Tempco have been designing and manufacturing Cast In heaters for over three decades, and in that time, have manufactured a countless number of designs for a multitude of industries and applications.

Tempco have at their disposal all the equipment required to meet a growing customer demand, from in house 3D CAD design, pattern making in both wood and plastic, permanent and non-permanent mould manufacture, in house tubular heater and cooling tube manufacture and both gravity and low pressure casting facilities.

Tempco also offer a state of the art machining facility that can cope with cylindrical shapes that have an internal bore diameter of up to 1,230mm and a length 1,016mm, and flat platen sizes of 1,829mm x 1,524mm.

Tempco offer a wide range of materials including 319 and 356 Aluminium, Bronze C95300 and yellow brass, other materials can also be considered dependent on customers’ requirements and the feasibility of the project.  Aluminium can be cast to a weight of 600lb (237kg) or Bronze to a weight of 300lb (143kg) giving Tempco a leading edge over other manufactures, given that its common place that Cast in Heaters are generally manufactured in multiple segments thus giving Tempco the ability to manufacture large finished Cast in Heaters.
