Band Heaters

When heating is required around a nozzle or a pipe, a band heater is the optimal solution for your heating needs. Our current band products are separated in two types: Mica Band Heaters and Starflex Band Heaters. Each type offers different temperature tolerances as well as flexibility and construction options.

Coil Heaters

When highly focused heat is required and a very low profile is imperative, coil heaters are the best cost-effective option. Coil heaters may be used to concentrate the heat on specific segments or the coil may be spread to equalize the temperature across the object to be heated.

Air Heaters

Backer Marathon air heaters feature an open coil of high temperature resistance wire electrically isolated in a stainless steel sheath. Because the air being heated passes directly over the resistance wire, maximum heat transfer efficiency is achieved. Backer Marathon brand air heaters are used for heat staking, plastic welding, laminating, drying, heat sealing, and any other operation where air needs to be heated up 1000° F.
