301088 - Miller ProHeat Air-Cooled Induction Blanket for 48-inch Pipe

Miller ProHeat Narrow Air-Cooled Induction Blanket (301088)

The Miller ProHeat Narrow Air-Cooled Induction Blanket is a specialized accessory designed to enhance the efficiency and flexibility of your induction heating processes. Engineered for use with the Miller ProHeat system, this blanket (Model 301088) measures 4.5 inches by 160 inches, making it perfectly sized for 48-inch diameter pipe applications. Unlike liquid-cooled alternatives, this air-cooled blanket simplifies setup and reduces installation costs by eliminating the need for water cooling equipment, hoses, and coolant management. This makes it an ideal solution for field applications where portability and simplicity are paramount.

Rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, this induction blanket delivers consistent and reliable preheating for welding operations. It boasts an impressive operational efficiency of over 90 percent, ensuring that energy is effectively transferred to the workpiece rather than being lost as waste heat. This high efficiency translates to faster time-to-temperature and reduced energy consumption, which is critical for large-scale industrial projects in sectors like pipeline construction and shipbuilding.

Durability is a key feature of the Miller 301088. The blanket comes equipped with a replaceable Kevlar sleeve that provides robust protection against the harsh realities of industrial environments. This sleeve guards the internal components against abrasions, cuts, and tears that can occur during handling and positioning on rough metal surfaces. Whether you are working on thin-walled piping or heavy-wall pressure vessels, the flexible design of the blanket ensures optimal contact and uniform heating, contributing to higher quality welds and reduced risk of cracking.

Backed by Miller's 3-month warranty, this induction blanket is a reliable investment for professionals demanding precision and durability. It is specifically suited for industries such as refineries, power plants, and structural welding where preheating is a critical step in the fabrication process. By maintaining the correct preheat temperature, operators can ensure compliance with welding codes and standards while improving the mechanical properties of the finished weld.
