Cast barrel heater for extrusion equipment.Cast-in heaters are manufactured for plastics extrusion Plastics extrusion is a high volume manufacturing process in which raw plastic material is melted and formed into a continuous profile. Extrusion produces items such as pipe/tubing, weather stripping, window frames, plastic sheeting, adhesive tape and wire insulation. equipment. These heaters, which also feature liquid or air cooling a. 1. In devices generating heat, such as gasoline-engine motor vehicles, the cooling of the device by increasing its radiating surface by means of ribs or radiators, and placing it so that it is exposed to a current of air. Cf. Water cooling. options, are primarily used as a high-performance heating and cooling source for plastics extruder barrels. Constructed of aluminum or bronze alloy, the cast-in heaters utilize a rugged tubular heating element Noun 1. heating element - the component of a heater or range that transforms fuel or electricity into heat bar - a heating element in an electric fire; "an electric fire with three bars" , uniformed for heat distributed evenly throughout the casting. The inner diameter is said to be precision machined for an exact fit to the exterior barrel. Various termination options are available for any extrusion application, including stud terminals with ceramic insulators, stainless steel stainless steel: see steel. stainless steel Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat. armor cable or explosion-proof housings. Cooling tube terminations include compression fittings Description Compression fittings are used in plumbing to join two tubes or thin-walled pipes together. In instances where two pipes made of dissimilar materials are to be joined, (most commonly PVC and copper), the fittings will also be made of one or more compatible materials and cast-in threaded fittings for quick insulation. Shroud assemblies with blowers are available for air-cooled fin designs. The firm also makes cast-in heaters for blow molding, insert molding and die heating. Kuntz Mfg. Circle 21 on card |
