Nextflex® / 1 Day Tubular Heater
The revolutionary Nextflex form in place tubular heater, the first tubular heater in the world which can be manually bent in all three dimensions. Available in 6.5mm, 8.0mm and 8.5mm diameter sizes, the Nextflex eliminates costly downtime associated with waiting for a custom bent tubular heater. Same day shipping in straight lengths, simply installed, easily stored and improved thermal performance compared to traditional tubular heaters—the Nextflex tubular heater is your best choice for immediate, durable, high performance replacement heaters. OEMs who standardize on Nextflex heaters have found they can reduce lead time for manifolds and plates requiring bent tubular heaters.
Nextflex’s unique construction consisting of a small, high watt density, tubular heater surrounded by copper with a flexible armor case results in an easy to install, flexible, durable heat source. Installation can not be easier, simply start in the middle of your mold channel, forming first at the marked center location of the Nextflex heater, then tap in with a Teflon or rubber mallet working your way to each ends.
The Nextflex connection options include, spade connectors, crimped(welded) leads, screw terminals, or the Nexthermal ceramic insulated Plug-n-Heat (reusable ceramic insulated connection).
