Features
Our coil heaters, also known as nozzles, are designed to reach high temperatures on a reduced surface area through direct contact on parts with various shapes. Easy to install and uninstall, the spiral elements are perfectly sealed. Discover their characteristics, options, and detailed applications below.
General Characteristics

- Nickel-chrome coil in an Incoloy sheath (standard); also available in brass
- The coil can be round or flat (a flat coil ensures better heat transfer)
- Mini flat or round spiral elements are also available
Electrical Specifications and Dimensions
- Voltage: 120V to 600V single-phase
- Choice of lengths for heated and non-heated zones
- Wires with Teflon (standard) or fiberglass sheath
Options

- CSA & UL
Applications
Our coil heaters are ideal for various applications, such as:
- Molds for injection of thin-walled parts
- Packaging

Tips
1. Do not fold any area already folded and do not force the shaft into a bent position (cold part of the element).
2. A new straight fold needs to have a minimum ¼" radius (Folding too squarely could damage or break the element).
3. The coil heater needs to be positioned in perfect contact metal against metal with the part to be heated to avoid any air pockets that could easily burn the element.
