Stainless Steel Mica Band Heater/Heating Element
Tutco designs & Builds excellent mica heaters for all application, especially for lab equipment, medcial equipment and all kinds of surface heating applications. A custom mica surface heater for heat press equipment that replaced the heating element on the existing product line.
Mica band heaters are widely used on operations involving heating of cylindrical surface and are
manufactured in a full range of standard construction variations, physical dimensions, electrical rating,
and a complete arrangement of screw terminals and lead terminations.
These standard band heater variations and terminations do not represent the extent of our capabilities.
TY’s engineering staff, with many years experience in heat processing and temperature control
applications, can assist you in designing the right band heater for your specific applications.
