Electric Infrared Heaters
Rail Car Thawers
Extremely rugged, weatherproof rail car thawing components with low initial cost, minimal maintenance, and economical operation — sized for small yards and large industrial facilities alike.
Why Electric Infrared
Faster Thawing, Lower Cost Per Ton
Heat From Underneath & Sides
Simultaneous heating from beneath the car and from the sides thaws material faster than single-direction methods.
Shorter Thawing Shed
Can reduce the required thawing shed length by approximately 25% compared to gas-fired systems.
Clean Installation
Can be installed directly beneath cars without fouling from dirt, dust, or coal.
Electric infrared outperforms older open-flame methods (unsafe and inefficient) and gas/oil convection systems (significantly less efficient than a well-designed electric infrared system) — all engineered around the lowest achievable cost per ton thawed.
