General Description: Glenn mica type heaters are designed as a practical method of heat transfer for a wide range of industrial heating applications. Glenn light weight mica type heaters respond rapidly to control and operate at high efficiency.
Glenn mica insulated heaters are constructed of nickel-chrome ribbon type resistance wire wound uniformly around the core and insulated by select quality mica, then encased in a thin metal sheath of rust resistant steel for operation at a maximum temperature of 750 deg. F. Special sheath materials are available for higher operating temperatures, limited by maximum sheath temperatures up to 1000 deg.
There are various options available, including several terminal constructions and arrangements, special cut-outs and gaps to provide for unusual mounting or control requirements. Design variations are available to meet the most unique applications. Typical Applications: Glenn mica type strip heaters are adaptable for use in drying and baking ovens, or clamped to surfaces for heating tanks, rolls, dies, platens, hot plates, and sealing equipment.
Glenn mica type band heaters are widely used in the barrel heating of plastic extrusion and injection molding machines and other cylindrical surfaces.
