Cartridge heaters (another name: cartridge, "finger heater") are elements with a special design that allows the emission of a large amount of heat from a small area (maximum load 40W/cm2!). They are most often used for heating metal molds, tooling, etc. They are designed to work in difficult conditions, such as: vibrations, shocks, moisture, heavy liquids, frequent overloads. They are used where the working temperature is required within 400 - 750 ° C.

Thermocouple and power distribution

Cartridges with a built-in temperature sensor type "J", type "K" and Pt100 are used in machines and devices with a limited place of work and / or inability to mount an external temperature measurement. Depending on the accuracy of the measurement and the application of the element, the sensor is mounted inside the cartridge as follows:

Thermocouple isolated from the resistance wire, connection and metal casing to avoid interference with very sensitive control (reading). This is a standard montage of thermocouples in cartridge heaters.

Thermocouple located on the joint at the bottom metal casing (so-called "bottom"). Guarantees the highest accuracy and very fast temperature reading. Used mainly in injection molding systems and plastics.

A thermocouple mounted anywhere on the length of the cartridge. Used in unusual technological solutions. Centrally located, it allows to obtain an average temperature reading on the heater cover.

Types of thermocouples complying with the German standard DIN 4374
Type Positive Color Negative Color Working temperature  
Type "J" Iron Red Constantan Blue 0-750°C
Type "K" Chrome Red Aluminum Green 0-1250°C

Use to advanced technology, we are able to make cartridge heaters with an unusual distribution of rated power. This is particularly useful in situations where the heaters used must have different temperatures on the surface of the heater. Possible options:

Cartridge heaters with uneven power distribution used in an environment where a different temperature is required over the entire heating element. To achieve the intended effect, the method is used at a length of min. 100mm. Available heater combinations:
- more power in the middle of the heater
- more power at both ends

Cartridges with an additional cold zone used in an environment where an additional cold zone is required on the surface of the heating element. It can be placed on any length of the cartridge, allowing to get any combination

On customer's request, we can make two-power cartridges.
