Heating Mantle | ATEX Heating Mantles For Industrial & Hazardous Areas | EL-SHS
ATEX Heating Mantle | Eltherm EL-SHS
The Eltherm Heating Mats & Jackets range includes the Eltherm Heating Mantle EL-SHS , designed heating scenarios where two our more levels of surface heating is required. The metal EL-SHS Heating Mantles are custom-made for industrial use, ensuring optimum heating at ambient temperatures from -25 °C to +55 °C maintaining efficient heat distribution. Additionally, these Eltherm Heating Mantles can be tailored and prepared to be suitable for harsh industrial and hazardous areas, available with ATEX certification.
The Heating Mantle EL-SHS is manufactured for convenience and reliability, equipped with handles used to mount, remove and transport the Heating Mantle halves with ease, as well as highly practical draw latches for reliable latching. Ultimately, these features significantly reduce installation time and maintenance long-term, enhancing cost-efficiency.

Eltherm Heated Mantle Applications
The EL-SHS Self Regulating Heating Mantle is used for a number of applications across a range of industries, including Oil & Gas, for pipeline components in outdoor or offshore environments, Chemical & Petrochemical, for hazardous chemical transfer where constant temperatures are vital, Food & Beverage, to prevent thickening or clogging in syrup or fat pipelines and Pharmaceutical, for sterile or temperature-sensitive fluid transfer.
- Frost Protection | In outdoor or uninsulated areas, water or process fluids in pipes, tanks, or valves can freeze during cold weather, leading to blockages, burst pipes, or downtime.
- Temperature Maintenance | Used for many fluids — such as oils, greases, food products, or chemicals — must be kept at specific temperatures to remain pumpable, reactive, or safe.
- Valves & Pumps | Valves and pumps often act as thermal “cold spots” where fluid flow slows or gets obstructed.
- Individually to Customer Specification | No two industrial systems are identical — pipes vary in diameter, pumps have different geometries, and access may be restricted.
- Heat Exchangers | Heat exchangers transfer thermal energy between fluids, but unheated external components (like end caps or flanges) can become cold bridges.
- Fittings | Tees, elbows, flanges, and other pipe fittings are hard to heat evenly with standard heat trace cable.
