300087 - Miller ProHeat Air-Cooled Induction Blanket 7.5x135 for 40-inch Pipe

Advanced Preheating for Large Diameter Pipes

The Miller ProHeat Air-Cooled Induction Blanket (SKU: 300087) represents a significant leap forward in welding preparation technology. Designed specifically for large-scale industrial applications, this blanket is sized at 7.5 inches by 135 inches, making it the perfect fit for 40-inch diameter pipes. Whether you are working on a pipeline project or structural fabrication, ensuring the correct preheat temperature is critical for weld integrity. This induction blanket simplifies that process by delivering consistent, uniform heat without the open flames or safety hazards associated with traditional heating methods.

One of the standout features of this model is its air-cooled design. Unlike liquid-cooled systems that require cumbersome water lines, chillers, and extra maintenance, this blanket operates efficiently using air cooling. This not only lowers your initial installation costs but also provides greater flexibility on the job site. You can move equipment more freely and set up faster, which is a massive advantage in dynamic working environments like shipyards or construction sites. The blanket is rated for temperatures up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, covering a wide range of preheating requirements for standard steels and alloys.

Durability is a key concern in heavy industry, and Miller has addressed this by including a replaceable Kevlar sleeve with every blanket. This sleeve acts as a robust shield, protecting the induction coil from abrasion, cuts, and tears that can occur when wrapping the blanket around rough pipe surfaces. With an operating efficiency of over 90%, the Miller ProHeat blanket ensures that energy is transferred directly to the workpiece, minimizing waste and speeding up your time to temperature. It is an essential tool for professionals demanding quality, safety, and efficiency in their welding operations.

Key Benefits for the Operator

Using the Miller 300087 blanket transforms the preheating experience. The flexibility of the blanket allows it to conform perfectly to the pipe's surface, ensuring no cold spots and reducing the risk of hydrogen cracking. The setup is intuitive and integrates seamlessly with Miller's ProHeat power sources. By removing the need for water cooling, you also remove the risk of leaks and the hassle of coolant management. This is a professional-grade accessory built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use while delivering precise thermal control.
