Industrial heat and cool band heater for plastics processing equipment

Process Heat Built Around the Equipment

Replace. Configure. Validate. Supply.

Industrial process heaters configured for maintenance, tooling, production equipment, and repeatable OEM supply.

The heater should fit the process, not just the drawing.

Fit, watt density, construction, lead protection, operating temperature, and installation conditions all affect service life and process performance.

Firelands helps turn the existing heater and real equipment conditions into a clear replacement or OEM configuration.

01

Cartridge Heaters

Use when the heater must transfer heat efficiently into a drilled hole, platen, or machine component.

Swaged cartridge heater with right angle conduit for industrial tooling

Cartridge heaters are commonly used when heat needs to be concentrated inside tooling, molds, dies, fixtures, seal bars, and equipment bores.

02

Band Heaters

Use for plastics processing, extrusion equipment, injection molding, packaging machinery, and controlled surface heating.

Ceramic band heater for cylindrical processing equipment

Band heaters are used when heat needs to wrap around a cylindrical surface such as a barrel, nozzle, pipe, or processing component.

03

Nozzle Heaters

Use when space is tight, lead protection matters, and consistent heat is needed around a compact process area.

Nozzle heater component for focused heat in a hot runner application

Nozzle heaters are used where focused heat is required around smaller diameter components, especially in plastics and hot runner applications.

04

Strip Heaters

Use when heat needs to be applied along a flat or straight surface rather than inside a bore or around a cylinder.

Industrial strip heater with SN4 termination for flat surface heating

Strip heaters are used for flat surface heating, platen heating, packaging equipment, tanks, dies, ovens, and straight heated sections.

05

Flexible Rubber Heaters

Use for tanks, hoppers, drums, panels, instruments, enclosures, and surfaces with limited room for a rigid heater.

Flexible rubber process heater for conforming to a tank or panel surface

Flexible rubber heaters are used when heat needs to conform to a surface rather than fit into a rigid bore or housing.

06

Flexible Tubular Heaters

Use when a straight cartridge or strip heater does not match the geometry of the heated area.

Flexible tubular process heater for complex machine geometry

Flexible tubular heaters are useful when heat needs to follow a more complex path around a machine component, platen, mold, or custom shape.

Why Firelands Process Heat

Reviewed around the application

A heater can look simple from the outside. The application details determine whether it installs cleanly, transfers heat correctly, and survives the operating environment.

01

Fit and Installation

Review the physical envelope, mounting method, bore fit, surface contact, bend path, clearance, and service access.

02

Heat Requirement

Match voltage, wattage, watt density, operating temperature, heat-up time, and cycling behavior to the process.

03

Construction

Define sheath material, insulation, lead exit, termination, braid, sleeving, moisture protection, and strain relief.

04

Replacement Support

Work from part numbers, photos, rough dimensions, failed samples, or application notes when the original information is incomplete.
