Packaged Air Heaters

Complete Packages — Integrate Burner, Blower & Controls for Industrial Process Heating

Stelter & Brinck's packaged air heaters are factory-assembled direct-fired systems that integrate a burner, process supply blower and control panel. Units are skid-mounted, pre-piped and pre-wired with flame safety controls, process temperature controls, and a motor starter or variable frequency drive.

Sometimes called portable air heaters, our packaged process heaters are directly fired on:

  • Natural Gas
  • Propane
  • Butane

Each unit is test fired and tuned to the specified operating conditions before shipment from our production facility.

These direct-fired packaged air heaters are commonly used as a hot air source for applications including dye and paint manufacturing, mold processing, drying, curing, printing, and other industrial processes requiring heated airflow.
