The importance of water/liquid cooling in the plastic extrusion process, the cooling function of the cast-in heater is actually its most important function. The cooling function of the cast-in heater has a significant role in modulating the melt temperature of the plastic in the extruder barrel. In conventional extrusion applications, the liquid cooled method is the most commonly employed. Essentially, this is due to the constructional characteristics of the water/liquid cooled style cast-in, which facilitates extremely rapid, precise and uniform removal of heat from the extrusion barrel. This quick response-time capability has made oxford water/liquid cooled cast-in heaters the primary choice of the extrusion industry. Because the liquid cooling function of the cast-in heater is of primary importance to the extrusion process, Oxford Electrohit offers many different liquid cooling variations, styles and terminations. The company manufactures custom cast-in heaters to exact specifications, meeting the requirements of any process. It also offers numerous common sizes and styles of water/liquid cooled cast-in heaters off the shelf for immediate delivery.
