Description

The Type K Rama Band Heater offers reliable and efficient heating for various industrial applications. Its robust design features a 22-gauge stainless steel sheath, multiple clamping options, and, crucially, post terminals at each end of the heater, ensuring secure and dependable electrical connections. The standard design utilizes extra-strength full band clamps for maximum clamping force and minimal heat distortion. For specialized applications, Rama also offers 90° facing clamps and pin-and-screw clamps upon request.  

Key Features and Benefits:

• Secure Post Terminals: The Type K Rama Band Heater features post terminals at each end, providing a robust and reliable method for electrical connections. This ensures secure wiring, minimizes the risk of loose connections, and enhances overall safety and performance. This is the key differentiator from the Type B.  
• Extra-Strength Full Band Clamps (Standard): The standard design features extra-strength full band clamps, providing a tight and secure fit around the heated surface. This ensures optimal heat transfer and prevents slippage, leading to consistent and efficient heating.
• Durable Stainless Steel Construction: The 22-gauge stainless steel sheath provides excellent resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and high temperatures. This ensures long-lasting performance and minimizes maintenance requirements. 
• Minimized Heat Distortion: The continuous strap and spot-welded turnover design of the standard clamp minimizes heat distortion, maintaining the integrity of the heater and the heated surface. This ensures consistent performance and extends the lifespan of the heater. 
• Custom Clamping Options (Available Upon Request):
  • 90° Facing Clamp: This integrated clamp is part of the heater sheath, providing a compact and secure mounting solution. Ideal for applications with limited space.  
  • Pin-and-Screw Clamp: This clamp is spot-welded to the heater sheath and eliminates the need for a separate clamping band. This simplifies installation and provides a very secure hold.  
• Low-Profile Design: The low-profile design allows for installation in tight spaces and minimizes interference with other equipment. This makes the heater versatile and adaptable to various applications.

Specifications:

• Sheath Material: 22-gauge Stainless Steel
