Features
Mica plate heaters are manufactured custom made at our plant since 50 years and offer excellent thermal conductivity. Mica plate heaters with pressure plates are repairable.
- Special configurations available : Triangular, trapezoidal, U-shaped, plates, etc.
- Made from aluminized steel (ensuring better heat transfer) or from stainless steel
- Standard 3/16’’ thickness
- Pressure plates available : 1/8', 1/4' or 1/2' (to avoid plate rippling with use)
- Maximum operating temperature of 600 F
- Even heat (more density at the ends if needed)
- Monophased or three-phased
- Double voltage if requested
- Also available with grounding and built-in thermocouple
- With fold-over ends to avoid risk of contamination
- Special cold areas
- Thermocouple holes
- Notches
- Mounting holes
- Irregular shaped holes
Applications
- Flat surface parts heating
- Food cooking and hot food preservation
- Vulcanization
- Outer panels heating (Strip heaters)
- Cabinet heater
- Wrapping equipment and many other industrial applications

Tips
- The heated area has to be clean with no residue and have a flat surface.
- It is very important that the strip heater is installed in "sandwich" between 2 pressure strips or strongly tightened with a mounting screw to avoid the creation of air pockets between the strip heater and the pressure strips insure a better heat transmission Volton manufactures on demand those strips with the thickness you wish in order to incorporate them to your strip heaters.
- Verify the thickness of the strip heater on the heated area after the first heat and tighten again if needed.
