Nexatherm® heating systems provide reliable prevention of slips and falls by eliminating snow and ice, without the costs and negative corrosive effects of traditional methods.
Nexatherm® is a controlled heating distribution panel for frost, ice and snow melting applications. This innovative product can be incorporated into Armor-Deck®’s structural composite platforms, bridges, ramps and stairs for new projects or installed over existing concrete.
The system activates automatically during periods of snow, frost and ice. There is no need for the traditional costly winter-time idling because the surface heats up in minutes, not hours. Nexatherm® extends the life of transit platforms by eliminating the use of salt or other de-icing chemicals and the physical damage from winter service vehicles. Not only does Nexatherm® eliminate labor intensive snow removal and repair costs but provides a safe, clean and dry walking surface without disruptions to passengers.
Since the Nexatherm® system is activated only for short periods during snow falls, the energy consumption is very low. The housing and maintenance for pumps, boilers and valves used in hydronic systems are not required with the Nexatherm® system. Additionally, the system operates automatically through the snow and temperature sensors without any manual input necessary. Cameras and temperature sensors can be monitored on your web enabled devices, and the system can be turned on and off remotely as well.
