Designed For Trouble-Free Service

The Duraband heater design is the result of many years of research, development and testing for a reliable mica insulated band heater that can perform at the higher operating temperatures [up to 480 °C (900 °F)] essential to process high temperature resins, providing long, efficient service necessary for todays high productivity of plastic extruders, injection and blow molding machines.
Duraband is a proven heater design for good life efficiency and dependability. It assures maintaining the lowest winding temperatures possible, keeping a low-mass heating element assembly for fast heat-up and quick thermal response to controls. It incorporates the low thermal expansion built-in strap, a unique design feature.

Advantages and Variations

Duraband mica insulated heaters are widely used on operations involving heating of cylindrical surfaces and are manufactured in a full range of standard construction variations, physical dimensions, electrical ratings, and a complete arrangement of screw terminals and lead terminations.
However, these standard Duraband heater variations and terminations do not represent the full extent of our capabilities. OMEGAs engineering staff, with many years of experience in heat processing and temperature control applications, can assist you in designing the right Duraband heater for your specific application.

What is the minimum operational temperature of these band heaters? Our application requires use at -180C.

Asked by: SW001
The Band Heaters do not have a low temperature rating and use to -180C is not recommended and would void any warranty.

In the product details it says with 4 brackets these can be installed on 10.125" to 15" diameters. Can the MBH00141 be strapped onto a 14" diameter tube?

Asked by: Todd2021
Thank you for your inquiry. Heaters that use 4 brackets have a heater width of 7 to 10". Width and Diameter do not mean the same. The MBH00141 can handle a pipe diameter of 10" maximum.
