Thermon BS: Semi Mica Band Heaters
Stock Code:
SKU: product options

Semi band heaters are used on injection moulding and extrusion machines in the plastics industry where removal or fitting of full band heaters is unpractical.

Split design allows mounting or removal without mechanical stress to the elements.

The EcoBand insulation reduces the overall electricity consumption for this heater band by 15-25%

Band Heaters:
 
 
Heater Bands are primarily used on injection moulding and extrusion machines in the plastic industry.Other applications include packaging machines and general heating of containers, pipes. A distinctive feature of these elements is even heat distribution over a large surface area. Construction consists of heating wire, insulated with either Mica-plates or ceramic formers. The elements are usually metal shrouded for mechanical strength.
 
 
Mica Insulation:
 
Mica insulation offers thin construction (4mm), maximum Watts density of 3.5 W/cm² and operation up to 380°C. For process temperatures in excess of 280°, ceramic insulation is preferred.
 

Ceramic Insulation:

Ceramic elements are thicker in construction (12mm) but offer a Watts density of 5.5 W/cm² and operating temperature up to 600°C. Generally ceramic elements are more durable than mica elements, thus offsetting the higher price with a longer life expectancy.
