Mica Band Heaters

HITCO’S Mica Band Heater can perform at higher operating temperature [in application up to 350°C] essential to process high temperature resins in plastic processing machines.

Mica Band is proven heater design for good life efficiency and dependability. It assure maintaining the lowest winding temperature possible, keeping low-mass heating element assembly for fast heat-up and quick thermal response to controls. It corporate the low thermal expansion built – in strap, a unique feature developed by HITCO’S.

HITCO’S BAND HEATERS are designed with brass and stainless steel sheaths in mica band to accommodate high wattage requirements.

The exigencies of the plastic field of working with advance high productivity technical system, with newly composed raw material, required plant to work under higher working temperature and bigger heating quantity.

• Resistive winding: big section wide band nickel chrome 80/20 with consequent low specific load obtained by N.C winding machine assuring constant repeatability and uniformity.
• Insulation: by continuous pure mica with very low inorganic alloy content.
• Internal casing: of stainless steel with high thermal conductivity for guaranteed maximum heat transmission to the plasticization cylinders.
• External screw strap casing: of stainless steel suitable for high temperature for guaranteed maximum thermal efficiency making a pressure action on the heating band.
• Special terminal box: designed in ceramics, incorporates the junction between power cables and resistive plate. A metallic protection shields, the ceramic from knock and wire ripping.
• Power cable: for high temperature with leads in pure nickel or nickel copper. External fiberglass insulated. External protection in metallic braiding with various options.
