Ultima Band Heaters

The TUTCO Ultima Band Heater is designed for exceptional durability, making it one of the most rugged band heaters on the market. Its tubular heating element ensures consistent heat distribution at medium to high temperatures while offering superior resistance to contamination, corrosion, and vibration. Built with a heavy-duty stainless steel sheath and precision-welded end caps, the Ultima Band Heater is engineered to withstand extreme conditions. This robust stainless steel construction prevents distortion and deformation, common issues with other band heaters when exposed to higher temperatures.
