Flexible electric surface heat for floors, plattens, ducts, and cylindrical surfaces.
Custom Solutions
HTS/Amptek® Blankets are a great solution for flexible electric surface heat. They may be configured to fit on floors, plattens, ducts or wrapped around cylindrical surfaces such as pipes, cylinders, bottles and chambers. Large areas may be engineered using a modular approach having multiple heaters.
All Blanket Heating Systems are custom designed. Heaters, Insulation, Controls, Sensors and Power Distribution are components of a complete system. HTS/Amptek® can coordinate a System Design, then produce drawings for approval before fabrication may start.
Flat surface heat for cylinders, cones and rectangles becomes more of a challenge when cut-outs are necessary for ports, flanges, hangers and supports. HTS/Amptek® engineers design around these obstructions, creating blankets that fit precisely around any geometry.
Large enclosures can be heated using a systematic blanket design approach. Obstructions and heated zones are fabricated and prewired for efficient installation.
Whether prefabricated Jackets or contractor installed, fiberglass or similar insulation must cover these blankets to maintain heat efficiency. For insulation method recommendations, trust HTS/Amptek® design engineers for thermal sizing, plus power and control system suggestions.
Construction Detail
The serpentine knitted Heating Tape Element is durable and impervious to expansion stress. The multi-strand wire is Nickel alloy and pre-insulated with two layers of braided AMOX™ yarn.
High temperature Blankets feature “pocket” or direct-installed Heating Tape elements which are distributed in an even matrix for optimum heat transfer. Lead Wires, Jumpers and Sensors are stitched/bonded in place with adequate strain relief and sleeving reinforcement where necessary.
The outer Fabric, typically Fiberglass, Silica-Glass or AMOX™ provides flexibility and dielectric strength. Installation “closure” flaps are typically lacing hooks or eyelets.
Lead Wires, Jumpers and Sensors exit Jackets via sewn and reinforced tabs on the sides or ends where convenient. They may be custom length and armored with Stainless flex. Desired connectors may be specified, such as Straight Blade, Twist Lock or Pin and Sleeve, in single or three phase.

Control Systems
HTS/Amptek® offers a complete range of temperature control and power distribution solutions for heating blanket systems. From simple single-zone controllers to multi-zone custom panels, every system is designed to provide accurate, reliable temperature regulation.
Standard Single Zone Controllers available from HTS/Amptek® are accurate and easy to use. Ideal for a Single Jacket, they are Auto-Tune PID with Solid State Relay output.
Control Panels with pre-wired power and sensor distribution provide convenient installation for multiple Jackets. Contact HTS/Amptek® with your Heater and Control requirement.
Control Systems may be Wall, Floor, Rack or Portable Cart mount type. Contact support at HTS/Amptek® for expert design consultation.
