ADVANTAGES
- Built in insulation minimizes unwanted change in temperature along the barrel
- Heat transfers through radiation, conduction, and convection, so a perfect fit is not required compared to other band heaters
- Heat transfers are not affected by irregular surfaces or a loose fit
- Because they operate at higher watt densities, they can be used in wider increments
- The number of bands used can be reduced with simplified wiring
- The heater is safer with the cooler external surface – over other band heaters
- The flexible design allows easy install and removal

Installation Instructions
-
Pre-Installation Check:
-
Verify the heater’s specifications (voltage, wattage, and material) against your application requirements.
-
Ensure the power supply matches the heater’s rating.
-
Inspect the heater for any physical damage before installation.
-
-
Mounting the Heater:
-
For threaded models, securely screw the heater into the tank fitting (BSP/NPT thread).
-
For flanged models, align and bolt the heater onto the tank flange, ensuring a proper gasket is used to prevent leaks.
-
Ensure the heater is fully submerged in the liquid before turning it on to prevent dry firing.
-
-
Electrical Connections:
-
Connect the heater to a properly rated power supply using appropriate wiring.
-
Ensure proper grounding to prevent electrical hazards.
-
Use a thermostat or temperature controller for precise temperature regulation.
-
-
Safety Checks Before Operation:
-
Double-check all wiring connections.
-
Verify that the heater is fully immersed in the medium.
-
Ensure that over-temperature protection devices (thermal cutoffs, thermostats) are installed and functional.
-
Turn on the heater and monitor for stable operation.
-
Maintenance Guidelines
-
Regular Inspections:
-
Periodically check for any physical damage, corrosion, or scaling on the heater surface.
-
Inspect electrical connections for loose or damaged wires.
-
-
Cleaning the Heater:
-
If scale buildup is observed, clean the heater using appropriate descaling chemicals or mechanical cleaning methods.
-
For oil applications, clean residues with a non-flammable solvent.
-
-
Checking Temperature Controls:
-
Ensure that thermostats and controllers are calibrated correctly.
-
Test safety devices, including thermal cutoffs and limit switches, to prevent overheating.
-
-
Preventing Dry Firing:
-
Always ensure the heater is submerged before turning it on.
-
Use liquid level sensors to prevent operation in dry conditions.
-
-
Replacement & Repairs:
-
If the heater shows excessive wear or damage, replace it immediately.
