Cast In Aluminum Platen Die Heaters For Plastics Processing
Equipment
Product Description
Cast-In Aluminum Platen Die Heaters are manufactured from aluminum
alloys, the platen heater consists of a tubular heating element
that is designed and formed to provide maximum efficiency and
temperature uniformity on the working surface of the casting. The
platens can also be designed with integral cooling tubes or as
stand alone cooling platens for chilling applications. The working
surface of the platen heater can be supplied with various machined
finishes to customer specifications. A ground surface can also be
provided for stringent flat surface requirements. In addition,
surface coatings of electroless nickel, ®, and hard-coat anodizing
can be applied per application requirements .Mounting options can
be cast in the design of the platen or machined as a secondary
process. These options include threaded stand-offs, cast-in
anchors, ribbed back supports, tapped holes, and mounting slots.
Electrical terminations can be threaded terminals, flexible wire,
three-prong electrical plugs, or NEMA housings. All platen designs
can be manufactured to customer specification. Engineering
assistance is available to help create a new design or modify your
existing one.
