Starflex Style Strip Heater
The Starflex style Strip Heater is designed for heavy duty applications and is the most rugged strip heater we offer. It uses a tubular heating element to provide excellent heat transfer and resistance to contamination, and its aluminum body allows for better conformity to slightly irregular surfaces.
The tubular elements are placed in a precisely extruded aluminum base. The aluminum body also serves as an excellent transfer medium for rapid heat-up while providing a uniform temperature throughout the entire heater.
Applications
Starflex strip heaters can be used in many different situations, including extrusion die heating, chemical processing, compression molding or any application involving vibration and the risk of contamination.
Features and Benefits
• Excellent heat distribution; rapid heat-up
• Various termination arrangements can be adapted to this heater style
• Rugged construction
• Long life due to tubular construction
• Excellent heat transfer with aluminum extrusion as transfer medium
