Cyronix
Band Heaters fall into two classifications; Barrel and Nozzle. The
Barrel and Nozzle Heaters are specifically designed to apply heat
by conduction to cylindrical surfaces. Typical applications for barrel
type band heaters include heating the barrels of plastic injection
molders and extruders, heat treating large diameter pipe sections,
heating kettles and fluidized beds. Nozzle heaters are smaller in
diameter than band heaters and are used to heat smooth steel nozzles.
Some Cyronix Band Heaters are made from formed strip heaters, other Cyronix Band Heaters are made from formed triangular tubular heating elements. The high quality strip and tubular heating elements that are used in making Cyronix Band Heaters are secured to the cylindrical surface being heated by a heavy duty non-slipping clamping band. This assures positive and constant pressure to the heating elements, thereby maximizing heat transfer to the work area. |
