is directed only where needed, without wasting energy.

The surface in direct contact with the resistance absorbs uniformly radiating heat. There are various areas of application, such as the aerospace, marine, small household appliances (HAs) and construction industries. In the lithium battery pack industry, Alper heating elements serve an anti-freezing function and help maintain efficiency even at low temperatures.

Innovation and Production of Flat Heaters

Alper’s flat and flexible heaters are created to provide a reliable and durable solution. Alper has modern machinery, uses high-quality ink mixtures and materials. A thin, transparent PET film forms the base for the printed silver tracks designed to transport electric current; a thin layer of carbon ink is deposited on top. The distinguishing properties of carbon make it an ideal heating conductor.

The continuous search for new ink formulas with different ohmic values allowed Alper to make production capabilities extremely flexible and to develop new products according to customer specifications, with the possibility of introducing small changes in the required power (+/- 20%) during production, slightly changing the mixture proportions without the need to redesign the flexible resistance.

Benefits of Using Alper Defogging Heaters

Clear Cooker Hood Surface and Appliance Protection (NO-DRIP)

Alper defogging heaters are designed to prevent condensation from forming on the cooker hood's surface, especially for kitchen cooker hoods above induction hobs. The phenomenon of dripping vapors on the cooker hob may cause appliance damage. Alper heaters prevent these bad inconveniences.

User Comfort and Aesthetics

• User comfort: Alper heating elements contribute to a more comfortable cooking experience by eliminating the need to wipe down or manually clear fog from the cooker hood.
• Invisible: Our electrical resistances seamlessly integrate into the hood's structure, adding a technological sophistication to kitchens. It's both functional and aesthetically invisible.

Efficiency and Ease of Installation

• Fast and uniform heating: Alper effective defogging heaters heat uniformly, activating in a short time and ensuring continuous clarity during food cooking.
• Energy efficiency: ALPER anti-condensation heating elements are designed to operate only when needed by directing heat only where necessary, thereby saving energy and reducing operating costs.
• Ease of Installation: Easy installation and compatibility. Adaptable for various cooker hood models, Alper produces tailor-made models to make them suitable for any installations.
