Ceramic heaters are medium-to-high temperature heaters that have 1200°F
as a maximum working temperature. These durable heaters have built-in ceramic
fiber jackets that make them energy efficient. Our heaters are available with
different terminal styles, are fully flexible, and can accommodate holes and
cut-outs.

In a ceramic heater, nickel-chrome wire is embedded in a flexible outer wall made of special, interlocking ceramic tiles, which are assembled like a brick wall. A ceramic fiber insulating mat and a stainless steel jacket cover this assembly. This construction prevents heat loss and reduces electrical consumption by 20%.
An energized heater will have a temperature of 350 to 450°F on its outside shell when the inside temperature is maintained at 1200°F. To improve the conservation of energy, different thickness of ceramic fiber insulation mats are available.
Heat is transferred from a ceramic heater to the surface of an application through conduction and radiation. This is why a tight grip on the cylinder is not as critical as in other types of heaters. Moreover, over tightening should be avoided, since the pressure on the insulation mat reduces its insulating efficiency.
Our heaters are made by using different combinations of ceramic tiles, which are available only in specific lengths. Consequently, the width of a ceramic heater band falls within a certain incremental range.
Acetronic's ceramic band heaters can be manufactured with different clamping
mechanisms, terminations styles, holes and cut-outs.
B Style Post terminals The most commonly used termination style. Recommended for high amperage applications |
 |
G Style Terminal box A practical way to protect screw terminals from damage and exposure. |
 |
E Style Stainless steel braid Highly flexible. Protects the lead wire from abrasion |
 |
H Style Straight armor cable Provides protection against abrasion and contamination
|
|
K00 Style European connector Ideal termination style when the power leads are frequently removed from the heater. |
 |
K90 Style European connector Used when there is not enough clearance above a heater to use the K00 style European connector |

|
Flange lock-up The most economical clamping style, with #10-32 nuts
and screws. |
 |
Latch & trunion Available on heaters that are 10” or bigger in diameter.
This clamping style provides ease of installation and removal |
 |
Barrel nuts Barrel nut fasteners with 1/4-20 socket head screws are standard on all of ou heaters. This style can accommodate springs which compensate for thermal expansion |
 |
| Acetronics' ceramic heaters can be combined with high velocity fans to form fast responding heat/cool units in accurate heating applications. These heaters are made with a perforated outside stainless steel sheath, and with no insulating jacket. |  |
