Product Description

Square cartridge heaters are ideal for milled slots in long platens where drilling a long hole is difficult and more costly. The heaters are easier to remove from a slot after extended hot temperature process conditions as compared to removing a round cartridge heater from a drilled hole.

Common Applications

  • Bag Sealing
  • Plastic Forming Bars
  • Platen Heating

  • Cutting Jaws

Our Manufacturers

Backer Marathon

Backer Marathon square cartridge heaters come in sizes of 0.375,”0.500” and 0.625”. They are swaged construction, allowing usage at elevated temperatures and high watt density applications. They are the ideal solution for heating long platens with milled slots where drilling a round hole is difficult and costly.

Tempco

TEMPCO Low Density Square Cartridge Heaters allow more contact per linear inch than cylindrical cartridge heaters, for greater heat transfer to the sur-rounding medium. Inserted in a milled slot they permit greater heater lengths than would be possible with a drilled hole.
