Other applications include packaging machines and general heating of containers, pipes and flat metal surfaces.

Features:

• These elements is even heat distribution over a large surface area.
• Construction consists of heating wire, insulated with either mica plates or ceramic formers.
• The elements are usually metal encapsulated for mechanical strength.

Mica insulation offers thin construction (4mm), maximum Watts density of 3.5 W/cm² and operation up to 380°C.
For process temperatures in excess of 280°, ceramic insulation is preferred.

Application example: Heating Elements + Control Components on Plastic Blow Moulding Machines

The purpose of a temperature control loop is to maintain the process temperature accurately at a determined level. A control loop typically consists of Heating Elements Temperature Sensors Controllers and a Switching Device/ Solid State Relay to feed power to the element. All parts in the control loop are essential and need to be selected, installed and set up correctly.  We supply both replacement components as well as engineered turnkey solutions to match your specific requirements.
