UK Flowtechnik offers a huge range of heaters to keep your fluid at the right temperature all year round. Hydraulic machinery can experience start-up problems due to the increased viscosity at cold temperatures. For example, 46cst oil at 10°C has a viscosity of approximately 260cst which in many cases can cause mechanical or increased wear on system components. We hold heaters in stock which enables us to offer quick delivery service for when a breakdown occurs.

VR Immersion Heaters With Magnetic Clamp
The VR heaters are supplied with magnetic clamps which require no mounting effort from the end user and are an ideal solution to retrofitting existing installations. Protection rated to IP68 therefore they are completely submersible. As standard, they are supplied with an integrated thermostat with a cut-off temperature of 40°C, other cut off temperatures are available.
PTHK 90 Heaters
Cartridge screwed-in tank heater with exchangeable tube insert. Protection is rated to IP 65 as standard, but others are available. This type of heating insert can be changed without evacuation of the fluid within the tank.
PTHK 92 Heaters
Cartridge screwed-in tank heater with temperature adjustment, external or internal regulation. Standard temperature controllers are 0°C up to 85°C. Protection is rated to IP54 for externals thermostat heaters and IP65 for internal thermostat heaters. This type of heating insert can be changed without having to empty the contents within tank while also having an adjustable temperature thermostat.
RHK Heaters
Tube screwed-in tank heaters with a screwed thread of 1-½". Protection is rated to IP65 as standard, but others are available. This type of heater is a low-cost option, perfect for applications where there is a strict budget.
RHK-TH Heaters
Tube screwed-in heater with temperature adjustment. Standard temperature controllers are 0°C up to 85°C. Protection is rated to IP54 for externals thermostat heaters and IP65 for internal thermostat heaters. Screwed thread of 1-½“ but others are available upon request.
WHK Heaters
Tube screwed-in heater with mounting via the tank lid. Can be supplied with or without a thermostat. Standard temperature controllers are 0°C up to 85°C. Protection is rated to IP54 WHK heaters. Screwed thread of 1-½“ but others are available upon request.
EDH Heaters
For pre-heating of hydraulic oil, heating oil or other hard-inflammatory agents. The fluid to be heated is lead through a heating element bundle with the aid of deflection segments. The heaters require a minimum flow rate to ensure sufficient velocity over the heating bundle to avoid carbonisation of the fluid. Available with heating capacities of 0 - 90kW. Thermostat 0-90ºC (Not EDH-500). Temperature limiter at 100ºC (Not EDH-500).
