Tubular Heater Main
Construction
Mold Heaters are custom made using .260", .315" or .375" diameter Incoloy® heating elements with threaded stud or lead wire
termination.
Important Information on Forming
Precise forming of the heater is required for it to seat properly into the milled slot in the mold. To insure this fit we normally use a template as an inspection tool in the forming process. This template is a reproduction of the milled slot in a plastic or aluminum plate, and can be customer supplied or manufactured by Tempco.
When ordering for new applications:
Supply a drawing or forming template if available.
When ordering for replacement:
Supply a sample heater and/or the dimensions of the groove.
Note: For heaters originally manufactured by Tempco only the Tempco Part Number is required.
Heat Transfer Cement
When tubular heating elements are used in a milled slot any air gaps between the element and the plate can cause hot spots on the element. Heat transfer cement is used to fill these air gaps, permitting the heater to run cooler thus maximizing its life expectancy. Cement is water soluble and can be applied with a putty knife or trowel and can be used in temperatures up to 1250°F (675°C).
