The Hottest Thing Around – TUTCO MI Better Band Heaters

Thinking Outside the Box-MI Better Band

Some applications may not require us to think too far outside the box. They may simply need a customizable band heater that can reach very high temperatures. This is common in plastic and polymer applications where heat plays a critical role in manufacturing and processing, such as extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, and thermoforming. Other industries, including food service, packaging, rubber processing, chemical processing, and scientific equipment manufacturing, also require band heaters that can maintain elevated temperatures. 

 TUTCO MI Better Band Heaters are suitable for any application requiring temperatures up to 1400°F (760°C), the highest temperature option in our offering. These heaters are available with inside diameters from 3/4” to 30”, widths of 3/4” to 6”, watt densities up to 80W/IN², and voltages up to 480 Volts (AC or DC). Termination options include S.S. screw terminals or leads with various protections like fiberglass sleeving, S.S. braid, or S.S. armor, positioned as desired on the band heater. Ground studs or wires can be added as options. We offer weld-on strap end or loose strap clamping, with choices for spring clamping or Belleville washer assemblies. Additional options include dual voltage, 3-phase voltage, terminal boxes, metric sizes, and other custom requests. If you need it hot, let us take care of your needs. If you have a demanding application and expect better performance from your band heater, look no further than TUTCO MI Better Band Heaters—the hottest thing around.
