St. Louis, MO – Watlow®, an industry leader in the design and manufacture of complete thermal systems, recently announced its FAST TRACK™ program. FAST TRACK allows made-to-order FIREROD® cartridge heaters to be shipped in either two days or five days.
Watlow understands that its customers’ applications are unique, and the FAST TRACK program provides a variety of options to fit different heating requirements. Customers choose the diameter, length, voltage, wattage and termination style from a broad set of options, and then choose when they want it – either a two-day or five-day lead time. Part numbers for specific configurations can be issued in real time. Lead times for FIRERODs ordered through FAST TRACK do not fluctuate with Watlow’s demand.
"With Watlow's FAST TRACK program, our customers can purchase a made-to-order heater, not just a modified stock heater, and it can be shipped in two days or five days. They can receive the heater they want, when they want it," said Andy Selvy, product manager. "This program is just another example of how Watlow is providing greater value to its customers."
Watlow introduced the FIREROD cartridge heater in 1954, which revolutionized the heating element industry. The company has continued to meet customers’ most challenging thermal needs with ongoing research and technological improvements; solving the toughest heating problems through quality products, specialized engineering and fast delivery.
