Key Features & Benefits:

• Compact & High Wattage Density (1" x 1.5", 150W): Delivers powerful, targeted heat within a minimal footprint, ideal for small and critical heating zones on machine nozzles, providing increased wattage in a slightly wider band.
• Rapid Heat-Up & Uniform Distribution: Engineered for quick thermal response, ensuring your nozzle reaches the desired temperature swiftly and maintains consistent heat across its surface, preventing temperature fluctuations.
• Optimised Material Flow: Crucial for plastics and other viscous materials, it prevents material from solidifying or degrading at the nozzle tip, leading to smoother flow, fewer clogs, and reduced product defects.
• Durable Brass & Mica Construction (Hermetically Sealed): Constructed with high-grade mica insulation and a robust brass sheath, offering excellent dielectric strength, thermal conductivity, and resistance to wear and tear in demanding industrial environments.¹ The hermetically sealed design provides enhanced protection against moisture and contaminants, ensuring prolonged life.
• Energy Efficient: Provides focused heat directly to the nozzle, minimising energy loss and maximising heating efficiency compared to less localised heating methods.
• Easy Installation: Designed for simple clamping around cylindrical nozzles, facilitating quick replacement and setup by maintenance personnel.
• Versatile Industrial Applications: While ideal for injection molding and extrusion, this compact heater is also perfect for hot runner nozzles, packaging machinery, specialised fluid lines, and other equipment requiring precise, localised 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 molding and extrusion processes. Their purpose is to maintain the plastic material at a consistent, optimal temperature as it exits the barrel and enters the mold, preventing premature solidification or degradation.

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

A2: You need to measure the internal diameter (e.g., 1 inch) and width (or length) (e.g., 1.5 inches) of the area where the heater will be installed. The wattage (e.g., 150W) is typically determined by the heat required for the material and process speed; it's 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, encased in a robust brass sheath. "Hermetically sealed" means the heating element and internal components are fully protected from external elements like moisture, oils, and contaminants, significantly extending the heater's lifespan and reliability in harsh industrial environments.

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

A4: The lifespan of a nozzle heater can be affected by several factors, including continuous operation at maximum temperature, improper installation (e.g., loose fit causing hot spots), voltage fluctuations, and exposure to corrosive materials or extreme physical stress.3 Proper installation and maintenance are key to maximising its life.

Q5: Can this heater be used with any voltage?

A5: No. Heaters are designed for a specific voltage (in this case, 230/240V). Using a heater with an incorrect voltage can cause it to burn out immediately, operate inefficiently, or pose a safety hazard. Always ensure the heater's voltage matches your machine's power supply.
