Band heaters are designed for use in different applications:
- Ceramic band heaters: with an heating spiral manufactured from NiCr and steatite insulated, these heating elements are sheathed by an Alusi or stainless steel jacket. Increased insulation is achieved through a layer of mineral fibre. Max. operating temperature: 600°c and max. surface load 8W/cm². Especially designed for plastics injection moulding and extrusion where high temperature is required.
Led by the high performance MI (mineral insulated) Band heater, the patented, flexible THINBAND® heater and the standard mica band heater for specialized constructions, Watlow's band and nozzle heaters are ideal for every type of plastics processing equipment.
