Cartridge heaters
High Performance Heating for Industrial Applications
Cartridge heaters are compact, high-watt density heating elements designed to deliver precise, reliable heat in limited spaces. Ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, our cartridge heaters offer exceptional durability, uniform heat distribution, and energy efficiency. Whether you're heating metal molds, dies, platens, or sealing bars, our cartridge heaters are engineered for performance and longevity.
What Are Cartridge Heaters?
Cartridge heaters are cylindrical heating elements inserted into drilled holes to heat metal blocks or tools directly. Constructed with a **resistance wire coil insulated by magnesium oxide and encased in a stainless steel sheath, these heaters provide fast and efficient thermal transfer.
With diameters ranging from **6mm to 25mm (or 1/4" to 1"), they are available in **low, medium, and high watt densities to match the thermal demands of your specific process.
