Choose from one of our thousands of in stock cartridge heater models or let our engineers design a custom heater for your application. Cartridge Heaters Brochure Download Band Heaters When heating is required around a nozzle or a pipe, a band heater is the optimal solution for your heating needs. Our current band products are separated in two types: Mica Band Heaters and Starflex Band Heaters. Each type offers different temperature tolerances as well as flexibility and construction options. Band Heaters Brochure Download Coil Heaters When highly focused heat is required and a very low profile is imperative, coil heaters are the best cost-effective option. Coil heaters may be used to concentrate the heat on specific segments or the coil may be spread to equalize the temperature across the object to be heated. Coil Heaters Brochure Download Strip Heaters Backer Marathon strip heaters are manufactured to your custom specifications. Mica Strip heaters offer a low profile option for applications of up to 1200°F. Ceramic Strip heaters offer a rugged construction for application of up to 1200°F. They are direct bolt in replacements for popular brands. Strip Heaters Brochure Download Flexible Heaters Backer Marathon flexible heaters provide outstanding performance in applications up to 450°F under a variety of operating conditions. Properly applied silicone rubber heater life routinely exceeds 10 years. Silicone rubber has a high dielectric strength, is flame retardant, and non-toxic. Design versatility permits special heat profiles allowing zones of higher or lower heat concentration and their flexible construction makes them easy to install on a variety of surfaces. Flexible Heaters Brochure Download Nozzle Heaters Backer Marathon Nozzle Heater Standard Features include; oxidation resistant metal sheath, protective sleeving where leads exit the heater, stainless steel clamping strap with barrel nuts and 6-32 screw, 10" High temperature leads with our without SS braid covering. 1" to 3" diameters and 1" to 6" widths are available. Backer Marathon Nozzle Heaters are also available in low profile wedgelock construction. Nozzle Heaters Brochure Download Air Heaters Backer Marathon air heaters feature an open coil of high temperature resistance wire electrically isolated in a stainless steel sheath. Because the air being heated passes directly over the resistance wire, maximum heat transfer efficiency is achieved. Backer Marathon brand air heaters are used for heat staking, plastic welding, laminating, drying, heat sealing, and any other operation where air needs to be heated up 1000° F.
