Air Cooled Shroud

Air-Cooled Shrouds for Industrial Band Heaters

IHCo air-cooled shrouds are custom-engineered sheet metal enclosures designed to fit around industrial band heaters and provide integrated air cooling. By helping regulate operating temperatures and prevent overheating, air-cooled shrouds support consistent heater performance and long service life in demanding industrial environments.

The integrated cooling system also helps equipment cool faster, reducing changeover times in applications where maintaining and adjusting process temperatures is critical.

IHCo air-cooled shrouds support industrial heating applications that require greater temperature control and faster cooling, including:

  • Plastics processing
  • Packaging machinery
  • Food processing equipment
  • Heating of large cylindrical surfaces

Integrated Air Cooling

An integrated air-cooling system helps regulate heater and equipment temperatures during operation and provides faster cooling when process temperatures need to be reduced.

Quick Response to Temperature Changes

Heating and cooling capabilities allow equipment to respond quickly when temperature requirements change, helping reduce downtime during production changeovers.

Low-Profile Design

Custom sheet metal construction provides a compact enclosure around the existing heater assembly while accommodating equipment and installation requirements.

Multiple Heater Configurations

Air-cooled shrouds can be designed for use with mica, ceramic, cast, and tubular band heaters, providing flexibility across different industrial heating requirements.

Long Service Life

By helping prevent excessive operating temperatures, air-cooled shrouds support reliable heater performance and extended service life in industrial production environments.

Air-cooled shrouds are custom engineered around the heater band and equipment they support. Assemblies can accommodate multiple heater constructions based on the operating environment, temperature requirements, and application.

Mica Band Heaters

Assemblies can be configured around mica-insulated band heaters for cost-effective, reliable surface heating applications.

Ceramic Band Heaters

Ceramic band heaters can be incorporated when higher operating temperatures and longer service life are required.

Cast-In Heaters

Air-cooled shrouds can accommodate cast-in heaters for applications that require rugged heater construction.

Tubular Band Heaters

Tubular band heaters can be used in applications where contaminants such as oil, water, or liquid plastics may be present.
