Switching from steam can reduce energy costs by up to 40%! AutoTrace heaters (self-regulating heaters) are ideal for freeze prevention and process heating.
Pioneer of Self-Regulating Heaters The Auto Trace Heater (self-regulating heater) is an electric heat trace developed by the former Raychem Corporation, equipped with self-regulating functionality. It automatically adjusts the heat output according to the surrounding temperature, thereby preventing unnecessary power consumption while ensuring freeze protection and temperature maintenance for pipes and tanks. By switching from steam tracing to electric heat tracing, energy costs can be reduced by up to 40%, making it a popular choice for energy-saving measures in many factories and plants. Additionally, we offer models that have obtained certification for use in explosion-proof areas within Japan, suitable for chemical, petroleum, and gas-related facilities. Furthermore, the self-regulating characteristics reduce the risk of overheating and burnout, achieving high safety and reliability. Its continuous parallel circuit structure allows for cutting to the required length on-site, enhancing ease of installation. With high design flexibility and easy maintenance, it has been widely adopted across various industries as a standard for process insulation and freeze prevention applications. At Techno Kashiwa, we provide total support from product selection to design, construction, and maintenance. If you would like case studies or product samples, please feel free to contact us.

Company information
Our company is an engineering firm specializing in electric heaters. We started by handling Raychem self-regulating heaters for preventing water pipe freezing. Since then, we have accumulated technology and have undertaken numerous projects from design to construction for fields requiring strict temperature control, such as petrochemicals, food factories, and the power generation industry, including process insulation for piping and tanks. In addition to self-regulating electric heaters with a maximum holding temperature of 150°C, we also handle higher temperature power-limited heaters, MI heaters, and sheath heaters. Currently, the mainstream for process insulation in manufacturing sites is steam or hot water, which consumes large amounts of fossil fuels. However, due to environmental issues and unstable energy costs, there is an increasing number of manufacturing professionals focusing on electric heating.
