Band HeaterA heating element used in a variety of industrial applications is called a band heater. It is a cylindrical gadget with an electrical heating element wrapped around the outside of the metal shell. To offer effective and controlled heating, the band heater is made to fit around pipes, barrels, and other cylindrical objects. Conduction is the process by which heat from the heating source is transferred to the thing being heated. In processes like plastic moulding, extrusion, and industrial heating where precise and consistent heat is needed for best performance, band heaters are frequently employed.
