Features

Mica heating plates are high-performing and reliable heating elements, designed to offer excellent thermal conductivity. They are manufactured to your specifications in our factory and can be customized to meet the specific needs of each project.

Technical Features

General Features:

  • The internal surface of the band is made of aluminized steel to ensure better heat conduction, while the external surface is made of stainless steel.
  • Standard thickness of 3/16'
  • Maximum operating temperature of 600 °F
  • Single-phase or three-phase

Optional Features:

  • Special configurations available: Triangular plates, trapezoidal plates, U-shaped plates, etc.
  • Pressure plates are available in thicknesses of 1/8', ¼' or ½' (to prevent the plate from warping with use). It is important to note that pressure plates also allow to increase the number of watts/sq in.
  • CSA & UL
  • Special cold parts
  • Thermocouple holes
  • Notches
  • Mounting holes
  • Irregular shaped holes
  • Insulating wool included as an option
  • Uniform heat (more density at the ends if needed)
  • Dual voltage if necessary
  • Also available with grounding and integrated thermocouple
  • With folded ends to prevent any contamination (Fold-over)

Applications

Common Applications

  • Heating of flat surface parts
  • Cooking and keeping food warm
  • Vulcanization
  • Heating of outdoor panels (strip heaters)
  • Heating cabinets
  • Packaging equipment and many other industrial applications

Tips

  1. The heated area has to be clean with no residue and have a flat surface.
  2. It is very important that the strip heater is installed in "sandwich" between 2 pressure strips or strongly tightened with a mounting screw to avoid the creation of air pockets between the strip heater and the pressure strips insure a better heat transmission Volton manufactures on demand those strips with the thickness you wish in order to incorporate them to your strip heaters.
  3. Verify the thickness of the strip heater on the heated area after the first heat and tighten again if needed.
