In linguistic usage occasionally the terms coil heaters, nozzle heating elements, hot runner heating elements, cable nozzle heaters are used. Our HotMicroCoil heating elements can be used in a wide variety of applications. Their high level of plasticity ideally suits them to the heating of hot runner nozzles and for accurately heating the contours of three-dimensional surfaces. Many of our customers order HotMicroCoil elements in their unformed state of mineral insualted cable heaters and perform the subsequent shaping work themselves, while others commission us to shape and fit the heating cable elements. A large number of ready-to-fit heating solutions are available for plastic injection nozzles with clamping mechanisms, housing bezel, reflection tube or heat conduction sleeve.

Owing to their small cross-sectional dimensions, MicroCoils are most often connected at both ends and do not permit the addition of a thermocouple. We prefer to use nickel as the sheath material here because it combines the best thermal conduction properties, high corrosion resistance and excellent deformation properties. To ensure that the standard 1000 mm PTFE-insulated connection cable can be positioned at one end, despite the standard two-ended connection of the element, in most cases the MicroCoil is formed into a hairpin shape and wound/laid in a bifilar (parallel) format. Our unformed MicroCoils are also supplied in the hairpin bend shape as standard.
