About Band Heaters
Band Heaters are devices used to provide localized heating of cylindrical objects such as pipes, drums, and tanks. They are typically made of a metal band that is wrapped around the object and heated using electricity or gas. Band Heaters come in various sizes and configurations to meet the needs of different applications.
Types of Band Heaters
Band heaters for pipes can be designed with an inner insulation layer to prevent heat loss from the pipe’s outer surface. Drum band heaters use a single-piece construction with a clamping system that allows it to be easily installed on the drum. Pipe band heaters are constructed with multiple layers of material, such as ceramic fiber insulation, metal sheathing, and heating elements.
How Band Heaters are Made
Band Heaters are usually made up of two main components: a metal band (usually stainless steel) which acts as an electrical conductor; and electric resistance coils which generate heat when energized by electricity. The electrical connections can be made through terminals or flexible leads depending on the application.
Industries that use Band Heaters
Band Heaters are widely used in many industries including plastics processing, food processing, packaging equipment manufacturing, medical device manufacturing, aerospace engineering, automotive engineering, HVAC systems installation and maintenance. Professionals in these fields use them for tasks such as melting plastic pellets before injection molding or preheating cylinders prior to welding.
