Ceramic Band Heaters

MATRUSREE Ceramic band heaters are medium-to-high temperature heaters that have 650ºC as a maximum working temperature. These durable heaters have in-built ceramic fiber jackets that make them energy efficient. Ceramic band heaters are available with different terminal styles, are fully flexible, and can accommodate holes and cut-outs.

Construction:

Ceramic Band Heaters design consist of a helically wound resistance coil made from 80/20 Nichrome wire, evenly stretched and precisely strung through a specially designed Ceramic insulating bricks forming a flexible heating mat. The ceramic heating mat along with 1/4" thick ceramic fiber insulation is placed in a stainless steel housing made with serrated edges providing maximum flexibility for easy installation. This construction prevents heat loss and reduces electrical consumption by 15%. Because of low thermal conductivity of CFI the external surface temperature of the Ceramic Band is around 200ºC while running the inside surface temperature at 650ºC.
Heat is transferred from a ceramic heater to the surface of an application through conduction and radiation. This is why a tight grip on the cylinder is not as critical as in other types of heaters. Moreover, over tightening should be avoided, since the pressure on the insulation mat reduces its insulating efficiency. Using different combinations of ceramic tiles, which are available only in specific lengths, makes ceramic band heaters. Consequently, the width of a ceramic band heater falls within a certain incremental range. 
Ceramic Band Heaters can be manufactured with different clamping mechanisms, terminations styles, holes and cut-outs.
