Zoppas Industries Heating Element Technologies CERAMIC BAND HEATERS These heaters are made up of a spiral in NiCr 80/20 or FeCrAl alloy inserted in steatite modular elements, while the outer casing is made of sheet Alusi or, upon request, stainless steel. Thanks to the thermal transmission mode by irradiation, ceramic bands are the optimal heating solution for high power installations and can reach up to 450° C measured temperature on ceramic/cylinder contact surfaces. The glass fibre insulation that wraps the ceramic mat has the dual function of limiting the temperature of the outer casing,...

MICA BAND HEATERS CAST-IN ALUMINIUM TUBULAR HEATER FOR HEATING/COOLING Consisting of an NiCr plate wrapped and insulated from appropriate supports in mica. The outer casing, usually made of sheet Alusi, is also made of stainless steel on request. Compared to ceramic band heaters, those with mica insulation work by conduction, maximising their efficiency and reliability at temperatures up to 350° C, measured on mica/cylinder contact surfaces and with specific loads up to 4W/cm². The manufacturing technology with which they are produced and the quality of the materials used make these heaters particularly...

COMPLETE SYSTEMS FOR HEATING AND FORCED AIR COOLING Known as Ultrawatt, high density cartridges are characterised by extreme versatility and precision of the thermal profile combined with high performance. in that they can reach temperatures up to 750° C or specific loads in the order of 40 W/cm2. The most common construction is with a straight, or 90° exit, and metal sheath to protect the cables at high temperatures. The sheath material used is mainly AISI 321, but, on specific customer request or according to particular temperature regimes, other steel alloys are also used. They are further...

MICA NOZZLE BANDS MI NOZZLES These are special mica bands made of stainless steel. The firmly welded cover with which they are equipped makes them particularly well suited to heating the press nozzles, ensuring their protection against pollution by material; typical problems of the injection head. Operating limit temperature is 350° C standard, with specific loads of around 6W/cm². On request and under certain working conditions, versions can be made for higher temperatures, up to a ceiling of 450° C. Customisations can also include the use of integrated thermocouples and accessories such as...

Zoppas Industries Heating Element Technologies BANDS FOR REDUCED-FOOTPRINT NOZZLE These are mica bands, generally made of sheet Alusi, and protected with a steel belt guard, the wires of which exit axially from the heater thickness. Their small size allows these bands to be ideally suited to moulds and hot runners. Maximum operating temperature proven at 350° C, with specific loads of around 6W/cm2. Power is supplied using two single-pole cables which are armoured against high temperatures. The construction standard is shown in this drawing: Zoppas Industries Heating Element Technologies, through...
