mica heaters, band heaters, immersion heaters, extrusion heaters, injection moulding heaters

Megnam ceramic heaters were developed by LPC engineers to fulfil the need for high watt density heat source with the lowest practical energy usage.

Megnam heaters are capable of delivering the highest loadings available in band heaters, being designed to operate safely at temperatures of up to 700 deg C (1300 deg F). Megnam strip and plate heaters are of a similar construction, being sturdy and capable of operating at equally high temperatures. Normal watt density is up to 50 watts per square inch.

LPC can design Megnam heaters to incorporate a variety of slots, holes and cutouts to accommodate your application and control systems. Terminations are supplied to your specifications and can include braided cables, terminal box and gland, standard plug connectors or stud terminals.
