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.
