Mighty-Tuff Band Heaters

Rugged construction along with high temperature and high watt density capabilities allow the Mighty-Tuff Band Heater to surpass all other band heaters in providing the ever increasing temperatures required for processing today's high tech materials. The advanced design and thin profile allow the quick transfer of heat from the element to the sheath for efficient operation to 1400°F sheath temperature. Watt densities as high as 200 watts per square inch on small diameters and 100 watts per square inch on larger diameters are possible. The Mighty-Tuff can stand up to shock, vibration and many contaminants long after standard band heaters have failed. In normal use, or in the most difficult application, the Mighty-Tuff will improve machine productivity by improving band heater performance.

Aluma-Flex Band Heaters

The element utilized in the Aluma-Flex Band Heater is the highly efficient, rugged, long lasting tubular heater pressed in a grooved aluminum extrusion. The combination of the tubular heater in exact contact with the excellent thermal conducting aluminum extrusion create a quick responding band heater with uniform sheath temperatures for precise process heating. With the termination a significant distance from the part being heated and no other place for contaminants to enter, the Aluma-Flex is virtually indestructible. A low expansion alloy strap with mounting hardware allows the assembly to be tightly drawn to the part to be heated. With sheath temperatures to 650°F attainable, the Aluma-Flex Band Heater is ideal for use on barrels of plastic extruders, injection molding machines, dies and die heads of extruders and blow molding equipment, or, within temperature limitations, any cylindrical surface.

Mighty-Miser Insulated Ceramic Band Heaters

Typical applications are plastic molding, extrusion and molding presses. Ceramic band heaters are also used for pipe heating, heat treating and autoclaves or any application where there is a need to apply heat to a cylindrical surface.

Mica Band Heaters

A mica core produces a thin, efficient heater. Heat from the precisely wound Nichrome element is quickly transferred to the working surface for fast heat-up and response. Mica provides excellent dielectric strength and heat transfer capability for long heater life. The mica core is encased in a continuous corrosion resistant sheath and formed. All full mica band heaters are designed with closed ends to protect against contamination. Maximum sheath temperature is 800°F.
