Design:-

Elmatic manufacture a large range of Mica heaters including mica bands, Mica nozzles, Mica Plates, Mica Discs, Mica Boxes, Mica 'U' Shapes, conical shapes, Mica Strips and many other shapes to our customers own requirements. The construction of a mica heater has long been recognised for it reliability and economy and continues to be one of the most popular contact heating elements. Elmatic use the best quality mica available, ensuring high dielectric strength and maximum heat transfer. Our specially treated sheath materials resist oxidation and enhance thermal conductivity.

All heaters are wound to computer designed specifications for superior heat uniformity. Full width, low expansion clamp bands are available for improved clamping allowing better heat transfer.

A variety of 'types of terminations' are available including standard glass fibre leads, armour braided cable, conduit, terminal boxes of all sizes, 2 pin and 3 pin European plugs and sockets. Thermocouple holes and slots need to be specified. Our own design metal clad insulation jackets are available upon request.
