Ceramic Band Heaters
High-Performance Heating for Cylindrical Surfaces
Looking for reliable, efficient heating for barrels, pipes, and cylindrical machinery? Our Ceramic Band Heaters are built to deliver high temperatures, uniform heat distribution, and long-term durability. Perfect for industries requiring precise and consistent thermal performance.
What Are Ceramic Band Heaters?
Ceramic band heaters are industrial heating elements specifically designed to heat cylindrical surfaces like extruder barrels and injection moulding machines. These heaters combine ceramic insulation with nickel-chrome resistance wires, all encased in a durable metal sheath for excellent thermal performance and mechanical strength.
Key Construction Features
Ceramic Core: Interlocking ceramic tiles offer superior thermal insulation and withstand high temperatures.
Nickel-Chrome Wire: Helically wound resistance wire generates consistent heat and is embedded within the ceramic body.
Metal Sheath: Stainless steel or aluminized steel housing protects the inner components and distributes heat evenly.
Additional Insulation: Optional ceramic fiber layer reduces heat loss, improves efficiency, and enhances safety.
Applications Across Industries
Ceramic band heaters are widely used in:
Plastic Processing – Barrel heating in injection moulding and extrusion machines
Semiconductor Industry – Component heating in clean environments
Die Casting – Maintaining mold temperatures
Food Processing – Oven and equipment heating
Packaging Industry – Heat sealing in automated systems
General Industrial Use – Heating tanks, drums, and pipes
Design Options Available
Choose from a variety of custom features:
Hinged or split band types for easy installation
Flexible and elliptical shapes
Two or three heat zones
Built-in thermocouple holes or slots
Clamping options: Slide clips or separate bands
