Mosebach Introduces Hotbox Powerful Compact Heater


- Advanced Heater Design Provides Industrial Strength Power -

PITTSBURGH, PA, December 29, 2003 -- Mosebach Manufacturing Company, a leading designer and manufacturer of resistors and high power resistor assemblies for locomotives and off-road mining equipment, has introduced HotBox, a unique compact, portable industrial heater capable of delivering up to 136,520 BTUs of heat.

Made of rugged, fire-resistant plastic and approximately the size of a typical piece of carry-on luggage or medium-sized tool box (28 in. x 18 in. x 15 in.), HotBox combines an advanced heating element design based on Mosebach resistor grid technology with a high velocity centrifugal blower to provide quick, efficient heating.

Designed for the shop, construction site, warehouse and other commercial applications, HotBox's features include:

-- Single and Three Phase 240-volt power providing up to 51,195 BtuH heat.

-- Three Phase 240-volt, 480-volt and 600-volt power providing up to 136,520 BtuH heat.

-- Light weight, rugged fire-resistant case design - 9.6 and 15 kW units weigh 55lbs; 30kW and 40 kW units weigh 65 lbs.

-- HotBox arrives completely assembled and wired, with a cord and plug.

-- A quiet, high velocity fan that circulates air faster and throws air farther to provide quick heat.

-- Rubber wheels roll easily on rough surfaces.

-- Retractable handle for easy pulling.

The HotBox is currently available in 240V 1 and 3 phase configurations; 480-volt and 600-volt 3 phase configurations. For more information about HotBox, call 1-866-629-4328, email heaters@mosebachresistors.com, fax 1-866-838-4328 or visit www.mosebachresistors.com.
