Our Story

DBK USA, based in Spartanburg, SC, brings over 75 years of expertise to industrial temperature control. We design and manufacture Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heaters that self-regulate, providing precise and safe heating for applications ranging from medical sample storage and automotive components to food transportation. Our focus is on custom engineering—we work directly with equipment engineers to develop heating solutions that meet specific product design challenges. Unlike standard heating elements, PTC heaters inherently limit their own temperature, reducing risks of overheating and improving energy efficiency. Our Spartanburg facility serves as a resource for engineers across industries, offering specification reviews, sample orders, and direct access to experienced product engineers. We support clients through every stage of product development, ensuring reliability and performance. For local residents and businesses, we understand that water damage often stems from heating system failures, such as a water heater leak or snowmelt infiltration. While our core work is industrial, our engineering knowledge helps diagnose and prevent issues related to temperature control in both commercial and residential settings. DBK USA is committed to providing precise, safe heating solutions backed by decades of hands-on experience, accessible right here in Spartanburg.

Question Answers

Can your PTC heaters be used for damage restoration in a home after a water heater fails or a flood?

While DBK USA focuses on industrial PTC heating solutions, the technology behind our self-regulating heaters is relevant to understanding safe temperature control in any setting. For local Spartanburg residents facing water damage—like from a water heater leak or snowmelt—proper drying and restoration often require controlled, reliable heating to prevent mold and structural issues. Our engineering team can advise on temperature management principles that apply to drying equipment used by restoration professionals. For your home restoration needs, we recommend contacting a local damage restoration service; they can use industrial-grade heaters that operate on similar safe, self-regulating principles to dry out affected areas efficiently.

What makes PTC heaters different from standard industrial heaters for temperature-sensitive applications?

PTC heaters are self-regulating, meaning they automatically adjust their power output to maintain a steady temperature without complex controls. Standard resistive heaters can overheat if a fan fails or airflow is blocked, but a PTC heater increases resistance as temperature rises, reducing current draw to prevent thermal runaway. For applications like maintaining medical sample temperatures or preventing condensation in automotive components, this provides greater safety and reliability. DBK USA engineers help customers select the right PTC profile for their specific heat requirements, ensuring consistent performance even in challenging industrial environments.

How can a local engineer in Spartanburg get custom PTC heater support from DBK USA?

It's straightforward. You can call 864-599-1600 to speak directly with a product engineer—this is not a sales line but a technical support number. Our facility is located near the intersection of I-85 and Highway 290, just a few minutes from the WestGate Mall area. Whether you're developing automotive components near the BMW plant or medical devices in the Spartanburg Biomedical Campus, we can provide sample heaters and custom engineering services. We guide you from specification review through prototyping and production, ensuring your design meets safety and performance standards.
