Nelson™ Heat Trace SMMC-3 Multi-Sensor Snow/Ice Melting Controller
Nelson™ Heat Trace snow melting system is made up of MI (mineral insulated) cable.
It is used for the electric heating of paved surfaces such as sidewalks, driveways and parking ramps is an efficient, economical method of preventing snow and ice accumulation. Heat Trace electrical snow melting systems replace older, less efficient means of snow removal such as heated water or oil circulating systems, plowing or shoveling, and offer an effective alternative to the application of salts and other chemicals which result in pavement damage and environmental pollution.
