L Shaped Square Cast In Barrel Heaters For Plastics Processing
Description
The “L” shape cast-in heater design is typically used on square and
rectangular extruder barrels,
Which utilize a twin screw design. In most cases,the high operating
temperatures in these applications require these cast-in heaters to
be constructed of a bronze alloy, however aluminum alloys are used
for applications which do not require the higher watt densities.
While the most common design for “L” shaped cast-in heaters
consists of heat only, they can be manufactured with cast-in
cooling tubes. Typical mounting options include manufacturing the
cast with 45°mounting flange which allows the cast-in heaters to be
bolted and drawn together on the barrel or the cast-in heater can
be supplied with mounting holes machined into the casting to mount
directly to the barrel. The most common electrical termination for
the “L” shape designs is a junction box mounted on to a vented
tower that extends from the body of the casting . The box has a
gasket for moisture resistance and can also be supplied with
explosion proof specifications. The junction box can also be cast
directly onto the heater. High temperature leadwire with a
heavy-duty bronze braid is also available upon request.
