Nexthermal coil heaters are the number one choice among US Hot Runner
Injection Molding OEMs. Nexthermal coil heaters and coil heater assemblies are
also the heater of choice for many leading scientific measurement, diagnostic and
test OEMs worldwide. To further demonstrate the coil heater's flexibility of use,
emerging markets include form fill and seal packaging, top seal packaging,
rubber injection molding, liquid heating, electric vehicle systems and medical
equipment.
While many believe the name “coil heater” is derived from common winding patterns to heat
nozzles, the name is actually related to the internally spiraled resistance wire. This coiled
resistance wire greatly increases the watt density a coil heater can carry on the surface of the
heater.
Customers have found the ability to concentrate heat specifically where it is required reduces
cycle time, improves quality, and expands the capability and accuracy of their equipment.
What makes a coil heater unique?
10/24/11
Form in groove capabilities…
Highly annealed, the coil heater can be formed to hold shape or
formed into a slot or groove. Coil heaters have been embedded and
cast into functional components to provide protection from cold, or to
apply process heat at a critical stage.
Nexthermal coil heater “profiles”…height and width of a cross section
…are designed to provide the engineer with options to meet size
limitations, better hold form, and concentrate heat in a specific area.
10/24/11
mini coil heater
Precise, flexible and moisture resistant…
As OEM engineers face continual pressure to reduce space claim, Nexthermal is
responding with advancement of mini coil technology. The Nexthermal mini coil
heater contains a precisely wound resistance wire to maximize watt density
capability.
The mini coil is extremely flexible, reduces required installation area, and the
standard transition head construction is highly moisture resistant. Staggering
transition heads allows for smaller wire channel dimensions.
While originally designed for the Hot Runner Injection Molding industry, mini coil heaters
are used in a wide range of markets including, high temperature simulation, packaging,
component level deicing, and medical device. Given its precision and flexibility of installation,

coil heater embedded in brass
Utilizing the three dimensional flexibility of Nexthermal coil heaters is likely much easier than you think. We
welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific application and design objectives.
Extending and refining coil heater performance…
Nexthermal has developed coil heaters and mini coil heaters embedded in brass for the hot runner injection
molding, measurement, analysis, and packaging markets.
Traditionally this type of heater would be “cast in brass.” The embedded in brass heater provided more
precise repeatability of winding profile, and longer thermocouple life due to the elimination of molten brass
temperatures during the casting process.
For demanding applications, the embedded in brass design also facilitates precise thermocouple placement.
Originally designed to accommodate higher temperature applications to 650C, the embedded in brass design is
creating new opportunity to heat difficult three dimensional applications, small space claim and thin faced packaging
jaws, and hole punch applications.

options
Pressed on sheath (with and without tab)
A pressed on sheath ensures the best heat transfer, and is 20% more efficient in most injection molding applications. Recommended for
operating temperatures exceeding 600F and inside diameters greater than 1''. Our tab option precisely locates and holds heater in place.
Moisture resistance transition head
Nexthermal has developed a highly moisture resistant transition head construction further improving durability in high humidity and washdown
applications — reducing the need for soft starts. This head also protects against oil ingress and other contaminants.
Compact coil heater head 5.5mm
In response to emerging requirements for smaller space claim in wire channels, Nexthermal has developed a compact 5.5mm diameter coil
heater head that is just 15mm long without compromising dielectric strength.
Thermocouple options
Nexthermal coil heaters can be built with an integrated Type J or Type K thermocouple. Mini coil heaters can be designed with an external
thermocouple wound with no net impact to the OD of the heater. Other external TC options are available.
Pressed in brass
Nexthermal’s process of embedding coil heaters into machined brass components delivers strong life at high temperatures. Precise repeatable
thermal profiles, 8% faster heat up and recovery times, improved TC performance and shorter lead times compared to cast in brass heaters.
Form in groove and three dimensional heating
Coil and mini coil heater’s precise OD tolerance and annealing process are ideal attributes to form into a machined groove. To engineers and
designers this means that a structural component could be developed into a three dimensional heater without greatly affecting space claim.

density heaters can be built to your specifications from 1" long to over 100". Warranted to 160 watts per square inch.
Both high watt and medium watt construction can be built as an energy saving eheat cartridge heater.
Medium watt density heaters
The medium watt density heater has a continuous resistance spiral throughout the heater delivering unparalleled
reliability. For longer heaters there are fewer internal electrical connections. Medium watt density heaters start at 8" long,
and can be built to over 100". Warranted to 65 watts per square inch.
10/24/11
cartridge heater performance options
Distributed Wattage
Nexthermal has developed industry specific winding profiles to improve thermal profiles
including packaging, rubber and injection molding. We have also successfully developed
OEM specific winding profiles to compensate for challenging heater placement.
Moisture Resistance
If your application requires wash down, has high amounts of humidity in the ambient
air, or has machining oil nearby — Nexthermal has a wide range of options to deliver
moisture resistance at your operating temperature.
Anti-Seize Coating
Building a heater that lasts longer can make removal more difficult when a heater
must be replaced. Removal labor often costs more than the heater itself. Nexthermal
in-house anti-seize coating is a cost effective option that can be added without
impacting delivery.
Removal Aids
Nexthermal offers knock out tabs and other removal aids that allow you to quickly and
confidently remove a heater when it is time to replace it. Knock out tabs are
recommended when you are installing the heater in a through bore prone to oxidation.
10/24/11
Right Angle Exit
Nexthermal has redesigned the right angle exit with flat sides, making it possible to use a
wrench to precisely position lead exit and break oxidation bonds when removing a heater.
Right Angle Block
The Right Angle Block has flat sides and substantial material to provide the strength needed
for highly corrosive environments such as die casting — where the heater sheath can be
bonded to the bore.
Standard Flanges, Special Flanges and NPT
If your application calls for specific insertion depth, or must be held in place — Nexthermal
offers standard flanges for most diameters. We can also design special flanges for your
application. NPT fittings can be added to your cartridge heater.
Centerless Grind Tolerance
Nexthermal’s standard tolerance of ±.002" compares favorably to other cartridge heaters. If
heat transfer is critical to your application, Nexthermal offers premium centerless grind
tolerances that are ±.0008".
10/24/11

eheat cartridge heaters improve performance
and efficiency
Nexthermal eheat cartridge heaters are constructed with a special high thermal transfer sheath material that
creates a fast responding, longer lasting, more energy efficient heater.
At the same rated wattage, Nexthermal eheat cartridge heaters have measured up to 25% improved energy
efficiency over traditional build cartridge heaters.
Nexthermal eheat Cartridge heaters are the fast responding, energy efficient and direct replacements for
your existing cartridge heaters. 
Extend the capabilities of your existing system with eheat cartridge heaters, or develop around its strengths
to bring smart heat management capabilities to your market.
Nexthermal eheat cartridge heaters:
The high thermal transfer sheath results in a heater that can perform the same work with fewer watts - saving
energy and reducing total system amperage.
For higher watt density applications such as hot glue systems, the eheat delivers heat to the application
faster, resulting in more heat delivered with a lower heater core temperature. This extends heater life.
Nexthermal eheat cartridge heaters reach set point faster, and can reduce cycle times of demanding

Nextflex heaters are simple and efficient
Efficient to Install
Best Practices
Nextflex tools reduce installation time and eliminate the need for additional retention methods.
Form the first bend at center location prior to striking.
Making sure heater is directly above the groove, strike with Teflon® side of Nextflex forming tool. One hard strike is
better than two soft ones.
When bending, make sure the Nextflex tool handle is parallel with the uninstalled Nextflex. This puts the minimum
bending radius protection in the correct position.
Strike the Nextflex staking tool hard every 20mm (~.75"). This creates a firmly seated heater with excellent heat
transfer.
The first 10mm (~.40") after the connection area should always be straight.
For optimal heat transfer, it is best to stake the Nextflex after assembly approximately every 20mm (~.75") into the
groove.
For bending the Nextflex we recommend our Nextflex toolset. This will allow the Nextflex to be seated optimally
into the groove, resulting in maximum heat transfer.

    10/24/11 Nexthermal coil heatersare the number one choice among US Hot Runner Injection Molding OEMs. Nexthermal coil heaters and coil heater assemblies are also the heater of choice for many leading scientific measurement, diagnostic and test OEMs worldwide. To further demonstrate the coil heater's flexibility of use, emerging markets include form fill and seal packaging, top seal packaging, rubber injection molding, liquid heating, electric vehicle systems and medical equipment. While many believe the name “coil heater” is derived from common winding patterns to heat nozzles, the name is actually related to the internally spiraled resistance wire. This coiled resistance wire greatly increases the watt density a coil heater can carry on the surface of the heater. Customers have found the ability to concentrate heat specifically where it is required reduces cycle time, improves quality, and expands the capability and accuracy of their equipment. What makes a coil heater unique?

    10/24/11 coil heater embeddedin brass Utilizing the three dimensional flexibility of Nexthermal coil heaters is likely much easier than you think. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific application and design objectives. Extending and refining coil heater performance… Nexthermal has developed coil heaters and mini coil heaters embedded in brass for the hot runner injection molding, measurement, analysis, and packaging markets. Traditionally this type of heater would be “cast in brass.” The embedded in brass heater provided more precise repeatability of winding profile, and longer thermocouple life due to the elimination of molten brass temperatures during the casting process. For demanding applications, the embedded in brass design also facilitates precise thermocouple placement. Originally designed to accommodate higher temperature applications to 650C, the embedded in brass design is creating new opportunity to heat difficult three dimensional applications, small space claim and thin faced packaging jaws, and hole punch applications.

    10/24/11 Coil heater Performance options Pressedon sheath (with and without tab) A pressed on sheath ensures the best heat transfer, and is 20% more efficient in most injection molding applications. Recommended for operating temperatures exceeding 600F and inside diameters greater than 1''. Our tab option precisely locates and holds heater in place. Moisture resistance transition head Nexthermal has developed a highly moisture resistant transition head construction further improving durability in high humidity and washdown applications — reducing the need for soft starts. This head also protects against oil ingress and other contaminants. Compact coil heater head 5.5mm In response to emerging requirements for smaller space claim in wire channels, Nexthermal has developed a compact 5.5mm diameter coil heater head that is just 15mm long without compromising dielectric strength. Thermocouple options Nexthermal coil heaters can be built with an integrated Type J or Type K thermocouple. Mini coil heaters can be designed with an external thermocouple wound with no net impact to the OD of the heater. Other external TC options are available. Pressed in brass Nexthermal’s process of embedding coil heaters into machined brass components delivers strong life at high temperatures. Precise repeatable thermal profiles, 8% faster heat up and recovery times, improved TC performance and shorter lead times compared to cast in brass heaters. Form in groove and three dimensional heating Coil and mini coil heater’s precise OD tolerance and annealing process are ideal attributes to form into a machined groove. To engineers and designers this means that a structural component could be developed into a three dimensional heater without greatly affecting space claim.

    10/24/11 cartridge heater performanceoptions Distributed Wattage Nexthermal has developed industry specific winding profiles to improve thermal profiles including packaging, rubber and injection molding. We have also successfully developed OEM specific winding profiles to compensate for challenging heater placement. Moisture Resistance If your application requires wash down, has high amounts of humidity in the ambient air, or has machining oil nearby — Nexthermal has a wide range of options to deliver moisture resistance at your operating temperature. Anti-Seize Coating Building a heater that lasts longer can make removal more difficult when a heater must be replaced. Removal labor often costs more than the heater itself. Nexthermal in-house anti-seize coating is a cost effective option that can be added without impacting delivery. Removal Aids Nexthermal offers knock out tabs and other removal aids that allow you to quickly and confidently remove a heater when it is time to replace it. Knock out tabs are recommended when you are installing the heater in a through bore prone to oxidation.

    10/24/11 Right Angle Exit Nexthermalhas redesigned the right angle exit with flat sides, making it possible to use a wrench to precisely position lead exit and break oxidation bonds when removing a heater. Right Angle Block The Right Angle Block has flat sides and substantial material to provide the strength needed for highly corrosive environments such as die casting — where the heater sheath can be bonded to the bore. Standard Flanges, Special Flanges and NPT If your application calls for specific insertion depth, or must be held in place — Nexthermal offers standard flanges for most diameters. We can also design special flanges for your application. NPT fittings can be added to your cartridge heater. Centerless Grind Tolerance Nexthermal’s standard tolerance of ±.002" compares favorably to other cartridge heaters. If heat transfer is critical to your application, Nexthermal offers premium centerless grind tolerances that are ±.0008".

    10/24/11 Nextflex heaters aresimple and efficient Efficient to Install Best Practices Nextflex tools reduce installation time and eliminate the need for additional retention methods. Form the first bend at center location prior to striking. Making sure heater is directly above the groove, strike with Teflon® side of Nextflex forming tool. One hard strike is better than two soft ones. When bending, make sure the Nextflex tool handle is parallel with the uninstalled Nextflex. This puts the minimum bending radius protection in the correct position. Strike the Nextflex staking tool hard every 20mm (~.75"). This creates a firmly seated heater with excellent heat transfer. The first 10mm (~.40") after the connection area should always be straight. For optimal heat transfer, it is best to stake the Nextflex after assembly approximately every 20mm (~.75") into the groove. For bending the Nextflex we recommend our Nextflex toolset. This will allow the Nextflex to be seated optimally into the groove, resulting in maximum heat transfer.
