Chennai has emerged as one of India’s most dynamic manufacturing and engineering centers — a powerhouse that drives industries such as automotive, petrochemical, textile, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. Behind the efficiency of these sectors lies a simple but vital component — the industrial heater.
Among the various types available, tubular heaters stand out as the most versatile, reliable, and widely used solution for industrial and commercial heating needs. In this space, Indian Heat Corporation has established itself as a leading tubular heater manufacturer in Chennai, delivering high-performance heating elements that combine innovation, durability, and affordability.
With years of engineering excellence and a deep understanding of industrial processes, Indian Heat Corporation is powering Chennai’s industries with energy-efficient, long-lasting, and precision-engineered tubular heaters designed to meet every heating challenge.
A tubular heater is an industrial heating element that converts electrical energy into heat for a wide range of applications. Constructed with a resistance wire (usually nickel-chromium alloy) encased in a metallic sheath and insulated with high-purity magnesium oxide (MgO), it offers uniform heat transfer, mechanical strength, and electrical insulation.
Tubular heaters can be bent, shaped, or coiled to fit specific equipment or surfaces, making them the most flexible heating elements available today. They can be used in liquids, gases, and solids — whether heating water in a boiler or air in a furnace.
Chennai’s diverse industrial ecosystem relies on precise temperature control and continuous operation. Tubular heaters provide several benefits that make them the preferred choice for manufacturers:
✅ Uniform heating across surfaces or volumes.
✅ Customizable shapes and wattage for any process.
✅ High energy efficiency with minimal heat loss.
✅ Compact and durable construction.
✅ Easy installation and low maintenance.
From Guindy to Sriperumbudur, Ambattur to Oragadam, industries across Chennai trust Indian Heat Corporation’s tubular heaters for their reliability and long service life.
Indian Heat Corporation designs and manufactures a comprehensive range of tubular heaters, each tailored for specific applications and environments.
Simple and effective, straight tubular heaters are used for direct insertion in ducts, tanks, or equipment.
