Radiant tube heaters

Through its Bristol Maid brand, Hospital Metalcraft specialises in the design, manufacture, distribution and sourcing of medical furniture and equipment. The company has over 1000 product lines covering many categories of different furniture and equipment.

Andy Royal of PWB says: "The old radiant heaters were proving unreliable and it was difficult to source spare parts. A decision was therefore made to install new heaters with more effective controls to improve energy efficiency and reliability. We selected Powrmatic products for their quality and reliability, as well as the support that goes with them."

The 17 Powrmatic radiant tube heaters are positioned strategically within the assembly area to ensure effective heat distribution, taking account of the positioning of machinery and building structures in the space. Each heater is controlled individually by a Powrmatic MC 200 digital controller to provide variable time and temperature control as well as optimised start/stop prediction.
