Ogden MI Band Heaters

Product Overview

Rugged construction along with high temperature and high watt density capabilities allow the Mighty-Tuff Band Heater to surpass all other band heaters in providing the ever increasing temperatures required for processing today's high tech materials.

Specifications

The advanced design and thin profile allow the quick transfer of heat from the element to the sheath for efficient operation to 1400 F sheath temperature. Watt densities as high as 200 watts per square inch on small diameters and 100 watts per square inch on larger diameters are possible. The Mighty-Tuff can stand up to shock, vibration and many contaminants long after standard band heaters have failed. In normal use, or in the most difficult application, the Mighty-Tuff will improve machine productivity by improving band heater performance.

Stainless Steel Sheath to resist oxidation
Capable of operating up to 1400 F Sheath Temperature
Highest possible application temperatures
Over 200 watts per square inch capacity
Thin profile (3/16") for rapid response

Terminations

High Temperature Leads
12" long 850°F/450°C insulated lead wires are standard. Specify longer length. Also available with full length fiberglass sleeving.

Armor Cable Leads
Armor cable is the best protection for abrasion. 12" cable and 14" overall leads are standard.

Metal Braided Leads
Double conductor metal braid provides excellent abrasion protection and flexibility. Standard Length is 12" braid with 14" overall lead wires. Specify additional length if required. Type P and Type R are available without metal braid.

Post Terminals

Type SG: Terminals at gap. Minimum width - 2"
Type SH: Terminals 180° from gap. Also available with 2" H x 1-1/2" W x 2"L terminal box.

Hole or Cut-Out
Mighty-Tuff Band Heaters can be manufactured with thermocouple holes, slots or notches. Consult Proheat.

Mighty-Tuff with Insulated Shroud
Mighty-Tuff Band Heaters are available with an insulated shroud. Similar in effect to Ceramic Band Heaters, heat losses to the environment are greatly reduced. However, because of the thin profile and compressed design, the Mighty-Tuff transfers heat to the cylinder rapidly. The Insulated Mighty-Tuff is also much less susceptible to the problem of contamination than a Ceramic Band Heater. Consult Proheat or information and designs based upon a specific requirement.
