Electric band heater

Ceramic band heaters are medium-to-high temperature heaters that have 648°C as a maximum working temperature. These durable heaters can have optional in-built ceramic fiber jackets that make them energy efficient. Ceramic band heaters are available with different terminal styles, are fully flexible, and can accommodate holes and cut-outs. In a ceramic band heater, a nickel-chrome wire is embedded in a flexible outer wall made of special, interlocking ceramic tiles (KNUCKLES), which are assembled like a brick wall. A ceramic fiber insulating mat and a stainless Steel/Aluminized Steel jacket cover this assembly. This construction prevents heat loss and reduces electrical consumption by 20%. Ceramic band heaters can be manufactured with different clamping mechanisms, terminations styles, holes and cut-outs, perforations. The element winding is designed to heat the ceramic blocks to the point at which they radiate energy into the barrel as well as to conduct energy by being in contact with the barrel - fit is not as critical as in other types of bands.
