Additional Details
his heaters are used for plastic molding, extrusion and molding presses or any application where there is a need to apply heat to a cylindrical surface. They are very energy efficicient since they have a standard 1/4in thick insulation. A 1/2in thick insulation is optional. Up to 18in diameter it can be a 1 piece construction, greater than that we recommand a 2-piece construction. Ceramic Band heaters can be manufactured in widths much greater than what is practical in Mica Band heaters, eliminating heat losses between gaps in narrow band heaters and simplyfying installation. With SCR or SSR power control output, watt densities can be increased up to 30%.
