MOSIL Four Shank elements

Four shank heating elements for Horizontal Use

In the case of furnaces with low chamber height, the best choice is to use horizontally mounted elements.

The four shank elements are advantageous over two shank in a way that the hot zones are longer and therefore only a few elements are needed for heating up the furnace and obtaining the required temperature, with minimal losses at the cold ends. This makes the four-shank elements more economical than its two-shank counterparts. It can be supported from beneath or stapled to high-temperature fiberboard and installed on the wall or roof of the furnace. Four shank heating elements are used where the maximum element temperature will not exceed 1600°C (2910°F).

Four-shank elements with straight terminals are outlined by:
• The quality
• Heating zone diameter, mm
• Terminal diameter, mm
• Terminal length, Lu, mm (in)
• Heating zone length, Le, mm (in)
• Heating zone length, B, mm (in)
• Center distances between shanks, a, mm (in)
