THINBAND® HEATERS
Heat and Sensor’s “Thinband®” heater is a unique redesign of the mica band heater. Thinband’s offer significant flexibility in a single piece barrel heater band construction that is capable of being opened to the full length of the band without causing damage to the internal heating element.
The Thinband’s unique flexible design and being able to open the band full length allows for easy installation that does not require removing downstream heater bands.
Thinband Applications: Extruders, Injection molding machines, Blown film dies, and other cylinder heating applications.
