Precision 3.5mm Flexible Tubular Heater For Hot Runner Systems Easy To Bend & Shape
Product Overview
Our 3.5mm Precision Flexible Tubular Heaters are specifically designed for high-performance hot runner manifold systems. Engineered with a unique flexible outer sheath, these heaters can be manually or mechanically bent into complex two-dimensional or three-dimensional grooves. The double-end terminal design ensures easy wiring and balanced electrical distribution in tight industrial spaces.
Key Features
-
Ultra-Slim 3.5mm Profile: The compact diameter allows for installation in narrow manifold grooves, providing concentrated heat where it’s needed most.
-
Superior Flexibility: Can be easily shaped to fit any contour without damaging the internal heating element or insulation.
-
Double-Ended Lead Exit: Features power connections at both ends of the heater, simplifying circuit layouts in complex mold designs.
-
Maximum Thermal Contact: The flexible nature ensures a 360-degree snug fit within the groove, resulting in exceptional heat transfer and shorter cycle times.
-
Robust Construction: Built with high-quality stainless steel and premium MgO insulation for long-term stability under high-temperature conditions.
