Power is 10kW 50/60Hz for a 240V input. Power is 9kw 50/60Hz for a 208V input.

Flow is ~34SCFM at 500C or ~70SCFM at 500F or ~25CSFM at 900C.

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 male.

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 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 an installed Type “K” thermocouple as a standard. An over-temperature T/C is provided with the unit when supplied with an electrical control panel.

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 plugin for 208V or 220V, or 230V. At 208V, the power is slightly lower.
Power Control: Output temperature may vary by changing the airflow or the output power in the optional control panel.
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.

Such hot air guns find applications in comfort heating, drying, plastic welding, heat shrinking of thermo-plastics, ceramic drying, powder drying, test jigs, on-site heat treatment, plastic forming, and many more. The unique steel shell construction provides for efficient heat recovery and management, which provides hi-temperature discharge at very high efficiency. This recuperating design eliminates radiant heat loss while enhancing efficiency, and maintains a cooler outer shell temperature.
