Band Heater
Band Heater
Band heaters are ring-shaped heating elements that clamp around cylindrical surfaces (like pipes, barrels, or nozzles) to provide uniform, high-temperature heat. They are widely used in industrial, plastic processing, and fluid heating applications.
Plastic & Rubber Processing
- Injection Molding Machines:Heats the barrel to melt plastic pellets evenly.
- Extruders: Maintains temperature in single/twin-screw extruder barrels.
- Blow Molding & Hot Runner Systems: Ensures consistent material flow.
Industrial Fluid & Gas Heating
- Pipe Heating: Prevents freezing or maintains viscosity in oil, water, or chemical lines.
- Tank & Drum Heating: Used in fuel storage, asphalt tanks, and industrial reactors.
- Process Heating:For food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
Packaging & Printing Industry
- Sealing Machines: Provides heat for plastic bag sealing.
- Labeling Equipment:Ensures adhesive activation.
Food & Beverage Industry
- Chocolate & Candy Melters: Maintains liquid consistency.
- Beverage Dispensers: Keeps syrups or oils at optimal temperatures.
Specialized Applications
- 3D Printers: Heats the extruder nozzle in industrial-grade printers.
- Semiconductor Manufacturing:Used in wafer processing equipment.
Advantages of Band Heaters
- Uniform Heating: Even heat distribution around cylindrical surfaces.
- High-Temperature Range:Can reach up to 750°C+ (depending on model).
- Easy Installation:Clamps securely with screws or lugs.
- Customizable:Available in different widths, diameters, wattages, and materials (e.g., ceramic, mica, aluminum).
