SmartHeat™ Coating Optimize your process, performance and quality with an innovative integrated melt stream heating system from the field’s leader in barrel, nozzle and melt pipe technology Benefits Significantly reduce material defects and improve quality with unique integrated heating technology that provides precise and rapid temperature control. Low-profile stainless steel threaded electrical connections Increase energy savings by 30—60% compared to typical band heaters. Reduce downtime by eliminating the need to replace or maintain typical band heater installations. Greater operator safety with “cool to the touch” feature. Uniform heater coating is less than 2mm (0.080”) thick Features Advanced thermal insulation provided with SmartHeat™ Coating includes easy to use mounting system Plasma-sprayed metallized-ceramic surface providing non-stick surfaces. Integrated heating system is part of barrel eliminating exposed wires. Use of standard thermocouple for easy installation. Nordson XALOY is one of world’s leading manufacturers of components and melt delivery systems for injection and extrusion machinery, offering the highest quality in bimetallic barrels, high performance screws, preassembled plasticating systems, heat transfer rolls, melt pumps, screen changers, pelletizers, cleaning ovens, and advanced process testing and training services. The technical leadership and personal service is backed by decades of engineering, material, process and application experience. Nordson XALOY has the integrated engineered solutions to optimize processes, combat wear, boost output, improve and maintain quality, whether it is designing single components or integrating elaborate systems. The SmartHeat™ Coating for barrels, nozzles and melt pipes is Nordson XALOY’s advanced new technology that virtual eliminates melt-stream energy losses. SmartHeat™ Coating uses an exceptionally robust ‘‘heater coating’’ plasma-sprayed to the exterior surface of the barrel and an optional high efficiency thermal insulation, ensuring uniform heat end to end. SmartHeat™ Coating offers any processor superior advantages over conventional heater band technology. Advanced thermal insulation SmartHeat™ Coating designed with compact oxidation-resistant nickel-plated terminals and ceramic insulating caps provide lifetime reliability

SmartHeat™ Coating Case Study While benefits from SmartHeat™ Coating will vary with each application, in a commercial-scale trial run at a processor in Texas working with Nordson XALOY, the SmartHeat™ Coating helped them achieve increased energy savings and improved quality, making possible energy savings that paid for the SmartHeat™ Coating within 12 months. While using this same benchmark data ROI results are shown for the Midwest and Northern USA.
