THINBAND® Heater with

Quick Clamp

Now ...Install THINBAND Barrel Heaters In Seconds

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.
