Band heaters grip tightly to cylindrical surface to supply uniform heat transfer, critical to the heater life. Chromalox band heaters are flexible and come in one or two-piece construction for easy installation and removal. They accommodate diameters as small as 15/16″ and as large as 20″ and are capable of reaching sheath temperatures up to 1500°F. Stainless steel braids and conduit protect terminations and resist contamination. Completely customize your heater by specifying exact physical dimensions, material, electric ratings and terminations.

Mica Band Heaters
A mica core produces a thin, efficient heater. Heat from the precisely wound resistance element is quickly transferred to the working surface for fast heat-up and response. Mica provides excellent dielectric strength and heat transfer capability for long heater life. The mica core is encased in a continuous corrosion resistant sheath and formed. All full mica band heaters are designed with closed ends to protect against contamination. Maximum sheath temperature is 800°F.
Ceramic Band heaters
• Blow Molding
• Die Heads
• Extruders
• Heating Pipes
• Injection Molding
Aluma-Flex Band Heaters
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 significant distance from the part being heated and no other place for contaminants to enter
Mighty-Tuff Band Heaters
Mighty-Tuff Band Heater to surpass,all other band heaters in providing the ever increasing temperatures required for processing today’s high tech materials. The advanced design and thin profile allow the quick transferof heat from the element to the sheath for efficient operation to 1200°F sheath temperature.Watt densities as high as 100 wp/in2 on small diameters are possible. A stainless steel sheath encases a compressed mineral refractory material which surrounds a helical or sinuated resistance element. The Mighty Tuff can stan up shock, vibration and many contaminants long after standard band heaters have failed. In normal use, or in the most difficult application, the Mighty-Tuff will improve machine productivity by improviband heater performance.
