Conduction is the place the heater band straightforwardly contacts the article it is heating

Heater bands are metal fibbers encased in a defensive covering that changes over power into heat. This valuable heat vitality is then moved in a controlled technique to an alternate question through convection or conduction. Convection is the point at which a heating component does not need to be in contact with the article it is heating.

In the plastics material business, the Heater Bands gives a method for applying heat to any injection moulding barrel shaped machine part, basically the barrel, end top, or spout of plastic embellishment supplies. They are conductive heaters giving warm conductivity to the outside steel surface. The heat exchange from the mica band to the barrel assumes a real part in deciding the heater life and the proficiency of changing over electrical vitality into heat for the injection moulding barrel.

The mica heater band is planned and developed for long, proficient administration. The development configuration and materials utilized as a part of mica band heaters have exhibited accomplishment of the vital long administration life for high benefit of plastic material trim and expelling machines.

Favourable circumstances of Heater Bands
•             high watt-thickness abilities up to 35 W/in
•             reasonably high temperature abilities 600° F (900° F short term)
•             good productivity
•             good lifetime (interim to disappointment)
•             mica band heaters are incredible minimal effort heaters
•             easily modified and immediately fabricated
•             they are not difficult to keep up and under fitting look after years

Heater Bands have a few favourable circumstances over different sorts of band heaters. What makes them the most utilized heater as a part of the plastics business is the blending of sensible high-watt thickness abilities, sensibly high temperature capacities (900° F), their proficiency, lifetime anticipation and minimal effort.

Detailing heater Bands
Imperative parameters to consider when determining band heaters are: most extreme working or sheath temperature, AC voltage needed, and watts. Electrical force is measured in watts. Greatest working temperature is the most extreme temperature that the sheath covering the heater may reach. The greatest sheath temperature does not speak to the most extreme temperature that a heated substance may reach. Air conditioning voltage obliged speaks to the base AC Voltage needed to work the heater. Watts speaks to the greatest wattage accessible from the heater. Imperative measurements to consider for band heaters are within distance across of the band, the width of the band and the thickness of the band. The heater inside width ought to be the same size as the outside breadth of the heater chamber to be heated.


Mica band heaters are composed with nickel-chrome safety wire correctly wound around a mica sheet, which is then put between two extra destructive safe external mica steel sheets. Mica is utilized on the grounds that it gives great warm conductivity and dielectric quality. It can withstand voltage spikes, oppose dampness, and is adaptable enough to fit in with the arches of plastic trim machine barrels. Since mica is additionally a heat protector, just top evaluation mica, which is inorganic, has high temperature security, and is "paper slender" is utilized.
