Nozzle Heaters

Watlow® mineral insulated (MI) nozzle heater is a high-performance heater that incorporates Watlow’s exclusive mineral insulation technology. This material offers much higher thermal conductivity than mica and hard ceramic insulators used in conventional heaters. A thin layer of the high thermal conductive MI material electrically insulates the element wire from the inside diameter of the heater sheath. A thicker, low thermal conductivity layer backs up the element wire, directing the heat inward toward the heated part. The result is more efficient heat transfer—a performance solution that lowers element wire temperatures and increases heater life.
