Medium density cartridge type MC

Application:

The medium watt density cartridges are designed to heat solids by conduction. They are usually used to heat press moulds.

Maximum operating temperature of high watt density cartridge 500°C, maximum load 12W/cm² (77W/Sq. Inch).

Technical specifications:

• Resistive alloy wire nickel chromium 80/20 coiled
• Insulation by compressed magnesium oxide
• Sheath in stainless steel tube 321 tolerances on diameter ±0.02mm, end plug seamless welded
• Metric diameter 8, 10, 12.5,16, 20 mm
• Imperial diameter 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, 5/8″
• Length from 25 to 1500mm, 1 to 60”
• Termination by nickel cable glass fibre insulated, length 300mm (maximum temperature 280°C)
• Voltage 230 V
• Power from 100 to 2000W

Possible variations:

• Special cable length up to 2000 mm
• Additional wire for earth
• Special voltage up to 440 V
• Built in thermocouple type K or J
• Welded threaded gland for fixing metric or BSP
• Welded Flange or bracket for fixing

Assembly:

The high watt density cartridge must be fitted in a reamed hole to work properly.

The layout of cartridge in the part to be heated must be on a regular pitch. The minimum distance between 2 cartridges is 40mm.

You must use a temperature control device to regulate the temperature of your process.  The sensor must be fitted in the middle of the cartridges.
