Mica Band Heater
Mica band heaters offer efficient and economical solutions for heating cylindrical surfaces that require indirect external heating. They are ideal solution for high watt density and high temperature applications. It uses nickel chromium resistance strip as heating element which is precisely wounded on a dielectric material for even heat distribution.
The heating element is insulated within a mica core enclosed in a metal sheath which provides exceptional insulation, dielectric strength and heat transfer capability for faster heat up and longer heater life. Heaters can incorporate various sized holes and cut-outs and are customizable for various dimensions, wattages, voltages and materials to suit different application requirements.
Mica band heaters can also accommodate built in thermocouple which helps in controlling temperature more accurately. Thermocouples can be of type “J” or type “K”, grounded or ungrounded.
