Mica Band Heaters

Mica is an electronic insulator widely used for indirect heating of mangles, tools and attached under tubs, etc.

For contact heating it is essential that proper contact is established between the heater and the solid, for instance using fixing clamps or straps. Poor contact will result in a shortened lifetime and perhaps even overcuring.

Specifications

• thickness under 0,5 mm is flexible
• thickness under 2 mm can be punched and stamped

Shielded mica band heaters are used for e.g. extruders, plastic moulders and tool heating.

The shielding of the mica band heater gives the heaters greater mechanical strength and greater density. The standard shield material is a feran plate, but it can be made in other plate materials, including stainless or galvanized steel, for other purposes.

For shielded Band Heaters, please note that the heater cannot be opened more than 30 percent of the diameter. If the heater cannot be pushed onto the solids, the heater should either be manufactured as two or more parts or designed with a hinge on the opposite side. Holes, cutouts and fittings are made to order.
