Do's and Don’ts
  • Please take care while fixing heaters and selecting watts check Volts rating of heaters before connection. Heater rated for particular volts should never be connected to higher volts rating.
  • These heaters are rigid and heat transfer is by conduction from inside surface so perfect matching of dia is important. Heater should be fastened tight without air gap. Heater fixing surface should be perfect. Heaters should be tightened again after set temperature is reached as mica heater expands a bit. This will ensure better life of mica band heaters.
  • No foreign materials such as polymer, oil, water etc., should fall over the heaters they should be well covered.
  • Choose appropriate watts as per calculation. Under rated watts will result in heater failure.
  • Temperature control should be taken care. For higher temperature application do inform us while ordering.
  • Additional cover can be provided upon request at additional cost for energy saving. Do inform at enquiry stage. good only for sizes bigger than 100mm dia..

Frequently Asked Questions

Mica band heaters are electrical heating elements made with mica insulation. They are designed to provide uniform heat to cylindrical objects, such as pipes and barrels.

Mica band heaters work by passing electric current through a resistance wire, which generates heat. This heat is then transferred to the surface of the object they are wrapped around.

Mica band heaters are commonly used in various industries for heating applications, including plastic processing, packaging, and food processing, where consistent temperature control is essential.

Mica band heaters can typically operate at temperatures ranging from 0°F to 1,000°F (-18°C to 538°C), depending on the specific model and design.

To choose the right mica band heater, consider factors such as the size of the object to be heated, the required temperature, and the wattage needed for efficient heating.

Mica band heaters require minimal maintenance. Regularly check for signs of wear or damage and ensure that the electrical connections are secure and free from corrosion.
