OVERVIEW
Band heaters from WATTCO™ are the ideal solution for high watt densities and high operating temperature applications, especially for the plastics industry. The various types of band heaters available at WATTCO™ include mica insulated band heaters and ceramic band heaters.
• MICA BAND HEATERS
o Top quality mica of various thickness
o Maximum sheath temperature: 900°F
o External metallic sheath includes special alloys
o Broad range of construction designs, clamping mechanisms, and electrical
terminal types
BENEFITS
 • MICA BAND HEATERS
o Energy efficient
o Economical
o Reliable
o Versatile
o Mica and high grade resistance wire
o Uniform heat distribution
o CSA and CE certified
APPLICATIONS
• MICA BAND HEATERS
o Injection molding
o Blow-molding
o Plastic extrusion
o Container, pipe, or tank heating
o Pharmaceutical applications
o Applications in the food industry
• CERAMIC BAND HEATERS
Durable, WATTCO™ ceramic band heaters provide excellent energy efficiency with their built-in ceramic fiber jackets. Unlike mica band heaters, ceramic heaters transfer heat through conduction and radiation and do not require tightening around the cylinder. Flexible, these heaters come in a wide variety of terminal styles, and with different clamping mechanisms, holes and cutouts.
