Products for Plastics Processing Applications

Tempco Band Heaters

Band Heaters are used to heat (mostly) cylindrical surfaces and are available in several construction styles to perform under different operating environments.

Cast-In Heaters

Used in plastics processing, food warming, semiconductor manufacturing and other industries, Cast-In Thermal Components are available in aluminum and bronze alloys and are highly customizable.

Infrared Heaters

Infrared radiant heat energy can be delivered to concentrated areas at a very fast rate with individual heaters or heater arrays.

Cartridge Heaters

Typically inserted into drilled holes to heat platens and molds or used as liquid immersion heaters.

Strip Heaters

Used in the surface heating of tanks, as the heat source in industrial ovens and for heating air or other inert gases.

Shroud Systems

Our turnkey air-cooled shroud systems provide efficient heating and cooling of the barrels in plastic extruders.

Temperature Control

Standard & built-to-order products: Controllers, SCR Power Controllers, Thermostats & Relays. Power & Temperature Control Panels are built in our UL508A, UL698A & UL1203 cULus Certified Panel Shop.

Available in several diameters, lengths and sheath materials, these heaters can be formed into virtually any shape and can be brazed or welded to any metal surface. Choose specific application finned heaters or heaters for runnerless molds.

Coil and Cable Heaters

The flexibility of mineral insulated cable allows the Mightyband® heater to be coiled, formed, wrapped around pipes or used straight. It can also be cast into metal or welded onto machine component parts.

Drum Heaters

Speed the flow of solid and semi-solid materials inside your industrial drums with a drum heater from Tempco. We carry five drum heaters and offer two methods of heating the materials: immersion within the drum or heating from the outside of the drum.

Flexible Heaters

Capable of operating with excellent performance under many adverse conditions, the low thermal mass of flexible heaters allows their use in applications where the space for placing a heater is limited and weight is a concern.

Process Heaters

From basic liquid immersion heaters to highly engineered turnkey process heating systems, these heaters are designed to fit your manufacturing process.

Temperature Sensors

A variety of Thermocouple types including mineral insulated, multipoint, base and nobel metals; a variety of RTD types including accu-ohm, sanitary and melt bolt; General Purpose Thermistors and Sensor Accessories.

The processes in the plastics industry that transform raw plastics materials into finished products involve multiple methods including:

Injection Molding
Extrusion
Blow Molding
Thermoforming
Materials handling and preparation

Tempco understands the unique heating and cooling demands of each of these processes. We work with our customers to design and manufacture custom products that are ideal for the type and volume of the plastics parts that are being made. We have a collective knowledge of many aspects of the industry including the heating and/or cooling of:
