A die that is not evenly heated will crack and wear prematurely, compromising quality and shortening the life of the die. This can be attributed to uneven heat distribution across the surface of the die which leads to hot or cool spots. Electric infrared heaters are able to heat dies with great uniformity preventing these uneven spots from occurring.
Spectrum Die Heaters provide the forging and die casting industries with a potent, cost-efficient solution for die preheating. By utilizing electric infrared technology, our heaters ensure that dies are quickly and evenly heated throughout the production process. This method reduces die preheating times, saves energy and improves production quality. These heaters can also effectively preheat machinery and tooling such as rods and rams.
Features and Benefits:
Specifications
Control Systems
A percentage input timer is used to control the on/off cycle and a control dial is calibrated from 0% to 100% for controlling heat output.
Cable
Spectrum die heaters can be shipped with hookup cable to make it easier to have an out-of-the-box kit with complete hardware and wiring for immediate assembly and operation. (You only need to provide the electrical drop for power.)
