APEC Thermal designs and implements industrial heating and thawing systems for some of the most demanding applications in North America.
Our solutions are trusted by Class I railroads throughout the United States and Canada, as well as industrial facilities across a wide range of industries where reliability, efficiency, and performance are critical.
Our electric infrared heaters are available in bottom, diagonal, and side-mounted configurations. Their lightweight, rigid aluminum construction resists rust and reflects infrared energy directly toward the target, providing reliable heat transfer that isn’t affected by wind or harsh conditions. Each unit uses proven, heavy-duty industrial heating elements built for demanding applications.
Read MoreOur gas infrared heaters are available in bottom, diagonal, and side-mounted configurations designed to prevent falling-material buildup. Their industrial burner units feature durable stainless steel housings built for harsh climates and demanding environments. By heating the target directly instead of the surrounding air, infrared technology provides reliable heat transfer that is less affected by wind and changing environmental conditions.
Read MoreOur control equipment—including electrical controls, train-positioning sensors, and temperature monitoring systems—enables fully automatic, operator-free operation. The system runs in the background, automatically cycling the heaters to maximize thawing efficiency while protecting railcars from heat damage.
