Description
This 10KW VTA electric heating for Air or process gas can be used with Air, Nitrogen, inert gases, and CO2. Two-body flange model (see picture)
VTA units can be used with blowers. The pressure drop is less than 0.2 psi for up to 750C.
Plug in for any single-phase voltage 208V to 240V (see below for adequate power for each supply).
Stainless steel construction for low distortion.
Model:VTA500-10 (208/220V /230V/240V).
The power is 10kW 50/60Hz for a 240V input and 9kW 50/60Hz for a 208V input.
Flow is ~34SCFM at 500C or ~70SCFM at 500F with 0.2″ psi
or ~25CSFM at 900C with 0. 4″ psi. At above 750C, compressed air flow is preferable.

Airtorch for use with a Blower
Note the top will change in dimensions if the feed troughs option is elected.
Temperature: Maximum 900°C for continuous Air. Typical use output ~ (150 – 900°C). Control temperatures with flow variations. Power can be adjusted on the optional control panel. If a control panel is purchased, flow temperature can be adjusted with flow rate, power, or temperature settings.
Unit Description: Custom VTA Airtorch® Heavy Duty Industrial Air Heater
System Model VTA500 series is a fan or air heater with continuous hot air discharge up to a maximum of 900°C. Outlet 2″ NPT. Inlet 2″ NPT female (see product images). The picture shown may be illustrative only.
Outlet 2″ NPT.
Inlet NPT female.
The unit shown in the photograph fits a 9″ Diameter (at flange) and 22″ Long envelope.
Pictures also show outlet and inlet, power chords, and T/C wires.
Note that the unit is a plugin with a minimum flow at full power.
Lower temperatures are obtained by flowing a higher gas amount or using the HIPAN/XPAN control temperature and power control panel. This panel has a phase angle SCR and current limit features.
Not rated for hot input beyond 60°C. Not rated for wet input.
Note: Parts of the surface are hotter than 50°C. The Airtorch® has a Type “K” thermocouple installed as a standard. When supplied with an electrical control panel, an over-temperature T/C is provided with the unit.

- Rapid heat-up
- Compressed Air/gas compatible
- Inlet gas not to exceed 70°C
- Outlet 2″ NPT.
- Inlet 2″ FNPT.
- 1 Bar use.
- 208-240V 50/60Hz (Single phase). The Wall socket must be able to provide 10 KW to the device. 240V is required for the highest temperature. Please follow local electrical codes.
Specs:
- Air Inlet: Compressed Air or Gas (DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLE GASES) Air Outlet 2″ NPT fitting.
- Weight: Lightweight with a compact, ergonomic design
- Temperature: Maximum 1000°C continuous. MHI controls are recommended if used close to the maximum temperature.
- Voltage: 208/220/230/240VAC Frequency: 50/60 HZ. The picture shown above is the approximate unit. It fits a 9″Diameter envelope (at flange) and a 22″ Long envelope.
- Power Consumption: ~ 10 Kilowatts Output Nominal@240V. It may be used as a plugin for 208V, 220V, or 230V. The power is slightly lower at 208V.
- Power Control: The optional control panel allows you to change the airflow or the output power, varying the output temperature.
- Optional: XPAN™ is required if power and temperature control options are needed. Please contact MHI.
- Flowmeter not included. Fan not included.
- Standard Accessories:
- Display – Not included- optional
- Built-in Thermocouple can be linked for external display.
For users who want power adjustment along with temperature control adjustment or wish to use at a lower than the maximum power, an XPAN Control Panel 208V/220V/240V is recommended. The units plug into the 208/230/240 V plugin as long as the minimum flow of about ~25-28 SCFM is maintained, and the unit flow does not exceed the minimum temperature. Please contact MHI at 513-772-0404 for electrical control panel quotes or use the pull-down menu above.
Generally, when operating close to the maximum rated temperature, it is advisable to use SCR-based controls with a rapid Overtemperature cut-off T/C (thermocouple) and the process T/C. These are available in the XPAN panels. MHI can provide this extra T/C. Please select the options menu.
