300069 - Miller ProHeat Air-Cooled Induction Blanket for 28-Inch Pipe

Miller ProHeat Air-Cooled Induction Blanket (9 in. x 97 in.)

The Miller ProHeat Air-Cooled Induction Blanket, SKU 300069, is a high-performance accessory engineered for the precise preheating of industrial piping and structural components. Designed specifically for use with Miller's ProHeat induction heating systems, this blanket measures 9 inches in width and 97 inches in length, making it the ideal configuration for wrapping 28-inch diameter pipes. Unlike liquid-cooled alternatives, this air-cooled model simplifies job site logistics by eliminating the need for coolant lines, chillers, and complex plumbing setups, thereby reducing installation time and operational costs.

Technically, the blanket is rated for preheating applications up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius). It boasts an impressive operation efficiency of over 90 percent, ensuring that the majority of the energy generated is transferred directly to the workpiece as heat. This efficiency is critical for maintaining project schedules in demanding environments such as refineries, power plants, and shipbuilding facilities. The unit is constructed to handle both thin-wall and heavy-wall part applications, providing versatility across different welding procedures.

Durability is a key focus of the design. Each blanket is shipped with a replaceable Kevlar sleeve. This protective outer layer guards the induction coils against the rigors of the industrial workspace, including abrasions, cuts, and tears that can occur during setup and breakdown. By protecting the core heating element, the Kevlar sleeve extends the service life of the blanket and ensures consistent performance over time. This product represents a significant upgrade for operators looking to streamline their preheating processes while maintaining strict temperature control and adherence to welding code specifications.
