How to get the best Mica Band Heaters
Mica Band Heaters are our most generally used band heater due to their versatile design and rugged construction characteristics. Mica Bands have sheath temperature capabilities up to 800°F (425°C). Mica Bands are normally employed in Plastics Injection Molding, Extrusion, Blow Molding applications as well as in Commercial Cooking, Electric and Dies Motors.
Mica insulated band heaters can be bought in one or two piece construction and many different diameters and widths. One piece band heaters are made with inside diameters from 1 to 31/2 inches. Two piece band heaters can be bought in diameters from 4 to 111/2 inches. Electrical connections are produced through post terminals or insulated and stainless steel overbraided leads.
Each half of the two piece band heaters are rated 120 Volts, and they are wired in parallel for 120 Volt operation, or maybe in series for 240 Volt operation.
Available options include different terminals and dimensions, special wattage or voltage ratings, flexible conduit and holes or cutouts. Two. Alternatively, more sections can be manufactured to fit larger diameters. Contact Engineering for more information.
When heating objects to higher temperatures, lower Watt density heaters should be utilized to prevent overheating and shortened heater life. Watt density will be the total wattage of your heater divided through the heated surface part of the heater. Use the table above to pick the maximum recommended Watt density for the application. Lower Watt densities can be accomplished by operating 240 Volt heaters on 120 Volts. When operating 240 Volt heaters on 120 Volts, the wattage and Watt density are derated by a factor.
