301089 - Miller ProHeat Air-Cooled Induction Blanket 4.5x184 for 56-inch Pipe

High-Efficiency Induction Heating for Industrial Applications

The Miller ProHeat Narrow Air-Cooled Induction Blanket (SKU: 301089) is a specialized accessory designed to enhance the capabilities of Miller's ProHeat induction heating systems. Engineered for industrial environments such as refineries, power plants, and pipeline construction, this blanket provides a reliable solution for preheating applications without the logistical complexity of liquid cooling. Measuring 4.5 inches by 184 inches, it is specifically sized to accommodate 56-inch pipe diameters, ensuring a precise fit and optimal magnetic coupling for maximum heating efficiency.

One of the primary technical advantages of this unit is its air-cooled design. By eliminating the need for water cooling lines and chillers, operators can reduce the overall footprint of their heating setup and lower installation costs. Despite being air-cooled, the blanket is rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for a wide range of preheat cycles required in code welding. The unit boasts an operational efficiency of over 90 percent, delivering consistent thermal energy to the workpiece whether dealing with thin-walled tubing or heavy-wall pressure vessels.

Durability is a critical factor in MRO and fabrication settings. To address this, Miller includes a replaceable Kevlar sleeve with the blanket. This sleeve acts as a robust barrier against the abrasions, cuts, and tears that frequently occur during setup and teardown in rough environments. This protective layer not only extends the service life of the induction coil but also ensures safe operation by maintaining the integrity of the insulation. For procurement specialists seeking to maintain high standards in welding preparation equipment, the Miller 301089 offers a blend of performance, longevity, and operational simplicity.
