 Concealed Heating System Top
Concealed "under-floor" heaters enable manufacturers to produce kettles with high power (up to 3100W), fast boil elements. Being concealed, these elements are less prone to build up of lime scale, are easier to clean and more aesthetically pleasing.

Please contact STRIX for a list of compatible manufacturers.
Concealed Heating System
 Concealed Heating System (Two Powers) Top
Two power heaters allow for a new generation of Keep Warm appliances. The heater has two separately sheathed elements (up to a total of 3100W). It provides all of the same advantages as for the original Concealed Heating System but with the added advantage of a Keep Warm Function.

Please contact STRIX for a list of compatible manufacturers.
Two Powers Concealed
 Corded Top
The power supply to the appliance can be provided either by a fixed cord or by a removable IEC cord (Immersed appliances only). Corded appliances provide a cost effective solution but do not provide the added functionality of a Cordless appliance.

 Cordless Top
Cordless appliances offer a number of advantages over Corded ones. Power cords can be kept shorter and the appliance can simply be picked up and replaced on the base during use. The standard cordless system is used with Immersed Heater Systems.
Cordless
 Cordless (360°) Top
Cordless appliances offer a number of advantages over Corded ones. Power cords can be kept shorter and the appliance can simply be picked up and replaced on the base during use. The 360° interface which allows for the appliance to be placed on its base in any orientation and is used in appliances with Concealed Heater Systems.
360° Cordless
 Illumination Top
Utilising the STRIX U1880 series of controls appliances can be developed for water heating applications which allow the Illumination of the water with high power neons of various colours. The effect can be enhanced by using two or three different neons of different coulours to indicate different stages of the applications process. For more information on Illumination please see the Applications page, or contact STRIX.

 Immersed Heating System Top
The worlds most popular heating element provides a cost effective solution. The heater is Immersed in the water and comes in two layouts (Spiral and Butterfly).

Please contact STRIX for a list of compatible manufacturers.
Spiral    Butterfly
 Keep Warm Function Top
The Keep Warm Function utilises the Two Power Concealed Heating System to enable the user to keep the temperature of the liquid in the appliance at just below boiling point. For coffee brewing this ensures that the coffee is maintained at the optimum temperature whilst in water boiling applications water can be re-boiled in seconds. For more information on the Keep Warm function please see the Applications page, or contact STRIX.

 Lift Off Reset (LOR) Top
Fitted to the STRIX U17 series of controls LOR provides non-cycling dry boil protection. After a dry boil situation the appliance must be removed and replaced on it's cordless base before the appliance can be switched back on.

 Lift Off Switch Off (LOSO) Top
Controls fitted with a LOSO provide the added safety of switching the appliance off as soon as it is removed from it's cordless base. This ensures that if an empty appliance is placed back on it's base a potential boil dry situation is avoided.

 Trip-Free Design Top
The STRIX U12 and STRIX U18 series of controls incorporate a Trip-Free design. This ensures that if the controls trip lever or actuator is prevented from moving to the Off position the dry boil protection can still operate.
