An insight into our range of products

Heating plates
Our heating plates are suitable for various heating processes up to 300°C (limitation at 350°C) in laboratories and workshops.
Flow heaters
Flow heaters for hot water central heating systems can be used as direct heaters, for heating storage water in separate tanks or in combination with other types of energy such as heat pumps, solar energy, etc. Several models are also available for heating process water as well as water and oil.
Anti-freeze heaters
The anti-freeze heater made of stainless steel is especially suitable as a frost protection appliance, for heating control boxes and for room temperature control. The splash-proof design (IP 65) means that the anti-freeze heater can be used in wet areas such as laundry rooms, sewage treatment facilities and slaughterhouses.
Reinforced convectors
Backer ELC reinforced convectors are indestructible direct heaters made of chrome-nickel steel sheet (1.4404). With their combined radiant and convection heating, they are ideal both for temperature control in between seasons and for continuous heating of exposed spaces.
Immersion heaters
Our immersion heaters are made of stainless steel and can be used to directly heat water.
Screw-in heaters
Screw-in heaters are used for heating liquid and gaseous media. U-shaped curved round heating rods made of high-alloy stainless steels, soldered or welded into threaded nipples or flanges are also supplied with temperature control.
Braude fluoropolymer immersion heaters
Braude fluoropolymer immersion heaters are designed for use in applications where aggressive chemicals have to be heated to temperatures of up to 100 degrees. All heaters feature optimum resistance to chemical corrosion and are therefore perfectly suited for use in the chemical and process industries, e.g. for heating electroplating baths.
BLUE WIRE overhead line heating systems
BLUE WIRE The system that protects against costly travel disruptions due to ice and frost accumulations on overhead lines.
Ice on overhead lines causes a loss of speed in trains and trams and can lead to a total breakdown on the track. The painstaking manual removal of ice incrustation costs time and manpower and puts strain on the contact wires on the overhead lines.
Therefore, we have the right solution for you: Backer ELC AG now sells the BLUE WIRE complete system. It features everything from weather detection, weather forecasting, heating wire for overhead lines to mounting clips, control unit and monitoring software.
Point heating systems
The POINT PLATE HEATING add-on system ensures the smooth flow of traffic at strategically important points. Ice blocks are melted in just a few minutes.
Melt more deposited snow, ice and ice blocks on the points using the POINT PLATE HEATING SYSTEM. The existing system is improved by the POINT PLATE HEATING SYSTEM. All important components can be found in the cast aluminium block. Connection terminal installed behind a 4 mm stainless steel cover. Service life 20 years.
