Heaters
 |
Specification:-
High, medium, & low watt density heaters in 40 metric
& imperial diameters,
and square section profiles. Available with distributed
wattage, unheated sections, built in
thermocouples, and many variations of lead style.
Application:- Localised heating of dies,
moulds, platens, and metal parts generally, in process
& packaging machinery. Also available as immersion
types to heat liquids & gases where space
is limited. |
|
Band Heaters
 |
Specification:-
Available with mica, ceramic, knuckle ceramic, or MgO
insulation, in a wide
variety of formats. Casings of treated or stainless steel,
brass, or extruded aluminium. Many termination types,
and almost unlimited diameter and width options. Can have
holes, cutouts,
multiple circuits, and may be hinged, jacketed, insulated,
guarded, segmented, or hermetically
sealed.
Application :- Heating of cylindrical
or curved surfaces, in moulding, extrusion, packaging,
printing, catering, & general process machinery. |
|
|
Strip, Ring & Plate Heaters

|
Specification:-
Made in several formats, using mica, ceramic,
knuckle ceramic, or MgO
insulation, with terminals, leads, enclosed, or socket
type termination. Mica & ceramic type
can be made in any irregular flat shape. May be unsheathed,
or clad in treated, mild,
aluminised, or stainless steel. EEx rated versions are
available, as well as finned models for
air & gas heating.
Application :- Heating of flat surfaces,
external heating of tanks & vessels, & heating
of air
& gases in ducts, ovens, cabinets, etc. Used in plastics,
rubber, & fibre machinery, as well as
food processing, catering, & process equipment. |
|
Cast In Heaters & Coolers
 |
Specification:-
Formed sheathed wire elements cast into aluminium
or aluminium bronze,
in any shape or size. The contact surfaces are accurately
machined to give perfect fit and
even heat dissipation over the entire component. Available
with built in liquid coolant pipes
and/or fins for air cooling. We can also supply cooling
or insulating cowls, and blower units
to match.
Application :- Surface heating or cooling
of extruder barrels, dies, pipes, or any metal part.
The construction of these heaters provides contaminant
resistance, accurate
heating/cooling, and long service life. Cast heaters can
be made to form self heating
machine components. |
|
Rod Elements

|
Specification:-
Resistance coils evenly stretched & centred
in a metal sheath, filled with
MgO, and heavily compacted.
Available in 10 round, square, & flat section sizes,
in various sheath materials, such as copper,
incoloy, mild steel, stainless steel, & titanium.
Can be fitted with fins, bushings, ferrules,
headplates, glands, brackets, leads, boxes, & many
termination options.
Application :- This most versatile of
elements has almost unlimited uses in heating air &
gases, liquids, solids, & vessels, as well as in infra-red
applications. Because it can be formed
to extremely complex shapes, and grouped to give high
power outputs, it is the most widely
used element type, and can be found in practically every
industry, either alone, or assembled
into appliances or machines. |
|
Coil & Cable Heaters
 |
Specification:-
Available in 9 round, square, and flat section
profiles, coiled, straight, or
formed to almost any shape. Can have built in thermocouples
for close temperature control,
and clamping bands to minimise expansion. Also available
cast in copper or brass, with an
accurately machined bore, in heat only, cool only, or
heat & cool formats.
Application :- Mostly used in plastic
injection moulding nozzles, runnerless moulding
torpedoes, and sprue bushings, but equally efficient in
heating any small metal parts at high temperatures and
in arduous conditions. |
|
Ceramic Core Elements
 |
Specification:-
Spirals of resistance wire threaded through linked
ceramic formers, available
in seven diameters. Unheated length, overall length, voltage
& wattage according to requirement.
Single phase, three phase, or multi circuit options, with
various termination types and connection heads. Horizontal
or vertical mounting types available.
Application :- Used on heating liquids
& gases by insertion into a correctly sized thick
wall tube.
The main benefit being that the core can be withdrawn
and replaced without having to drain
the tank or process system in which they are fitted. |
|
Resistance Coils, Wire,
Ribbon & Tape

|
Specification:-
Nickel - chromium and iron - chromium - aluminium
resistance alloys, in wire,
strip, and ribbon form, either straight, or coiled to
diameter,length, & resistance requirements.
Tape is available as flat form, tapered edge, concave,
beaded, wave form, & T - shaped, and
can have coppered ends, eye-lugs, or screw connections.
Application :- Open wire spirals form
the heating element in many machines & appliances,
and are often replaceable. Ribbon and tape is widely used
in sealing, packaging, shrink
wrapping, and vacuum packing. |
|
Furnace Elements

|
Specification:-
Made from bonded silicon carbide, normally with
a central heated zone, and
an unheated portion at each end. Also made in U form,
and multi leg styles. For use at
temperatures of up to 1900 deg.c. Available in a range
of diameters, and in lengths of up to 2.45 metres.
Application :- Used for drying, baking,
firing, annealing, hardening, and melting in kilns,
furnaces, and ovens, in high temperature processes, and
in laboratory and test furnaces.
Found in many industries, including ceramics, glassware,
porcelain, cement & refractories,
iron & steel, and metal processing |
|
