1. Aluminium Cast Electric Heating
Elements
One of the least known applications of Electricfor's
Electric Heating Elements, which is directly related
to ATEX certification in explosive environments,
is plastic injection.
HIGHER HEAT DISSIPATION
In this case we are talking about aluminium casted heating elements that ease heat
transmission and allow a higher load per cm², as they have a better heat dissipation.
Optionally, these heating elements, which are specially designed for explosive
environments and therefore ATEX-certified, can be equipped with cooling tubes
symmetrically arranged inside the heating element to provide uniform cooling
throughout the entire cast body.
DESIGN OPTIONS
Regarding their design options, the shapes can vary and be totally
customized according to the needs of each project. The L-shaped
design shown in the attached photo is normally used in square
and rectangular extrusion moulds.
In addition, clamps can be designed with external fins for faster
cooling.
OTHER APPLICATIONS
Other common applications for ATEX heaters casted in aluminium are:
- Amine gasifiers.
- Plastic extruders.
- Sealing machines.
- Chemical processes.
For further information about the application of this type of ATEX-certified electric heating elements,
please do not hesitate to contact Electricfor's sales department.
