Functional engineering application
The BLX-CAR-6700 High Watt Density Industrial Cartridge Heater provides high-temperature localized heat transfer for plastic mold tooling, packaging sealing jaws, hot stamping dies, and laboratory heating blocks in Kenya. Manufactured using precision swaging technology, high-grade 80/20 Nickel-Chromium resistance wire is wound onto a high-purity ceramic core, inserted into an Incoloy 800 sheath, and compacted under immense mechanical hydraulic force. This swaged compaction eliminates internal air voids, maximizing thermal conductivity from resistance wire to outer sheath. The heater is terminated with high-temperature flexible stranded nickel wires insulated with silicone-impregnated fiberglass sleeving capable of withstanding continuous temperatures up to 450°C at the exit lead.
Precision-swaged industrial high watt density cartridge heater with 12.7mm (1/2") diameter, 200mm length, 800W 240V rating, Incoloy sheath, 750°C max temp, and flexible fiberglass lead wires.

Common questions on this part
Extremely critical. Cartridge heaters rely on conductive heat transfer. A reamed hole with clearance no greater than 0.1mm (0.004") is essential. Gaps larger than 0.15mm cause thermal insulating air barriers that lead to localized overheating and rapid heater burnout.
A high-temperature thermal transfer and anti-seize paste (such as boron nitride grease rated to 1000°C) is recommended. It facilitates heat transfer into the platen and ensures the heater can be easily extracted during future maintenance.
No. Avoid sharp bends within 15mm of the cartridge sheath exit to prevent internal wire breakage or shorting against the metal sheath rim.
Yes. STARNEX supplies custom cartridge heaters with built-in Type J/K thermocouples, right-angle lead exits, and armored braided leads on 2 to 5 days lead time.
Yes. We stock over 20 popular sizes of cartridge heaters at our Nairobi trade counter.
