Product Overview

Flexible Tubular Heaters for Hot Runner Manifolds

Flexible tubular heaters for hot runner manifolds, designed for effortless forming, high sheath contact and energy-efficient, uniform heating.

Pratik flexible tubular heaters are designed for hot runner manifolds where heaters must be formed into complex shapes while maintaining intimate contact with the groove.

High sheath-to-groove contact and optimised watt density ensure rapid heat transfer, uniform temperature and reduced energy consumption.

The range includes 6.5 mm, 8.0 mm and 8.5 mm heater data for different manifold groove requirements.

Flexible Tubular Heaters for Hot Runner Manifolds

Available diameters: 6.50 mm, 8.00 mm & 8.50 mm.
Effortless forming for easy installation.
Maximum sheath contact (upto 75%).
Rapid heat transfer and distribution.
Minimal temp. variance between heater sheath & manifold.
Reduced energy costs.
Smaller bending radius (12 mm).

The groove for insertion of PHPflex must be equipped with a chamfer.
Observe minimum bending radius of the PHPflex (recommended groove geometry and radius refer to catalogue).
For 8.0 mm & 8.5 mm: Do not bend the unheated ends of the PHPflex more than length of 40 mm.
For 6.5 mm: Do not bend the unheated ends of the PHPflex less than length of 40 mm from each ends.
Do not straighten the bent areas of the heater to avoid breakage.
For 8.0 mm & 8.5 mm: Terminals M2.5 and M4.
For 6.5 mm: Terminals M2.5.
In order to attach a cable lug to the threaded pin, lock the two nuts one against the other at 1 N.m tightening torque.
Mark centre of the PHPflex before inserting into a groove, start at this mark in both directions.
Do not use sharp-edged tools.
The heater can be bent manually and fixed into the groove by plastic mallet.
