Flexible Heaters and Band Heaters Intro & Applications

Flexible Heaters conform to unique shapes and patterns. The thin profile produces excellent heat transfer. Flexible heaters are adaptable to many applications in many industries. Medical, laboratory and food service equipment and aerospace instrumentation are among thousands of possible applications. The OGDEN 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, OGDEN can supply the perfect heat source.

 

 

 

Flexible Heaters, of which Silicone Rubber and Kapton are 2 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 & 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, with typical OGDEN reliability.
