• Ceramic withdrawable elements are inserted into a pocket which is then fitted into a vessel or container
• The advantage of this type of element is that it can be easily removed from the pocket without having to
drain the vessel or container
• The dimensions of the pocket (I.D.) should allow for at least a 2mm clearance between element and pocket
• It is preferable to use a stainless steel pocket to
avoid flaking or corrosion occurring, which may
result in element failure
NOTE: Ceramic withdrawables are designed
primarily for horizontal mounting

SPLIT CARTRIDGES
• Suitable for higher operating temperatures as the heater
expands and fits tightly into the mould / die
eg. Die casting machines
• Better performance in long cavities or worn holes
• Standard sizes available (12.5, 16mm diameter)
• Easier to remove from mould / die
• Even heat distribution over the length of the cartridge
INSTALLATION OF CARTRIDGE ELEMENTS
•
• ²
For good heat transfer between the cartridge and the mould a precise bore (ISO H7) is required
For high powered cartridges with a surface load in excess of 20 Watt/cm a press fit is necessary
Uneven bore surface or excessive tolerance of the bore results in hot spots, thus reducing the life span
of the element
• Excessive length of the cartridge protruding out of the tool will lead to overheating of the exposed length
and eventual failure
• The distance between cartridge and external tool surface should be at least equal to the diameter of
the cartridge
• The use of non-conductive anti-seize paste is recommended to allow easy removal of the cartridge once
they need to be replaced
POSITION OF HEATING CARTRIDGE INSIDE THE MOULD
The distance in between the heating cartridges inside a mould
should not fall below 1,5 x D. Distance to outer wall must be at
least 1x D

• Most temperature control systems still use simple on / off controllers
• A digital temperature controller which uses PID control will ensure that the deadband
on setpoint is reduced thereby improving the accuracy of the temperature loop
• All elements need to be cycled thus it is recommended to use temperature controllers
• See pages 19, 20 for more information on temperature controllers

• A liquid level control unit ensures that the level of the heated solution remains at a

TEMPERATURE SENSORS
THERMOCOUPLE
• A thermocouple is a temperature sensing device constructed
of two dissimilar wires fused at one end to form a junction
• Construction is either mineral insulated cable where the
thermocouple conductors are embedded in a closely
compacted (MgO) powder which is surrounded by a
metal sheath forming a hermetically sealed assembly, or a tube
and wire assembly known as a general purpose thermocouple (GPT)
• As the sensor is heated / cooled an emf in the form of millivolts is
generated which provides an indication of the temperature
• Available in simplex, duplex and triplex
• All thermocouples come standard with
ungrounded junctions
• Grounded junctions available on request
• Multipoint duplex thermocouples available
(2nd point to be indicated)
RESISTANCE TEMPERATURE SENSORS (RTD)
• The electrical resistance of a conductor varies according to its
temperature and this forms the basic principal of resistance thermometry
• A PT-100 is a precision platinum resistor that exhibits 100Ω at 0°C
• RTD’s have a positive temperature co-efficient. As the temperature rises,
the resistance increases positively
• Available in simplex and duplex only
