Plate Heater


TriVolt plate heaters are machined to customer specifications for efficient mounting and installation. Plate heaters are constructed to be rigid and able to withstand rugged conditions. These heaters have excellent heat transfer because they are filled with compacted magnesium oxide providing maximum electrical properties.

Applications include heating of extrusion profile dies, molding and packaging, blow molding manifolds and die heads and injection molds. See below for application industries and specifications. TriVolt Industries adopts a stringent internal quality control system (QMSM-2009). Every heater is tested for resistance and dielectric. All our heaters are CSA, UL and CE approved.
