HotFlex

Hotset offers a flexible heater that can be bent into very specific shapes without the need for special bending jigs. Due to the flexibility of the HotFlex it is now possible to bend it into three dimensional shapes.

HotFlex has been designed for concentrated heat in specific areas to optimise the heating systems. It is extensively used for heating the plastic flow channels on hot runner manifolds and to focus heat in the specific area on the sealing plates used for bonding and cutting plastic

Technical Data :

Hotflex Ø 8.5:

termination M2,5:

ceramic connector:

UHSA-YCERCONNEC

Diameter options:8,5 ± 0,1mm, standard
8,0 ± 0,1mm
8,2 ± 0,1mm
6,5 ± 0,1mm

Extension factor:
multiply the groove centreline length of each bend by these expansion factors to determine the appropriate HotFlex length:

 Hotflex Ø 8,5 mm:
at radius R 10,0mm = 0,94
at radius R 12,5mm = 0,95
at radius R 15,0mm = 0,95
at radius R>15,0mm = 0,96
Unheated zones:min. 30mm / 30mm
Not bendable zones:min. 30mm / 30mm
Minimum bending radius:

R = 10mm (internal)
