The
element utilized in the Aluma-Flex Band Heater is the highly efficient,
rugged, long lasting tubular heater pressed in a grooved aluminum
extrusion. The combination of the tubular heater in exact contact with
the excellent thermal conducting aluminum extrusion create a quick
responding band heater with uniform sheath temperatures for precise
process heating. With the termination a significant distance from the
part being heated and no other place for contaminants to enter, the
Aluma-Flex is virtually indestructible. A low expansion alloy strap with
mounting hardware allows the assembly to be tightly drawn to the part to
be heated. With sheath temperatures to 650
F attainable, the Aluma-Flex Band Heater is ideal for
use on barrels of plastic extruders, injection molding machines, dies
and die heads of extruders and blow molding equipment, or, within
temperature limitations, any cylindrical surface.
