| Band
Clamp to an exterior or interior cylindrical surface.
Applications
Injection molding barrels and nozzles
Blown film dies |
| Cable
Square or round cross sections in different lengths bent and formed to heat flat or curved surfaces, or wound around an object. Cable heaters can also be cast into aluminum and brass parts to create a "heated part."
Applications
Platen heating
Plastic injection molding nozzles
Cast-in heaters |
| Cartridge
Inserted into a close fit hole drilled into the object being heated.
Applications
Platens
Dies
Molds |
| Cast-in
An aluminum or brass casting that incorporates a tubular or cable heating element to form a heated part. Reduces parts count and delivers extremely even heating.
Applications
Custom machinery components
Food service equipment
Semiconductor manufacturing |
| Ceramic Fiber
Stock heater panels assemble into a chamber to surround and heat an object. Made-to-Order heaters can be three dimensionally shaped to fit a specific application. With radiant and convection heat transfer, ceramic fiber heaters are most often used for ovens and furnaces.
Applications
Non-ferrous metal melting
Glass, ceramic and wire processing |
| Flexible
Bonded or vulcanized to the part, flexible heaters form to irregular surfaces and shapes. Distributed wattage capability and low profile extend flexible heater application versatility.
Applications
Food service equipment
Battery heating
Plastic laminate curing |
| Multicell
Loosely inserted into platen holes for radiant heat transfer. Zoned heating capability permits thermal gradients. Can also be used for radiant heating. Well suited for extreme high temperature applications.
Applications
Glass bending and tempering
Super plastic forming and diffusion bonding of titanium and other exotic alloys
High temperature platen heating |
| Radiant
Used in any static or moving application where conduction or convection heating isn't practical. Note: quartz tubes supply quick heat up and cool down.
Applications
Laminating
Thermoforming
Paint drying |
| Strip
Bolted or clamped to a flat surface. Often used for freeze and moisture protection.
Applications
Food warming equipment
Die and mold heating
Packaging equipment |
| Tubular
Clamped to the object being heated, or fitted in grooves milled into a platen.
Applications
Platens
Dies
Molds
