Mica band heaters are likely to be utilized when a lower maximum temperature is required. It can accommodate a variety of cutting and drilling arrangements and has many terminal-out methods accessible.
Features of mica band heaters are cooling options, internal diameter, band cutouts, inner diameter, expandable heaters, and insulated shrouds. The mica band heaters are designed to be installed on an internal or external cylindrical surface. Mica band heaters often have a higher watt density, which allows rapid heating and high operating temperatures. In general, it includes sets of clamps which facilitate installation. Heating bands are used for injection of drums and nozzles, extrusion and molding presses, heating of pipes, heat treatment and autoclave, food industry and other applications. It provides fast-acting indirect heat that many industries, especially plastics, find perfect for the requirements.
VIMOSA, the mica band heater manufacturer has designed the heater with a fine nickel and chrome resistant wire wrapped around a sheet of mica, placed between two additional sheets of mica. Mica is used because it offers good thermal conductivity and good dielectric strength. A corrosion-resistant steel outer sheath surrounds a nickel-chrome wire and a mica plate.
