Vaishnav's Ceramic Band Heaters were developed to meet industrial requirements for high temperature long lasting heaters. They are ideally suited to comply with today's new resins, which calls for ever-increasing process temperatures. An additional advantage of the Ceramic Band Heaters is that they transfer heat through conduction and radiation. This makes their tightness on barrels less critical; thus they are less prone to thermal expansion problems. Theoretically, there are no restrictions on the diameter that ceramic band heaters can attain; however, because these heaters utilize ceramic tiles that are available only in specific lengths, the width of these heaters falls within a certain incremental range of sizes.
Advantages
- Built in insulation minimizes unwanted change in temperature along the barrel
- Heat transfers through radiation, conduction, and convection, so a perfect fit is not required compared to other band heaters
- Heat transfers are not affected by irregular surfaces or a loose fit
- The number of bands used can be reduced with simplified wiring
- The flexible design allows easy install and removal
Applications
- Injection Molding Machine
- Blow Molding Machine
- Extrusion Line
