MICA STRIP HEATERS

people are viewing this right now

JB Heater’s Strip Heaters, commonly used as component heaters, offer an efficient and cost-effective method for transferring heat over surfaces. They are an economical solution for heating small areas or surfaces and can be enhanced with fins when used as radiant heaters to increase surface area and improve heat transfer to the air.

Construction

Mica Strip Heaters are built by winding a nickel-chrome resistance ribbon around mica insulation and enclosing it in a durable stainless steel sheath. These heaters come in a wide range of sizes and shapes, with customizable options for holes, notches, and cut-outs to suit specific applications. They offer various wiring configurations, including threaded terminals, wire leads, and terminal boxes, providing flexibility in installation and field wiring.

These strip heaters are particularly well-suited for plastic processing applications, as well as any application where heat is needed on a flat or curved surface.

FEATURES

✦ Heat up time is fast to provide a quick response to control input
✦ The flat inner resistance ribbon generates a broad area of overall heat to put the heat source close to the work
✦ Quality assembled winding and spacing of ribbon ensures maximum heat transfer and heater longevity
✦ The Stainless Steel sheath is treated so that the surface allows the increase of heat transfer to retard oxidation
✦ The Mica insulation also withstands high voltage temperatures, resist moisture, and remain immune to most chemicals
✦ The Aluminized Steel sheath is rust resistant, durably rigid, and generates heat well

MOUNTING SUGGESTIONS

Maximize your mica strip heater, by ensuring the following tips.

✦ The surface to be heated needs to be kept smooth and clean, for best heat transferring. Caution: Gaps can cause hot spotting
✦ Terminal post nuts should not be over tightened, while posts should be securely riveted to the elements. Caution: Excessive torque can break the connection

DERATING TIPS

✦ Heaters mounted less than 1 inch apart on a metal base: derate by 5%
✦ Heaters mounted within 3 inches of a reflective surface: derate by 10%
✦ Heaters mounted 2-6 increase apart, that radiate toward each other: derate 10%
✦ Heaters mounted within one inch from reflective surface(s): derate by 20%
✦ Heaters mounted under 2 inches apart, and radiating towards each other: derate by 20%
