 Cast-In Heaters
for Transfer/Feed Pipes
Tempco offers the perfect solution for
difficult to heat Transfer/Feed Pipes
Transfer pipes used in large-scale extrusion lines are difficult to heat
because of their irregular geometry. They are not machined cylinders
so proper contact and heat transfer are difficult to achieve.
Consequently, a special Cast-In Heater must be engineered for each
pipe to accommodate its individual characteristics. Typically, this
entails the customer sending the pipe to Tempco and our Engineering
staff designing a Cast-In Heater System that will optimally fit the pipe
and improve the quality of the process by eliminating hot spotting
and/or uneven heated surfaces. In some cases, we actually cast the
heater directly onto the pipe.

 Cast-In Heaters – Large Thermo-Platens
Engineered Solutions With Advanced Technology
in Cast-In Thermo-Platens
Tempco specializes in innovative engineering and manufacturing of
thermal components. Coupled with our diverse foundry and machine shop
capabilities, this expertise provides the know-how behind our product
line offering of large electrically heated platens that are manufac-
tured by using our cast-in heater technology.
This casting process incorporates the heat source (tubular heating
element) as an integral component of the platen. This process pro-
vides a more cost-effective and reliable approach than drilling holes
for cartridge heaters or clamping inefficient and cumbersome-to-use strip
heaters to the back surface of a platen.
Tempco’s thermo-platens are made from aluminum, bronze and brass
alloys. These materials provide excellent thermal conductivity for rapid
heat transfer with uniform temperature gradients. To further enhance heat
profiles, the formation and the location of the tubular heaters within the
casting are precisely engineered using the latest computer design techniques.
When the process requires heating and cooling cycles, thermo-platens can
be manufactured with the addition of stainless steel tubing to
provide liquid cooling capabilities.
The working surfaces and/or contours of the thermo-platen can be
machined to your specifications up to and including blanchard ground for
extremely flat surface requirements.
Our capabilities for manufacturing large thermo-platens offer you the
freedom to think big in your design requirements.
We offer complete engineering services and support, working with you

Thermo-Platens for Liquid Cooling of

High Density Electronic Systems &
Other Applications Requiring Flat Surface Cooling
In a world of compact designs with increased power densities, more heat is
being generated than can be properly dissipated by conventional air blowers. For
applications that have high-watt densities such as lasers, high-powered electron-
ics, telecommunications, and semiconductor processing, liquid-cooled cold
plates are the ideal high-performance heat transfer solution.
Mounting the components on an aluminum platen with inter-
nal liquid cooling tubes replaces forced air cooling to
achieve and maintain lower electronic cabinet tem-
peratures, thus increasing the operating service life of
the individual components and the system.
When drilling and/or tapping is required for the cold plate application,
Tempco will perform the machining to ensure that
the product’s integrity is not compromised.

Low-Profile Single Phase Centrifugal Blowers

Tempco low-profile 115/230V single phase blowers offer a narrower foot-

print than the standard blowers. The motor is integrated with the impeller
so that the motor housing protrudes only slightly from the blower housing.
Low-profile blowers are made of die-cast aluminum and galvanized sheet
steel and are perfect for applications where space is a concern.

Extensions for Forced-Air Blowers

Blower extensions are available for applications where space restrictions
do not allow the blower to be mounted directly to the shroud assembly.

Horizontal Blower Extension allows blower

to be mounted perpendicular to the shroud.
A baffle inside the blower extension
smoothly guides air flow into the shroud.

Vertical Blower Extension allows blower to

be vertically offset at a distance below the
shroud as specified by the customer.
Especially useful in retrofit applications.

Vertical Blower Extension

with 90° adapter plate allows
blower to be vertically offset
from the shroud. Blower can
be rotated at 90° intervals
relative to the extension.

The Importance of Liquid Cooling

The liquid cooling function of the Cast-In Heater is of primary
importance in maintaining the proper temperature of the barrel H
in the extrusion process.
Tempco offers many different liquid cooling variations, styles
and terminations. The following pages will assist you in
selecting the liquid cooling system best suited to your
application. See page 3-65 for complete details on how to order.

THE PERFORMANCE FACTS

A General purpose stainless steel terminal boxes provide a simple and economical way to eliminate exposure to live
electrical terminals. To simplify electrical wiring, the box has two knockouts for standard 3/8" BX cable connectors.
Boxes can be supplied factory prewired with high temperature lead wire protected with armor cable or wire braid.
Other boxes are available to accommodate your requirements. See pages 3-58 and 3-59.

B Threaded post terminals with 10-32 threads are securely fastened to the tubular heating element cold pin, assuring
positive electrical contact for maximum amperage carrying capacity. Other terminations are available to accommodate
your requirements. See pages 3-56 and 3-57.

C The standard Type “S” terminal has specially designed ceramic insulators that provide support to the screw terminals.
The tubular heater is recessed into the insulator to help prevent the screw terminals from bending or breaking from
mechanical abuse. Other specially designed ceramic insulators are available for the screw terminals and the connecting
wire. See page 3-56.

D Specially designed, low expansion 430 stainless steel clamping straps with 1/4"-20 socket head cap screws and barrel
nuts, in either 3/4" or 1-1/4" widths, are supplied as our standard method for securing the casting to the barrel. The
number and width of the straps is determined by the length and weight of the heater. For optional bolt and nut
clamping design see page 3-52.

E Having an in-house foundry gives us the flexibility

required to apply sound foundry techniques to control
the quality of each casting. Specially designed steel and
cast iron molds are used in our Permanent Mold Casting Processing
Process, producing a dense casting, free of internal aluminum
castings
voids and drastically reducing porosity, resulting in using a
smoother as-cast surfaces. When processing small Permanent
quantities, No-Bake Sand Molds are used. This sand Mold.
casting process produces a better quality casting than
other sand processes. The inside diameter of all Cast-In
Band Heaters is machine finished to customer
specifications.

F The most important part in the design of a heat and

liquid cooled Cast-In Heater is the cooling tube itself,
since cooling tube failures usually occur before heating Processing
element failures. Tempco has devoted many years of aluminum
testing and research to selecting an alloy tube that is castings
resistant to corrosion, and that will also withstand the using a
continuous stress that is placed on the cooling tube. Our Sand Mold.
testing has shown that Incoloy® tubing performs best
with exposed cooling tube extensions under these harsh
conditions, versus stainless steel tubing. Incoloy® is also
less susceptible to carbide precipitation, a product of the
thermal shock of repetitive heat/cool cycling, that
produces internal stress corrosion cracking, a common failure for cooling tubes. We have also learned that using tubing
with a .049-inch-thick wall is essential to preventing cracked cooling tubes due to linear thermal expansion as they exit
the Cast-In Heater.

G To maintain lower watt densities important for good heater life, the largest possible diameter steel sheath tubular heater
is used. Tempco most commonly uses a .430 diameter element with 1/8" diameter cold pins. This pin size allows
installation of larger and stronger screw terminal connections, providing additional strength to prevent broken
terminals due to mechanical abuse.

H Cooling tube extensions can be cut to your specified length, with various types of tube fittings factory installed. The
casting can also be supplied with non-exposed cooling tube fittings, which reduce cooling tube failure due to stress
corrosion cracking. For a complete selection of cooling tube terminations see pages 3-54.

General Purpose Terminal Protection Boxes For Cast-In Heaters

Standard Box Type C2

Terminal Boxes provide a simple and economical means to eliminate exposed
heater terminals and live electrical wiring, protecting employees from poten-
tial electrical shock. They also eliminate electrical shorts that can result from
exposed wiring on Cast-In Heater installations.
Type C2 is an individual terminal box for protecting the terminals on each Cast-
In Band Heater half. It is also used on many other Cast-In Heater designs with
one set of heater terminals. The C2 box design requires a flat pad on half-round
castings or a flat surface on other casting designs for mounting. It is made from
heavy gauge, rust resistant sheet metal. The cover is removable for easy access
to terminals. The box has two 5/8" diameter knockouts opposite each other for
standard 3/8" BX connectors.
To simplify installation, Cast-In Heaters fitted with boxes can be factory pre-
wired with high temperature lead wire, protected with armor cable. If either
one of these options is required, specify terminal box type, lead wire and cable
length. Satisfies NEMA 1 requirements.

Terminal Protection for Both Heater Halves Type C7

Type C7 terminal boxes are made from rust-resistant sheet metal. The C7 base
is fixed to the clamping straps. The box has two 5/8" diameter knockouts oppo-
site each other for standard 3/8" BX connectors. The cover is removable, pro-
viding easy access to the screw terminals for electrical wiring.

length. Satisfies NEMA 1 requirements.
C7 Terminal Box Size varies with dimensions of casting.

Quick-Disconnect High Temperature Cup and

Box Assembly Type P2
Quick-Disconnect Cup assemblies provide the simplest and safest
means for applying power to any type of Cast-In Heater installa-
tion. The box extends over the screw terminals on both Cast-In
Band Heater halves. The combination of prewired cup and box
assembly, along with factory prewired high temperature lead wire
protected with armor cable, eliminates live exposed heater terminals
and electrical wiring, protecting employees from electrical shock
and the possibility of electrical shorts due to exposed wiring.
If prewired plugs are required, specify length of lead wire and
cable.
Rated 250V maximum, 15 Amp maximum
Terminal Box Size varies with dimensions of casting.

Terminal Protection Boxes for Cast-In Heaters

Type EP Explosion and Moisture Resistant Box

Cast Iron explosion and moisture resistant boxes should be used in areas where the
surrounding air may become contaminated with combustible gases or a high humid-
ity level may exist. Installation requires one box per Cast-In Heater half and they
are brazed to the tubular heater. The standard box has one 1/2" NPT hub.
Optional: Two hubs per box available. Cast-In Heater fitted with boxes can be
factory prewired with high temperature lead wire, protected with special armor
cable. If either of these options is required, please specify the following:
Ì Number of hubs Ì Cable type Ì Lead wire Ì Cable length
Rated to 450°F (232°C).

Type MPR
This design has a moisture resistant die cast aluminum box with
a non-removable polyurethane gasket in the lid. Lid is secured
with captive stainless steel screws. Body and lid are painted
in basic industrial gray; interior contains copper ground
screw. Box is mounted to a plate that is brazed to the element.
Available in a wide variety of sizes. Rated to 250°F (121°C).

Type MR1
This design incorporates the MPR housing style along with
a perforated tube shielding unheated extensions of the tubu-
lar heating elements. This feature provides mechanical
strength to the element extension and prevents overheating
of the terminals, reducing possible premature failure from
corrosion and oxidation. Rated to 250°F (121°C).

Exposed electrical wiring on cast-in

heater installations is a violation of Type CB1
Electrical Safety Codes including O.S.H.A.
A Cast Aluminum Box is used to protect and
secure lead wire terminations on narrower designs.

Cross Head Die Heaters
®

Cast-In Cross Head Die Heaters for Plastics Extrusion Processing Equipment
Maximize Service Life on
Difficult Extrusion Die Applications
Extrusion Cross Head and related extrusion dies present extremely
challenging operating parameters to most conventional heating elements.
This is primarily due to the presence of excessive contamination, high
watt densities and high temperature as well as unusual physical and
dimensional requirements.
Many processors continue to use ceramic and mica band heaters on
this application, with frequently marginal results. In these instances,
Cast-In Aluminum or Bronze heaters are recommended to substantially
improve life and performance.
Cast-In Heaters are less susceptible to contamination problems, and can
operate at higher temperatures with higher watt densities. In addition, the
design is structurally better suited to accommodate holes and cutouts
without compromising the heater’s electrical and mechanical integrity.
As a standard, Cross Head Die Heaters are typically designed in aluminum
as a one-piece band with a single slot that can be slid over the die and
clamped with stainless steel clamping straps. For higher temperature or
high watt density requirements, bronze or brass alloys can be used.
