Wedge-locking Coil Heater for Injection Nozzle
Posted on 5/1/2008
Durex Industries introduces a mini coil heater with a unique clamping band which allows the heating element to maintain full clamping force at elevated temperatures.
Cary, IL – Unlike conventional cam-locking designs, this wedge-locking mechanism compensates for thermal expansion.
The tubular heating element is constructed in a rectangular profile to significantly increase surface contact of the heater and injection nozzle, resulting in a more efficient heat transfer.
A standard Allen wrench tightens the wedge lock clamping mechanism to user requirements, another advantage over the cam-locking designs.
Flexible element extensions terminate to Teflon® leadwires with moisture-resistant seals. Each coil heater is manufactured by Durex with a resistance tolerance of ±2%. Standard sizes in .750” I.D. and 1.20” length are in stock in various wattages and can be supplied with a Type J or K thermocouple.
