DESIGN FEATURES Energy efficient, less power consumption High temperature capability up to 1600°F(875°C) Thermally insulated Uniform temperature Flexible, easy to install and remove Elongation compensation w/spring loaded screw over 18" diameter) CONSTRUCTION DETAILS Terminal Box Cover: Heavy gauge rust resistant material has knockouts for ½" conduit connections Ceramic Fiber Insulation: The standard insulation is ¼" thick to improve energy conservation 25% and more over non-insulated Bands. ½" thick insulation optional. Serrated Sheath: Sheath material is resistant to heat & corrosion. Unique Serrations maximize flexibility, increase surface contact & provide easy opening & installation of the heater, eliminating the necessity of two piece band heaters up to 18" in diameter. Simplified installation, additional energy conservation: Ceramic Band Heaters can be manufactured in widths much greater than what is practical in Mica Band Heaters, eliminating heat losses between gaps in narrow Band heaters, and simplifying installation. Mounting Flange is standard: Quick release latch is optional for ease of installation. Spring loaded screw on flange is available to compensate for thermal expansion and contraction (over 18" diameter).

Maintenance and trouble shooting for prolonging heater life Regulate Voltage. A 10% variation in voltage results in a 20% variation in power. The cylinder must be clean and smooth for efficient heat transfer. When matching the lead wires to the terminals, excessive pressure can cause breakage of the terminal resistance wire.

A ½" gap should be maintained at the opening when operating. Retightening is not normally required, however, if the operating temperature is changed the clamp bolt should be checked. Any material which can be carbonized such as dirt, oil, plastic, etc. should not be allowed to collect on the heaters.

Select a heater to match the diameter of the cylinder. In no case should heaters be used that are too large. Match the heaters as closely as possible to the actual load requirement to reduce cycling.
