CERAMIC BAND HEATERS
SHANTI Ceramic bands are made of an electrical resistance heating coil, which is inserted around a series of interlocking steatite bricks of 1100°c having physical and die electric strength and good thermal conductivity, covered with 4mm insulation and then wrapped in sheet metal. The resistance wire that converts electrical energy to thermal energy is a nickel-chromium alloy of 80% nickel normally termed as Ni-Chrome. The sheet metal is stainless steel ( chrome – nickel) for temp upto 700°c.
