Microtubular Heaters - HMC
HMC
HMC series microtubular heaters are the most technologically innovative expression of MgO compacted heaters.
Rather small dimensions and high performances make them very suitable in all applications where space is tight and whenever high working temperatures are needed for the proper functioning of the process.
Hot runner systems and plastic injection moulding have been their main application fields since the beginning but they are now used in many other industrial application fields due to their versatility.
Features
- Insulating material: Compacted MgO
- Casing material: Stainless steel
- Output: Single
- Maximum temperature on the casing: 750 °C depending on application
- Connection voltage: 230V (standard)
- Built-in thermocouple: Fe-CuNi (standard J-type) insulated, located at the bottom
- Electrical connection: PTFE-insulated 1000 mm nickel cables (standard)

Microtubular with reflector tube
HMC heaters equipped with an optional reflector tube provide a higher surface load, more effective heat transfer and greater mechanical protection of the heating element.
Controlled temperature measurement is possible with a spiral or integrated thermocouple. The reflector tube can be supplied for all HMC series heater sections in different diameters and lengths, with or without slots and holes.
Packaging solutions
Microtubular heaters designed and manufactured for packaging and wrapping machines:
- heating of sealing bars
- continuous circular welding machines (flow pack)
- thermoforming machines
- blister
- packaging of tissue products
Due to their versatility, microtubular heaters can be spiralled and formed into different shapes, sizes and power ratings. Supplied with integrated thermocouple or external temperature probe.
