CARTRIDGE HEATER

A Cartridge Heater is a type of electric heater designed to provide localized heat to a specific area, typically used in industrial applications. It is shaped like a cylindrical metal tube and is commonly used for inserting into holes or spaces in machines, molds, or other equipment where concentrated heat is needed.
Key features of a Rod Heater include:

Key Features of a Cartridge Heater include:

• Compact Design: Its small, cylindrical shape makes it ideal for installation in tight spaces or cavities.
• High Efficiency: It provides direct, focused heat in specific areas, making it efficient for industrial applications such as heating molds, dies, and pipes.
• Materials: The heating element is usually made of high-quality resistance wire, and it is surrounded by a metal sheath (typically stainless steel or Incoloy) for durability and heat conduction.
• Variety of Sizes and Wattages: Cartridge heaters are available in different diameters, lengths, and wattages to suit different applications.
• Temperature Control: Cartridge heaters can be equipped with built-in thermocouples for accurate temperature control, allowing precise management of the heating process.

Common Applications:

• Plastic molding: Used to heat molds in the plastic injection molding process.
• Heating systems: Used in water heaters, oil heaters, or other systems requiring focused heating.
• Tooling and machines: Used in various machinery that requires localized heating for efficient performance.

Cartridge heaters are highly durable and are designed for long-term use in a variety of high-temperature environments.
