The
Mighty Watt is an elite category of high density cartridge heaters. No other
swaged cartridge heater is compacted to the extent of the Mighty Watt,
producing excellent heat transfer capability and the dielectric and physical
strength necessary for long life and outstanding performance. The Mighty
Watt is designed for applications where high operating temperatures are
required, or where heaters are subjected to vibration. Because the
construction allows maximum heat transfer and high temperatures, it is
possible to use fewer heaters at higher watt densities to reduce space
requirements. The Mighty Watt is available from 1/8" to 1-1/4" diameters in
just about any conceivable increment. With designed-in quality and
reliability, the Mighty Watt is the ideal heat source for any process.

Our
selection of Band Heaters leaves no cylindrical surface heating question
without an answer. The Mighty-Tuff can produce sheath temperatures to 1400°F
at high watt densities. The design of the Aluma-Flex creates an efficient, quick responding, virtually
indestructible band heater. The Mighty-Miser Ceramic Band Heater's features
can produce significant energy savings. For practically any electric heating
application, Gordo can supply the perfect heat source.

Flexible
Heaters, of which Silicone Rubber and Kapton are two types, were originally
designed for the aerospace and defense industries. Common were such
applications as maintaining constant temperatures in the instrumentation of
aircraft, satellites, navigation, guidance and radar equipment. The
versatility of this product has since been widely recognized as thousands of
uses have been discovered. Flexible heaters are regularly specified because
of their light weight, thin profile, low thermal mass and flexibility. The
abilities to provide an infinite array of patterns and concentrations of
heat are additional characteristics. Complex shapes, contours and
three-dimensional patterns are possible. Many mounting methods are available
for the application of Flexible Heaters. Computer generated specifications
and state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies produce the most effective
Flexible Heater performance possible.
Silicone
Rubber Heaters and Drum Heaters
The most
versatile of all electric heating elements, the tubular heater is capable of
being formed into virtually any configuration. The basic design consists of
a helical coil of nickel-chromium resistance wire precisely centered in a
metal sheath. This coil is surrounded by magnesium oxide powder which is
vibration loaded to insure even density throughout the length of the heater.
This entire assembly is then reduced to the finished diameter, compacting
the MgO and "freezing" the coil in the center of the heater. The range of
ratings, sizes, materials and terminations available makes the tubular
heater adaptable to many industrial, commercial and scientific applications.
Tubular Heaters
For
tanks, platens and other surface heating applications, freeze and moisture
protection in control cabinets, and infinite other industrial and commercial
applications. Strip Heaters offer outstanding performance in the most
demanding situations. The HD Strip Heater's highly compressed refractory
material provides uniform temperatures and long life in thousands of
applications, including convective air heating. Adding fins increases the
surface area to allow higher wattages. A thin profile and extreme watt
density capabilities of Mighty-Tuff Strip Heaters provide high temperatures
with quick responses for conductive surface heating processes. Mica Strip
Heaters are the most economical of all strip heater types. Applications in
commercial cooking and vending equipment are typical. The Channel Heater's
seamless design can provide high process temperatures. With certain
configurations, Channel Heaters can be contamination proof. With the HD,
Mighty-Tuff, Mica Strip and the Channel Heaters, Gordo can supply the
perfect heat source for any strip heater application.

The flat
shape of the Mighty-Blade provides greater
surface area inch for inch of length than round elements. With the
Mighty-Blade, equipment can he designed with more wattage in less linear
space than with conventional elements. Or, by replacing an existing tubular
heater with a Mighty-Blade of the same length, the watt density is
significantly reduced. In immersion applications the narrow profile
increases natural convective flow of materials being processed, resulting in
lower sheath temperatures and improved heat transfer to the process.
Materials being processed are less susceptible to degradation. In processes
where these considerations are not as critical, watt densities can be
reasonably increased. The .275" x 1" dimension creates anti-corrosion,
self-cleaning effects that significantly extend the Mighty-Blade's useful
life by not allowing the collection of foreign materials on the sheath. The
multiple coil design permits an individual element the flexibility to be
wired at the installation in single phase, three phase, three heat or dual
voltage. The Mighty-Blade can be used in virtually any immersion, clamp-on,
forced air or radiant heating application.
Mighty Blade Heaters
Designed
for hot press metal forming applications, the Maxi-Zone High Temperature
Insertion Heater produces continuous sheath temperatures to
2000°F/1095°C. An Inconel® 600 sheath allows efficient
operation at extreme temperatures. Because of this capability, many
applications will observe considerable performance improvements with the
Maxi-Zone versus other heat sources. A unique feature of the Maxi-Zone is to
provide two or three independently controllable areas along the sheath
length. Precise temperatures can be produced in every location by arranging
the process in multiple zones and monitoring and controlling each
separately.
