APPLICATIONS Ideally suited for plastics industry applications. Mica band heaters can be used for heating commodity resins in injection mold machines, extruders and blow molding machines. Other applications can be found in the food and pharmaceutical industries or any situation in which efficient band heating is required. In addition, Mica bands can be modified to meet the demands of virtually any special applications.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

- Inexpensive

- Thin construction for effective heat transfer

- Available in partial band, reverse band (for application into rolls heating from the inside out)

- Expandable, two pieces, 3 pieces constructions

- Many shapes and sizes, flat, L-shape, U-shape and conical shape. Dual circuits or zones heating

- Zone heating, heat different sections at different time. Many heaters in one.

- Cutout notches and holes

- Different exits for power supply

MATERIAL AND CONSTRUCTION Designs consistently offer maximum resistor coverage. * Ends of heaters incorporate folded-in lips to resist contamination. * All bands are accurately rolled to the specified diameter for optimum contact. * Reliable welded internal termination junction whether screw or lead terminals are specified. * A variety of lead protection systems are available to protect against flexing abrasion and contamination * High quality mica used in all designs. * Stainless steel top and aluminized steel bottom for fast heat transfer * All stainless steel heaters also available. * Compression spring will help to keep heater tight to barrel to prevent hot spot * Cr20Ni80 resistance ribbons is used.

CERAMIC BAND HEATERS Ceramic band heaters are designed for high temperature applications. The heaters can withstand temperature up to 1400°F. Stainless steel cover to withstand high temperature and ceramic fiber insulation to prevent heat loss. An interlocking ceramic are used for flexibility and good thermal conductivity. High quality nickel chromium (Cr20Ni80) elements are used for longer life.
