Strip heaters are used for various industrial applications from platen heating to air heating, there are two basicconstructions in strip heaters, Mica Insulated & Ceramic Insulated.
Mica Insulated Strip Heatersutilize the finest quality Mica & layers of muscovite as well as phlogobite micafor filling of layers, different high-grade alloys of resistance wire, and stainless steel sheathes. The propercomponents are selected and the heater is designed according to the requirements of each application.
Ceramic Insulated Channel
Strip Heatershave proven to be extremely efficient and dependable as a heatsource for
surface heating in hundreds of industrial and commercial applications.
The basic design consists of helically wound
resistance coil evenly strung through specially designed ceramicinsulators.
Resistance coil is mechanically connected to screw terminals or leadwires for
positive connection.Stainless steel Sheathing is used to house the heater
assembly. The rectangular tube gives full surface contactwhen used in a milled
slot to provide maximum heat transfer area. For surface mounting installations,
ChannelStrip heaters must be securely clamped along their entire length to a
smooth metal surface. When supported bymounting tabs, the terminal end should
be secured firmly. Opposite end should be loose to allow for thermalexpansion.

Finned Strip Heaters
Strip heaters can be finned to improve heat
transfer. The fins arespecially designed to provide maximum surface contact for
goodheat dissipation into the finned cross sections, thus resulting inrapid
heat transfer to the air.
