About ConThermo
ConThermo GmbH & Co. KG, based in Kreuztal (Siegen-Wittgenstein district), designs and manufactures thermal process engineering equipment and systems entirely in-house. The product range includes heating cabinets for 2 to 48 drums or 16 IBC containers (in modular design 16/32 drums with unlimited capacity), industrial ovens such as tempering, drying, chamber and hardening ovens up to 350 °C, melting and heated stirred vessels with direct or indirect thermal oil heating, electric, steam and induction drum heaters, as well as stainless steel immersion heaters. Development is carried out using in-house 3D CAD design; design topics include air flow, temperature distribution and energy-efficient heating technology, including explosion protection (ATEX) with Ex-protected control (temperature classes T2-T4). Control is conventional or via PLC (Siemens S7-1300 with 9" touch panel) including process monitoring and documentation. Customers come from the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries as well as the electrical industry, cosmetics, petrochemicals, automotive supply and railway technology; through distribution partners, ConThermo also serves customers abroad.

Materials and Processes
Steel, galvanized
Housing material for heating cabinets (solid steel frame with steel sheets fastened on both sides and 120 mm mineral wool insulation).
Stainless steel grades
Housing material for heating cabinets, including 1.4404 and 1.4529 for immersion heaters.
Stainless steel 1.4529
Material for immersion heaters with flat or cylindrical base spiral, unregulated 2000/5000 W.
Stainless steel 1.4404
Material for thermostatically controlled immersion heaters 30-110 °C (2000/5000/10000 W).
Aluminium
Housing material for heating cabinets.
Mineral wool (120 mm)
Thermal insulation between the steel sheets of the heating cabinet to prevent thermal bridges.
Thermal oil
Filling of the double jacket for indirect heating of melting vessels without temperature fluctuations at the inner jacket.
Siemens S7-1300 with 9" touch panel
PLC control with extensive monitoring, setting and program functions for heating cabinets and industrial ovens.
