Ceramic Band Heaters

Ceramic band heaters are designed with spirally wound inner resistance coils evenly threaded through interlocking insulated ceramic tiles. The ceramic core, or mat of tiles is housed beneath a stainless-steel sheet with serrated edges. The notched edges fold over to secure the ends and a protective inner liner (to be removed at installation) secures the placement of the tiles. This combined assembly of the Ceramic Band Heater offers a flexible heating system that yields efficient transmission of conduction and radiated heat.

The MI band heater from Watlow is a high-performance heater. The band heater's performance and name are derived from Watlow's exclusive mineral insulation - a material with much higher thermal conductivity than mica and hard ceramic insulators used in conventional heaters. A thin layer of the high thermally conductive MI material is used to electrically insulate the element wire from the inside diameter of the heater sheath. A thicker, low thermally conductive layer backs up the element wire directing the heat inward toward the part being heated.
