Heatron|Mica Band Heater Technology from Heatron

Mica band heaters are an excellent choice for many applications in Packaging Equipment, Process Heating, and in most heating applications in the plastics industry. Mica heaters can be configured in a wide range of sizes with many types of lead options and clamping methods.

These heaters are used on extruders, injection molding machines, blown film dies, and in a variety of industrial and process heating applications. These heaters are designed for easy installation, and long life in demanding applications. Consult Heatron and collaborate with our Engineers to create heater solution for your application.

• Inorganic Mica - Heatron uses 100 percent inorganic Mica as insulating material, eliminating potential carbon contaminates found in most Mica binding agents. This allows the MAX2000 to operate at higher temperatures and watt densities.
• High Torque Post Terminals - Standard post terminals feature unique post-weld construction, which allows the terminal to be over-tightened without damaging or severing the resistance wire post connection.
• High Temperature Lead Wire - MAX2000 Mica insulated heaters feature 850°F (450°C) lead wire. This higher temperature rating prevents premature failure where the leads exit the heater.  Low temperature (250°C) lead wire available upon request.
• Custom Designed - MAX 2000 heaters can be custom made to fit your specific applications.
• Holes and Notches
• Integral Straps
• Multiple Sections
• Terminal Box- The SS straps are able to receive a direct mount terminal box with a removable lid for access to the terminals.  This box accepts both ½" conduit or a customer installed bushing or clamp for use with exposed leads.
• Agency Approvals Include- UL, CSA, TUV, CE available for most configurations
