Ceramic Insulated Band Heaters can meet the demand for energy conservation & operation efficiency. They are capable of generating higher temperatures essential to process today’s resins. Electrical energy savings are achieved by using a 1/4" thick ceramic fiber insulating blanket, reducing power consumption by 25 to 30%. 

A helically wound resistance coil made from nickel-chrome wire is precisely strung through specially designed ceramic insulating bricks, forming a flexible heating mat.

These heaters transmit heat through both conduction & radiation. The element winding is designed to heat the ceramic blocks to the point at which they radiate energy into the barrel as well as conduct energy by being in contact with the barrel - fit is not as critical as in other types of bands.

New Ceramic Band Heater enhancements include:

• New ceramic material has excellent dielectric strength at high temperatures and high voltages
• Interlocking ceramic blocks provide a more rigid structure.
• Reduces the chances of damaging internal coils in transit and handling
• Allows for easier installation of the heater onto the pipe
• Heater widths can now vary in 1/8” increments
