MICA
BAND HEATERS
Ideal for temperatures up to 400 degrees C, and for clamping
around cylinders, dies, and containers etc. Mica bands can
incorporate clearance holes, may have a built in thermostat
or sensor, and may have various types of termination such
as plug sockets or simple flexible leads.
FLAT
MICA HEATERS
Constructed in the same way as mica band heaters, the flat
versions may be clamped to flat surfaces such as extrusion
dies or steel tanks etc. A clamping plate can be provided
to ensure good contact, and as with band heaters holes can
be incorporated to clear any projections. Various terminations
available as required.
CERAMIC
KNUCKLE TYPES
Ceramic knuckle heaters are made from interlocking ceramic
pieces and are therefore flexible. They will operate at temperatures
up to 550 degrees C if required, and can be supplied as bands
or in flat form. Clearance holes and various terminations
can be provided as required.
CERAMIC
INFRA-RED
The solid ceramic types as shown are available in two sizes
(245 x 60 and 123 x 60) and are commonly used in plastics
vacuum forming. Other forms of infra-red heaters including
quartz tubes and metal sheathed types are also supplied to
suit the application.
CARTRIDGE
HEATERS
Cartridge heaters are normally supplied in stainless steel,
and are designed to fit into an accurately reamed hole. Often
used in plastic mould tools and dies, they can provide a heat
source deep within the mass which is to be heated. Imperial
and metric diameters are available, and the flexible leads
can be straight, angled, and/or protected in metal sheathing.
CAST
ALUMINIUM HEATERS
Cast heaters are very robust clamp on types. Made by casting
metal tubular elements into solid aluminium, they are then
machined to give a good contact surface. They can incorporate
cooling fins or cast in cooling tubes for liquid cooling,
and are commonly used in this form on plastics extrusion machinery.
IMMERSION
HEATERS
We supply immersion heaters for a wide range of industrial
applications, both threaded and flanged types, in various
sheath materials to suit the product being heated. Heaters
may be single or 3 phase, may incorporate thermostats, and
can have terminal covers which may be IP rated. Complete flow
heaters in a housing with inlet and outlet can be made to
order.
FLEXIBLE
SILICONE RUBBER & ETCHED FOIL HEATERS
These heating elements have the advantage of being flexible
and moisture proof.
They are ideal for low temperature applications up to approx.
200 degrees C, and can be made in various shapes with holes
etc. if required. Thermal fuses or thermostats may be incorporated,
and heaters can be supplied in self adhesive form or even
bonded to a metal heatsink.
DRUM
HEATERS FOR STANDARD 45GAL./200 LITRE DRUMS ETC.
We supply flexible silicone rubber drum heaters as shown,
and also heavy duty metal hinged versions, both of which have
an integral thermostat and rubber mains lead.
A fabricated steel base heater is available for applications
which require the drum to be heated from the bottom. Special
drum type heaters can be made to fit other sizes of cylindrical
containers.
TUBULAR
ROD ELEMENTS
Metal sheathed tubular rod elements are used for numerous
applications at temperatures up to approx. 600 degrees C.
We supply elements in various sheath materials including Incoloy,
Stainless Steel, Copper and Mild Steel. Straight lengths or
formed elements can be supplied, with fittings and terminations
as required.
THERMOCOUPLES
AND RESISTANCE THERMOMETERS
"J" type "K" type and PT-100 are the most
common temperature sensors which we supply, but other forms
can also be produced to order. Virtually any size and configuration
is possible, from mineral insulated thermocouples of 0.5mm
diameter through to very large furnace probes etc. Suitable
plugs and sockets can be fitted or supplied separately. Contact
us to discuss your requirements.
COMPLETE
CONTROL PANELS
We are often asked to supply control panels as part of a complete
"package" of heating equipment. Any unit from small
single zone to large multi zone (as shown) can be supplied
to be used in conjunction with our heating equipment.
HIGH
TEMPERATURE PLUGS & CABLES
Two pin scraping earth plugs in rubber or die-cast/ceramic,
and 3 pin plugs in plastic/ceramic, together with silicone
rubber cables to suit. High temperature nickel core cables
and sleevings also available.
HEATED
HOSES
For hot-melt adhesives and foodstuffs etc. Temperature range,
pressure requirements, and end fittings can be varied according
to the demands of the particular application.
