Band Heaters
These rugged heaters are designed for plastics processing machinery. They are made from stainless steel which makes them resistant to molten plastic, oil etc. They have a smooth contact area without voids which gives them excellent thermal exchange. The flexible leads are resistant to being pulled off. We can also supply a leaf thermocouple which can be positioned between the barrel and heater for simple measurement and control of the application.
