Description

The THINBAND® heater is Watlow's patented redesign of the mica band. THINBAND heaters deliver fast and install easily, keeping costs down and machines running.

Features

 New flexible, one-piece design makes installation faster on plastic processing equipment because it can be opened to the full diameter of the barrel without internal damage to the heater. The THINBAND heater can be installed on a barrel without removing other band heaters already in place. Same-day shipment on more than 1000 variations of THINBAND lead attachments is due to Watlow's exclusive Lead Adaptor or LA manufacturing method. Customers can reduce inventories and costly downtime.
Only one set of leads or terminals is needed on the THINBAND heater, unlike the two sets required on the cumbersome two-piece replacement band heaters with straps.

Applications

• Extruders
• Blown film dies
• Injection molding machines
• Other cylinder heating applications
