Both mica heating ring and ceramic heating ring are products that can help factories save electricity. Currently, both types of heating rings are commonly used on the market. So, what is the difference between mica heating ring and ceramic heating ring?
Different materials
The insulating layer of the mica heating ring uses mica winding layer, the heating part is nickel-chromium wire, and stainless steel is used as the heat-conducting layer. It can be made into heating rings of different shapes according to customer requirements.
The outer part of the ceramic heating ring is made of ceramic, and the heating part is a metal wire that is bent into a spring shape and passes through the ceramic to form a ring. The power is generally 0.5-1.5 times higher than that of other electric heating rings.
Different Advantages
Mica heating elements can be manufactured in various specifications and have an elegant and aesthetic structure. They have a long service life, provide uniform heat distribution, and have relatively fast heat dissipation. They also possess the characteristic of high voltage resistance.
Ceramic heating elements do not have the same flexibility in terms of shape as mica heating elements, but they can be designed in circular forms or wrapped and laid flat on the heating object. In terms of performance, ceramic heating elements heat up quickly, provide even heat distribution, can be automatically controlled, and have a longer service life. They also exhibit higher thermal efficiency.
Different High-Temperature Heating Capability
Mica heating elements have a maximum heat resistance temperature of around 200 degrees Celsius, while ceramic heating elements can withstand temperatures as high as 700-800 degrees Celsius.
These are the main differences between ceramic heating elements and mica heating elements. Heating elements are primarily used in extrusion, casting, and down-stroke mechanical operations, such as extruders, injection molding machines, and film blowing machines. Heating elements offer flexible installation, high thermal efficiency, pollution-free operation, and provide certain energy-saving benefits.
