Our 50mm x 25mm 130W Nozzle Heater is a high-performance heating component, meticulously engineered to provide rapid and even heat distribution precisely where it is required. This crucial control prevents undesirable cold spots or material degradation, ensuring optimal flow characteristics for your products.

This 130-watt heating solution is synonymous with efficiency and longevity, consistently delivering the thermal energy necessary for stable process temperatures. Whether your operations focus on injection moulding, extrusion, or other industrial tasks demanding precise heat on smaller, cylindrical components, this nozzle heater is an invaluable asset for minimising waste, improving product quality, and enhancing overall operational consistency.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Efficient Heating Profile (50mm x 25mm, 130W): Delivers effective, targeted heat across a wider 50mm internal diameter by a 25mm width, making it highly suitable for specific critical heating zones on machine nozzles requiring precise control at this wattage.
• Rapid Thermal Response & Uniformity: Engineered for swift heat-up times, ensuring your nozzle quickly achieves the set temperature and maintains excellent consistency across its heated surface, thereby avoiding temperature variations.
• Enhanced Material Processing: Vital for managing plastics and other viscous substances, this heater actively prevents material from solidifying or degrading at the nozzle tip, facilitating smoother flow, reducing blockages, and contributing to superior product quality.
• Durable Brass & Mica Construction (Hermetically Sealed): Expertly built with high-grade mica insulation, encased within a robust brass sheath. This combination offers superb dielectric strength, excellent thermal conductivity, and impressive resilience against wear in demanding industrial settings. The hermetically sealed design provides advanced protection from moisture and contaminants, significantly extending the heater's operational lifespan.
• Energy-Conscious Performance: By supplying focused heat directly to the nozzle, this heater helps to minimise energy wastage, thereby maximising heating efficiency compared to less localised methods.
• Straightforward Fitting: Designed for easy clamping around cylindrical nozzles, enabling quick and efficient replacement and setup by your maintenance personnel.
• Versatile Industrial Utility: While an ideal choice for injection moulding and extrusion applications, this adaptable heater also performs exceptionally well in hot runner nozzles, various packaging machinery, specialised fluid lines, and any equipment requiring focused, precise heat.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q1: What is a nozzle heater primarily used for?

A1: Nozzle heaters are heating elements specifically designed to heat the nozzle of machinery, most commonly in injection moulding and extrusion processes. Their core purpose is to maintain the plastic material at a consistent, optimal temperature as it exits the barrel and enters the mould, thereby preventing premature solidification or degradation.

Q2: How do I determine the correct size and wattage for my nozzle heater?

A2: You need to accurately measure the internal diameter (e.g., 50mm) and width (or length) (e.g., 25mm) of the area where the heater will be fitted. The wattage (e.g., 130W) is typically determined by the heat required for the material and process speed; it is best to match the specifications of your existing heater or consult your machine's manual. Always confirm the voltage required for your specific machine.

Q3: What type of heater is this and what does "hermetically sealed" mean?

A3: This is a Mica Band Heater, which utilises mica insulation for excellent thermal conductivity and electrical insulation, all encased within a robust brass sheath. "Hermetically sealed" signifies that the heating element and its internal components are fully protected from external elements like moisture, oils, and various contaminants, which considerably extends the heater's lifespan and reliability in demanding industrial settings.5

Q4: What factors affect the lifespan of a nozzle heater?

A4: The lifespan of a nozzle heater can be influenced by several factors, including continuous operation at maximum temperature, incorrect installation (e.g., a loose fit causing localised hot spots), voltage fluctuations, and exposure to corrosive materials or excessive physical stress. Proper installation and diligent maintenance are crucial for maximising its operational life.

Q5: Can this heater be used with any voltage?

A5: No. Heaters are precisely engineered for a specific voltage (in this case, 230/240V). Using a heater with an incorrect voltage can lead to immediate failure, inefficient operation, or pose a serious safety hazard.6 Always ensure the heater's voltage perfectly matches your machine's power supply.
