Mighty-Miser Ceramic Band Heaters

Typical applications are plastic molding, extrusion and molding presses. Ceramic band heaters are also used for pipe heating, heat treating and autoclaves or any application where there is a need to apply heat to a cylindrical surface. Mighty-Miser Ceramic Band Heaters Standard Products

DESIGN FEATURES: Energy efficient, less power consumption High sheath temperature capability up to 1600°F (Consult BigChief) Thermally insulated Uniform temperature Flexible, easy to install and remove Ceramic Fiber Insulation: The standard insulation is 1/4″ thick to improve energy conservation 25% and more over non-insulated bands. 1/2″ thick insulation optional. In the Maxi-Miser design, an additional 1/2″ non-compressed layer of insulation is contained in a separate, flexible chamber for even greater energy savings. Maxi-Miser Insulation Chamber Serrated Sheath: Sheath material is resistant to heat and corrosion. Unique Serrations maximize flexibility, increase surface contact and provide easy opening and installation of the heater, eliminating the necessity of two piece band heaters up to 18″ in diameter. Simplified Installation, Additional Energy Conservation: Ceramic Band Heaters can be manufactured in widths much greater than what is practical in Mica Band Heaters, eliminating heat losses between gaps in narrow band heaters and simplifying installation.

Screw Terminals and Box Protection:

1/4-20″x 1″ threaded terminals are standard as in Fig. S or in terminal box as in Fig. B. Under 2″ width, terminals are parallel to circumference. Over 2″, terminals are perpendicular to circumference. Standard position is 180° from gap. Specify alternate position.

Braid or Conduit Protection:
To protect leads against abrasion, braided sleeve in Fig. L. is held in place by a clip. Conduit in Fig. A is connected to stand off bracket. Standard position is 180° from gap. Specify alternate position. Standard length is 12″ braid or cable with 14″ leads.

Overlap Flange:
For thermocouple probe hole located through gap as per Fig. F.

Leads:
Fiberglass insulated lead wires held in place by a clip as per Fig. D. Standard position is 180° from gap. Specify alternate position.

Quick Disconnect Plug:
U.L. approved plugs can be attached with Bracket °Fig. P; Conduit °Fig. A and C; Braid Fig. L. Mighty-Miser Ceramic Band Heaters can also be supplied with #110 European Plug. Other plugs attached to leads are available.
