Types of Band Heaters and Their Advantages

So that the customer can learn more about these industrial band heaters, here is a short explanation of the benefits of the three different types of band heaters. We are a well-known band heater seller with our website available online. 

Ceramic Band Heater

What is Ceramic Band Heater:

The ceramic band heaters aren’t made by bending black Mica wire like most heaters, but by threading ceramic wire instead. This means that the power output of these ceramic band heaters is 0.6–1.6 times higher than that of most heaters. The ceramic band heater is made of imported round Silk Pottery that is bent into a flexible yellow shape and inserted into a ceramic ring. The Shell is made of a stainless steel plate. In the middle, a plate made of aluminum silicate fibers is used to keep the temperature from leaking out. A ceramic bar is a high-frequency porcelain that quickly transfers heat, is hard and hard to break, doesn’t change shape easily when heated, and so on.

Briefly, a ceramic band heater’s main uses are extrusion molding, casting, and down-stroke mechanical equipment. Its working temperature can go above 350 degrees, and it can handle a larger surface load of 6.3 watts per centimeter. It has a long life, can handle heat, uses 40% less energy, and has high dielectric strength. It is the most common type of electric heater for extruders, plastics machines, and film blowers. We are also an Armor thermocouple manufacturer if you are interested in that field of purchase. 

Benefits of Ceramic Heater:

Ceramic band heaters are easy to install, transfer heat quickly, and have a good insulation layer. Manufacture is not limited by model specifications and size specifications. High working temperature, fast rise in temperature, high thermal efficiency, good for the environment, and precise heating. The most important pros are:

1. Easy To Cover:

When heating vessels or pipes with winding, they can be bent into an arc or ring-shaped cladding on the surface. When heating large and medium-sized steel parts, some can be wrapped, and large steel parts can choose to use the paving cover. In addition to this, it can be used to heat steel in a variety of geometric shapes.

2. Temperature:

It has a high working temperature, heats up quickly, has a high heat efficiency, is safe for the environment, heats evenly and accurately, and can be set up to control itself automatically.

3. Resistance:

Good resistance to heat and electricity, a large surface area, and long service life.

4. Easy To Use:

It is easy to install and fix, has a low cost of application, and can still be recycled even if the hot raw material inside is destroyed.

Mica Band Heater:

What is Mica Band Heater:

The mica band heaters are made of high-quality ni-cr alloy heating wire as the heating element, natural mica as the cable sheath, and high-quality stainless steel plate as the transmission layer. These mica band heaters can be made of hardware, plates, and all kinds of other goods, depending on what the customer wants.

These band heaters’ surface is fine at 2.3 to 3 watts per cubic centimeter. The customer should choose the output power category based on his or her needs and use the automatic temperature control system software to keep all the normal output power and extend the life of the electric heating coil.

Benefits Of Mica Band Heater:

1. Stainless Steel:

The advantages of the mica band heater are that it is made from stainless steel plate and black MICA, so it can be used as a nozzle to heat small objects or to heat the barrel of a plastic machine. With a good configuration, a nice look, stable features, even heating, a fast cooling heat pipe, a long life, good dielectric strength, high-pressure resistance, and other features.

2. Uses:

Mica band heaters are most often used in plastic machines, extruders, and other machines that shape plastic.

3. Heaters:

Heaters made of cast aluminum bands

Aluminum Cast Band Heater:

What is Aluminium Cast Band Heater:

Aluminum casting band heaters can be divided into two types: aluminum die-casting forging and casting forging. When it comes to the type of specification, the more places the specification goes, the more often the casting processing craft is chosen. For casting, a high-purity aluminum block is used, which is turned from a solid hard disc into a liquid by a high-temperature melting furnace. The liquid is then put into a grinding tool that already has a heating pipe installed.

All normal thicknesses of the aluminum casting band heaters are 30 mm and 20 mm, at least 20 mm wall thickness of the heating ring cavity selection concave and convex slot design, the purpose is to avoid the internal heating pipe temperature is too high in the application, for example, when the temperature is high, wind water cooling or cooling water can be used in the chamber, which makes it faster than the standard application temperature. Most of the time, an electric heating ring is used to cut the ring in half and make it into two half-circles. Then, it is installed according to the anchor bolts that are fixed to the ring.

Benefits of Aluminium Cast Band Heaters:

1. Long Life:

Under normal use and storage conditions, it can be used safely for about 10 years, and the total plug-in application time (service life test: power off for 1h, plug in for 2h) should be about 3000h.

2. Low Maintenance:

Low cost, low power use, and high heat efficiency. Internationally, there is a gradual trend to increase the rated power of the heating plate, which lowers the quality of the heat reservoir and goes beyond the goal of increasing the output power without increasing the amount of power used. High output power, a small thermal storage body, so the thermal inertia force is low. This means that the electric heating rod cooks or heats faster has high thermal efficiency, and uses less electromagnetic energy. Costs go down for the manufacturer when they don’t have to store as much heat.

3. Adjustable Temperature:

Board heating The temperature of gluten should also be taken into account in a number of different application temperature rules. For example, the temperature for boiling, boiling, and cooking is set to 150 °C, while the temperature for frying is set to 160–190 °C. Too low, and the food will turn out burnt and light yellow. Too high, and the oil will turn into carbon, so the best range for gluten temperature is between 130 and 300 °C.
