ALUMA-FLEX BAND HEATERS
 The element utilized in the Aluma-Flex Band Heater
is the highly efficient, rugged, long lasting tubular heater
pressed in a grooved aluminum extrusion. The combination of the
tubular heater in exact contact with the excellent thermal conducting
aluminum extrusion create a quick responding band heater with
uniform sheath temperatures for precise process heating. With
the termination a significant distance from the part being heated
and no other place for contaminants to enter, the Aluma-Flex
is virtually indestructible. A low expansion alloy strap with
mounting hardware allows the assembly to be tightly drawn to
the part to be heated. With sheath temperatures to 650 F
attainable, the Aluma-Flex Band Heater is ideal for use on barrels
of plastic extruders, injection molding machines, dies and die
heads of extruders and blow molding equipment, or, within temperature
limitations, any cylindrical surface.
