DALTON ELECTRIC HEATING CO.
, INC.
Watt-Flex split-sheath cartridge heaters with continuous coil provide uniform temperature profile, often eliminating need for distributed wattage. Because unit has no coil segments and cold spots typical of conventional heaters, it is particularly suited for package and bag sealing bars. Hot-tip feature, accomplished by passing the coil across the tip of the heater, improves performance of sheet extrusion die or hot-runner gate probe by putting more responsive heat in the lip of the die or tip of the probe.
Independent, bilateral expansion of the two legs effects contact of both sides of the sheath to a bore, providing better heat transfer and consequently a cooler-running coil (longer heater life). As heater is de-energized, it contracts, making heater removal easier and eliminating bore seizure. Grooved heaters externally accommodate needle-type thermocouples, which monitor process temperature, not internal coil temperature.
Design allows independent replacement of thermocouple or heater. DELTA MANUFACTURING CO., INC.
