Mica Insulated Strip Heaters

Mica insulated strip heaters are versatile industrial electric heaters designed for efficient surface heating applications requiring reliable temperature control, rapid heat transfer, and compact low-profile construction. These process heaters are widely used throughout the plastics, packaging, food processing, medical, semiconductor, aerospace, laboratory, and general industrial manufacturing industries where precise and uniform heating is critical.

Mica strip heaters are manufactured using high-quality nickel chromium resistance wire precisely wound and evenly distributed over premium mica insulation for excellent dielectric strength and thermal efficiency. The heating assembly is enclosed within durable stainless steel, aluminized steel, or other corrosion-resistant metal sheath materials that provide mechanical protection, excellent heat transfer, and long operational life. Mica insulated strip heaters are capable of operating at high temperatures while maintaining fast heat-up and energy-efficient performance.

These industrial strip heaters are commonly used on platens, dies, molds, tanks, ovens, sealing bars, packaging machinery, hot plates, laboratory equipment, and process heating surfaces. They are available in flat, curved, bent, formed, and fully custom shapes to match exact OEM equipment requirements and difficult mounting surfaces.

Pressure plates are frequently incorporated into mica strip heater designs to improve surface contact, increase heat transfer efficiency, minimize air gaps, and ensure more uniform heating across the application surface. Various mounting options are available including slots, holes, clamps, threaded studs, brackets, and custom fastening configurations for easy installation and maintenance.

Mica strip heaters can also be supplied with numerous lead wire and electrical termination options including braided leads, fiberglass insulated leads, terminal boxes, post terminals, screw terminals, stainless steel overbraid, flexible conduit, and right-angle lead exits for demanding industrial environments.

NPH custom manufactures mica insulated strip heaters in various voltages, watt densities, dimensions, shapes, and sensor configurations to meet the exact requirements of industrial process heating applications worldwide.
