Does anyone know where I can find these? I remember seeing them back in the day, they were usually orange and made of silicone I believe. People were using them to heat their material columns..

I'd really like to find some.. I'm loosing over 1# a run

Keenovo has a website:

They also do custom orders at eBay.


The mats are ordered by watts per square inch, if you order too powerful a heater any area that's not fully sunk to what your trying to heat could overheat and burn out the mat. Check out the attached graph, the mats are good up to 450F, a 2.5 watt per square inch can't overheat, a 5 watt per square inch is borderline.

The wire wounds are thick and stiff, I suggest the etched film silicone heaters.

Study up before ordering:

You don't find silicone heaters for material column heating available at the extraction equipment vendors because they don't want to take responsibility for misuse.
