High Performance Tubular Coil Heater

WHAT ARE HIGH PERFORMANCE TUBULAR COIL CARTRIDGE HEATERS - TYPE RP?

High performance tubular cartridge heaters - Type RP are compact, high-density heating elements designed for applications where space is limited but high thermal output is essential. These heaters feature a seamless metal sheath (typically stainless steel) with a low-mass construction, achieved through advanced compaction of the internal resistance wire and insulating material. This allows them to deliver exceptionally high watt density—meaning more power per unit area—while maintaining reliability in demanding industrial environments.

They are particularly suited to precision heating tasks, such as in plastics processing (for example, injection moulding tools, hot runner systems, and nozzles), where concentrated heat must be applied in tight or restricted spaces without compromising performance.

ADVANTAGES OF HIGH PERFORMANCE TUBULAR COIL CARTRIDGE HEATERS - TYPE RP

• Exceptional power in compact spaces: Their low-mass design and high compaction enable very high watt densities (often significantly higher than standard cartridge heaters), providing maximum heating output where installation room is at a premium.

• Rapid heat-up and efficient heat transfer: The tight internal construction ensures quick response times and excellent thermal conductivity, leading to faster process cycles and improved energy efficiency.

• High temperature capability: Capable of operating at sheath temperatures up to 750°C (depending on specific build and application), making them ideal for demanding high-heat scenarios.

• Durability and longevity: Sealed construction resists moisture ingress, oxidation, and corrosion, contributing to extended service life even under intense conditions.

• Versatile application fit: Perfect for narrow bores, intricate tooling, or situations requiring minimal mass, such as nozzle heating or mandrel applications in plastics and other industries.

• Reliable performance under load: High surface loading supports intense use without premature failure, offering consistent results in precision-critical processes.

BESPOKE DESIGN TO MEET YOUR NEEDS

Type RP heaters are highly adaptable to meet specific application requirements. Custom options typically include:

• Diameters and lengths tailored to exact fitment needs, with small cross-sections available for the tightest installations.

• Voltage ratings from low (e.g., 24 V) up to standard industrial levels (commonly up to 250 V or more in variants).

• Power outputs configured precisely, with capabilities reaching up to around 80 W per 100 mm length (or equivalent high densities).

• Integrated thermocouples (as Type RPT variants) for built-in temperature monitoring and control.

• Lead configurations, connection types, and exit styles to suit installation constraints.

• Sheath materials and surface treatments optimised for the operating environment (e.g., enhanced corrosion resistance).

• Special coiling or shaping (such as for nozzle heaters) where the tubular element is formed into cylindrical or other geometries for direct fit around components.

This extensive customisation ensures seamless integration into bespoke machinery, tooling, or systems, delivering optimised heating performance exactly where and how it is needed.
