ALPER is an innovative and dynamic company. In over 30 years of experience in manufacturing ultra-thin PET and Carbon Ink Film Resistances, ALPER have experienced in very transversal sectors, spacing between automotive till perfecting in the household appliances, knowing the needs and the priorities of the clients.
ALPER offers to the industry the best solution for a “soft” warming surface heating, temperatures up to about 90°C continuously. These heating elements are produced with the ALPER know-how using the additive screen-printing process, which consists in printing a special carbon paste on a PET support in different layouts. This means that the production process of ALPER Printed Heaters is environmentally friendly, as it does not involve any production waste that is harmful to humans and the environment.
The ALPER polyester resistances are extremely thin, starts from about 0.2 mm. In the household appliances sector, where the aesthetic is very important, ALPER technologies “hide” in the closest spaces without loose in efficiency. Carbon PET Resistances are used as cup warmers for coffee machines, as anticondensation system for kitchen cooker hoods, hot tops (food warming and leavening), yoghurt and chocolate making appliances, antifreeze resistances for freezer doors, etc.
The continuous search for new carbon resistive mixtures allows ALPER to make the production process very flexible, managing to produce practically any type of voltage and wattage combination required on the same surface. This allows the company to satisfy every need in terms of ultra-thin electric heaters. In addition, the carbon technology allows to make changes of about + or -20% of the resistive levels without changing in layout and therefore saving on the cost of equipment. ALPER Printed Heaters are subjected to all the tests and controls imposed by European standards. They have recently obtained UL approval for United States and Canada market.
