Industrial Cartridge Heaters for Localized Heating Applications

IHCo cartridge heaters deliver high-output, localized heat for molds, platens, hot stamping equipment, immersion heating, and other industrial applications. Their compact design allows heat to be applied directly where it is needed, supporting efficient heat transfer and rapid temperature response.

Built with nickel-chromium resistance wire, high-purity magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation, and corrosion-resistant sheath options, cartridge heaters are designed for reliable performance at operating temperatures up to 1,600°F, depending on sheath material.

Cartridge heaters are compact, high-output elements used for localized heating inside molds, platens, and hot stamping systems.

  • Compact heaters for molds, platens, hot stamping, or immersion
  • Operating Temp: Up to 1600°F (varies by sheath material)
  • Swaged MgO design ensures tight tolerances and fast heat transfer
  • Flexible lead options; corrosion-resistant sheaths

Applications

IHCo cartridge heaters provide localized heating across a range of industrial equipment and processes, including:

  • Injection molding and die-casting molds
  • Platens for pressing and molding operations
  • Hot stamping equipment
  • Immersion heating
  • Hot water heating
  • Food processing equipment for baking, warming, and cleaning

Features

High-Output Localized Heating

Compact construction concentrates heat within a specific area, making cartridge heaters well suited for molds, platens, and other applications requiring direct, localized heating.

Fast Heat Transfer

A tightly swaged MgO design supports efficient heat transfer from the internal heating element through the sheath and into the surrounding equipment or material.

High-Temperature Performance

Depending on sheath material, cartridge heaters can operate at temperatures up to 1,600°F for demanding industrial heating applications.

Durable Construction

Stainless steel or Incoloy sheath options provide corrosion resistance and durability across a range of operating environments.

Flexible Lead Options

Flexible or braided lead configurations provide options for different electrical connections and installation requirements.
