Band Heater Mica-Insulated

Band Heater Mica-insulated is a type of industrial electrical heating element to provide uniform heat to cylindrical surfaces, such as pipes, nozzles, barrels, and other types of processing equipment. These heaters are made by winding a resistance wire (usually nickel-chrome or kanthal) around a mica sheet, which is then enclosed in a metal sheath.

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Contruction:

• Mica Insulation: Mica is a mineral known for its excellent electrical and thermal insulation properties. It is used as an insulating material between the heating element and the outer sheath.
• Metal Sheath: The mica assembly is encased in a metal sheath, often made of stainless steel or other heat-resistant alloys, which protects the heating element from external damage and provides mechanical support.

2. Uniform Heating:

Mica band heaters are designed to provide uniform heat distribution around the circumference of the cylindrical surface. This ensures efficient and consistent heating of the target object.

3. High Temperature Range:

Mica band heaters can operate at high temperatures, making them suitable for applications where elevated temperatures are required for processes such as molding, extrusion, and plastic processing.

4. Customizable:

These heaters are highly customizable in terms of size, wattage, voltage, and configuration. They can be tailored to fit specific industrial equipment and requirements.

 

 

 

 

1. Design and Preparation

• Design Specifications: Determine the dimensions, power rating, voltage, and temperature requirements based on the application.
• Material Preparation: Acquire mica sheets, nichrome wire, metal sheath, insulating material, terminal blocks, screws, and bolts.

2. Winding the Heating Element

• Winding Process: Wind the nichrome wire evenly and tightly around the mica strips, ensuring uniform spacing and tight winding.
• Even Heating: Proper winding density guarantees even heating across the surface of the band heater.

3. Assembling Components

• Mica and Nichrome Assembly: Place the wound mica strips with the nichrome wire inside the metal sheath securely.
• Secure Fastening: Use screws and bolts to secure the ends of the mica strips and the nichrome wire, preventing movement during operation.

4. Insulation and Enclosure

• Insulating Material: Fill the space between the nichrome wire and the metal sheath with high-temperature insulating material, ensuring electrical insulation.
• Sealing: Seal the ends of the metal sheath tightly to prevent moisture and contaminants from entering the band heater.

5. Terminal Connections and Testing

• Electrical Connections: Connect the ends of the nichrome wire to terminal blocks securely, using appropriate wiring and insulation.
• Testing: Test the band heater’s resistance and heating performance, ensuring it heats up uniformly and reaches the desired temperature.

6. Quality Control

• Quality Checks: Inspect for defects, loose connections, or poor insulation. Perform visual inspections and electrical tests.
