Plastics Processing
Manifold Heaters, Formed on the Molder’s Floor
A stock formable element replaces a custom tubular build, turning weeks of downtime into a day.
Plastics Processing
Optimized Heat for 3D Printing
Five heaters in a garage became 90 W per print head and thousands of installs worldwide.
Packaging
Boosting Production in the Packaging Industry
Simulation-tuned wattage distribution took a six-lane sealing line from 80 to 120 BPM.
Life Sciences

Plastics Processing
Ending Repeat Heater Burnout in a Worn Tool
The thermocouple was too far from the working surface; a retrofit kept the tool in service.
Heater Design
The Constrictor Retaining System
Maintaining consistent coil-to-tool contact as an open coil heater expands under thermal load.
Manufacturing
Centerless Grind vs. Standard Swaged Sheath
Why sheath OD tolerance is a performance specification.
Heater Design
High vs. Medium Watt Density
Which construction to specify — 65 W/in² and 8″ are the dividing lines.
Sensors
Understanding Different Temperature Sensors
Thermistor, thermocouple and RTD — range, accuracy, linearity and cost, side by side.
Troubleshooting
Why Do Heaters Fail?
Fit, movement, moisture, contamination and sensor location — the five usual causes.
