Bands, Clads & Cartridge Heaters

This range of heater elements are specifically designed and manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes for application in the plastic industry for barrel and mould heating on plastic injection moulding and plastic blow moulding machines. Band heaters primarily supply heat to the machine barrel that in turn melts the plastic pellets within the barrel. Secondary band, clad and cartridge heaters are applied to keep the plastic in a molten state for the purpose of moulding.

Mica Band Heater

Designed as a circular barrel heating unit, these heaters are custom manufactured to suit the machine barrel or mould diameter in widths to suit the specific application. The heaters are mica insulated, steel cladded, and suitable for application temperatures up to 250° Celsius rated between 2-3Watt/Cm² at the applied voltage. Various termination options are available, and our sales team will gladly assist with the application suitability of these heaters.

Mica Clad Heater

Designed in either a square or rectangular shape for flat heating applications these heaters are custom manufactured to suit the machine mould length and width specific. The heaters are mica insulated, steel cladded, and suitable for application temperatures up to 250° Celsius rated between 2-3Watt/Cm² at the applied voltage. Various termination options are available, and our sales team will gladly assist with the application suitability of these heaters.

Ceramic Band Heater

Designed as a circular barrel heating unit, these heaters are custom manufactured to suit the machine barrel or mould diameter in widths. The heaters are ceramic insulated, steel cladded, and suitable for temperatures up to 350° Celsius rated between 3-5Watt/Cm² at the applied voltage. Various termination options are available, and our sales team will gladly assist with the application suitability of these heaters.

CARTRIDGE HEATER

The cartridge heater is a high watt’s density heating unit manufactured for a range of heating processes. The heater is steel encased and supplied at various diameters and lengths generally with termination on one end. Although a standard range of these heaters is available, custom heaters and custom termination can be provided. Our technical team will gladly assist with application suitability for the standard or custom manufactured heaters.
