Cartridge Heater
Cartridge Heater
Cartridge Heater is a device used for heating by converting electrical energy into heat. It works by using a conductor with high resistance, which generates heat when an electrical current passes through it. The cartridge heater typically has a cylindrical shape and can be bent for ease of use. It is wrapped with a heat-conductive material that is also an electrical insulator to prevent electrical leakage from the heater. Cartridge heaters are commonly used in various industries, such as heating in molds, shaping workpieces, or heating in specific areas where high temperatures are required in confined spaces.
Industries That Use Cartridge Heaters
Cartridge heaters are widely used in industries that require heat in their production processes or for specific operations, such as:
- Plastic Manufacturing Industry
Cartridge heaters are used for heating in plastic molding processes, such as heating molds to form plastic parts, drying plastic, and sealing products. - Food and Beverage Industry
Used for baking and heating tools in food production, such as sealing bags, packaging products, and sealing bottle caps for beverages. - Rubber Manufacturing Industry
Used for heating rubber to soften it for mixing chemicals or applying high heat for molding rubber into various products. Cartridge heaters help in chemical processes and in heating for controlling chemical reactions. - Metal and Steel Industry
Cartridge heaters are used for heating metals (annealing) at moderate temperatures before further shaping or processing. - Machine Manufacturing Industry
Used in machines that require heating for the production of items such as bag sealing machines, plastic molding machines, and hot stamping equipment.
Features of Cartridge Heaters
- Available in two types: High Density and Low Density
- Can achieve high temperatures depending on the wattage of the heater
- The heater casing is made of stainless steel 304
- Can embed a thermocouple for temperature measurement
- Available in various wattages to suit different applications
Applications of Cartridge Heaters
Cartridge heaters are used to heat molds in plastic molding processes, such as molds made of steel, aluminum, or brass.
Precautions When Using Cartridge Heaters
- Ensure the heaters size matches the size of the mold or hole. The fit should not be too loose.
- For temperatures above 150°C, it is recommended to use High Density cartridge heaters, as they can provide higher heat and have a longer lifespan.
