Cartridge Heaters

Cartridge heater is a type of resistance which is used for heating molds and presses. The production of those tubes is fulfilled by calibration after the insulation process on the outer tube sheath with magnesium oxide powder due to the wrapping of the equal rolled gaps around the ceramic stone.

The jaws of packaging machines are heated in these heaters. They are new generation resistance types that can also be used for heating water, oil, and corrosive liquids. In these products, mgo powder between the resistance wire and the tube sheath is thin. Thus, a fast and efficient heat can be obtained. Very little energy is spent for the heat obtained in such a short time thanks to Mgo powder. 

Cartridge type heater items with high Watt power provide a very strong heating performance in any environment and mold which has electrical heating. Therefore, cartridge heaters offer effective solutions in gaining the most effective heat under heavy working conditions.

In Which Areas Are Cartridge Heaters Used?

Advantages of Cartridge Heaters

• Low Maintenance Requirement: Cartridge heaters generally require low maintenance. They can be easily cleaned and offer long-lasting performance with regular maintenance.
• Flexibility: Cartridge heaters can operate over a wide temperature range, making them versatile for various industrial applications and environmental conditions.
• Safety: Being powered by electricity, cartridge heaters are generally a safer heating solution. They are safer in areas where flammable gases or liquids are present.
• Accurate and Homogeneous Heating: Cartridge heaters provide homogeneous heating across the material. This enhances product quality and process efficiency.
• Environmentally Friendly: Cartridge heaters are a heating solution that produces less waste and fewer pollutants. They have a lower environmental impact since they do not use fuel.
• Compact Design: Cartridge heaters typically have a compact design, which saves space and increases installation flexibility.

Technical Considerations for Selection of Cartridge Heaters

• Power (Wattage): It is important for the heater's power to match the application requirements. Adequate power ensures reaching the desired temperature levels.
• Voltage: The heater should be compatible with the voltage of the electrical system it will be used with. Incorrect voltage levels can affect the heater's performance.
• Material: The choice of heater material should be based on the intended use and operating conditions. Nickel-chromium alloy is commonly preferred.
• Operating Temperature: The maximum operating temperature of the heater should be suitable for the application requirements. A heater capable of meeting the desired temperature range should be selected.
• Dimensions: The length, diameter, and shape of the heater should be suitable for the installation area and application requirements. Dimensions should be appropriate for the available space.
• Heat Distribution: It is important for the heater to distribute heat evenly. Good heat distribution helps achieve the desired temperature profiles.
• Protection Systems: Some heater models come with protection systems for situations such as overheating or overcurrent. Such features are important for safety and longevity.
• Application Area: The environmental characteristics where the heater will be used should be considered during the selection process. For example, industrial environments may require more durable and high-performance heaters.
• Lifespan and Maintenance Ease: A long lifespan and ease of maintenance are preferred for heaters. Heaters with a long lifespan and low maintenance requirements can reduce operating costs.
