Meet the KBSH High-Temperature Heater
In many industrial and commercial applications, maintaining elevated room temperatures is mission-critical. Whether it’s for sterilization, curing, drying, or other specialty applications, not all heating solutions are built to take the heat—literally.
KBSH Series stainless steel high-temperature unit heaters rise to the challenge, and are engineered specifically for the harshest environments and most demanding requirements, elevating room temperatures up to 160F.
Real-World Applications: Performance Only KBSH Can Provide.
Pharmaceutical and Biomedical:
Pharmaceutical labs and cleanrooms must often undergo high-temperature cleaning cycles to meet sterility standards. Between tests, rooms may need to be superheated to sanitize surfaces and air without using harsh chemicals. The KBSH ensures these critical temperatures are reached quickly and maintained with precision.
Industrial Manufacturing:
Many industrial processes—such as curing composites, drying coatings, or heat-treating parts—require ambient temperatures above standard HVAC capabilities. The KBSH can serve as a dedicated process room heater, ensuring consistent thermal environments for quality control and product consistency.
Food Processing:
In meat packing plants, dairy facilities, and commercial kitchens, sanitation is strictly regulated. High temperatures can aid in sanitizing production areas during off-hours, reducing microbial presence. The KBSH’s stainless steel build makes it perfect for humid or washdown-prone areas.
Paint & Coating Rooms:
Paint and powder coating booths often require elevated temperatures for proper curing. The KBSH can maintain these temperatures even in rooms where airborne particulates, overspray, or humidity would damage less rugged heating systems.
Precision Control Remote from the Heater
At the heart of the KBSH’s performance is its remote-mounted precision temperature control panel. Unlike traditional heaters that house sensitive components in the heated space, the KBSH places them outside the high-temperature zone. This separation protects critical electronics from thermal stress, significantly extending the life of the unit.
The control panel uses solid-state relays to deliver proportional heating with outstanding accuracy—maintaining temperatures within ±1°F. This precision is essential for processes that depend on exact heat levels for consistent results.
Built for Durable High-Temperature Performance
The KBSH Series is designed to heat unoccupied spaces up to 160°F, making it ideal for environments where high temperatures are necessary for specific processes. KBSH features a rugged design and smart engineering. Constructed from 20-gauge type 304 stainless steel and equipped with stainless steel elements, the heater is made to endure prolonged exposure to extreme heat without compromising durability. Its NEMA 4-rated wiring compartment ensures protection against dirt, dust, corrosion, and moisture—ideal for environments that require regular hose-downs or cleaning.
Below are some key specs:
Remote-Mounted Precision Temperature Control Panel:
Critical control components are located outside the heated space, protected from high temperatures. The system uses solid-state relays to deliver proportional heating with ±1°F accuracy, ensuring consistent temperature regulation & longer component life.
Dependable in High-Temperature Environments:
The KBSH is specifically designed to heat unoccupied rooms to extreme temperatures—up to 160°F—making it ideal for applications that require high heat for sanitation, curing, or specialized processes.
Rugged Stainless-Steel Construction:
The heater is built with 20-gauge type 304 stainless steel, including corrosion-resistant heating elements. Its NEMA 4-rated wiring compartment makes it suitable for dirty, dusty, wet, or corrosive environments, including areas requiring frequent hose-downs.
Versatile Applications in Harsh Environments:
This heater is purpose-built for challenging industrial settings like pharmaceutical labs, food processing plants, paint booths, and other facilities where maintaining high temperatures is paramount. Its durability and performance make it a go-to solution wherever high-temperature control is critical.
