QUICK CLAMP

THINB AND®Heater with

Watlow set new standards in band heaters with THINBAND®.
Now Watlow makes it even easier to install THINBAND heaters
with the Quick Clamp option.The flexible one-piece design
makes installation on plastics molding equipment faster and
easier.Because it can be opened to the full diameter of the
barrel without causing internal damage to the heater, the
THINBAND heater can be installed on a barrel without removing
other band heaters already in place or requiring a more
expensive two-piece design.

And now with Quick Clamp, the THINBAND can be secured
tightly in place in a matter of seconds.The spring-loaded clamp
secures the heater tightly around the barrel with an easy flip of
the lever.

THINBAND opens up to fit
over barrel.No need to
remove other heaters.
