Single-End Cartridge Heater (Single-End Heater / Cartridge Heater)
A single-end mold cartridge heater is a tubular electric heating element with wiring only at one end, mainly used for efficient heating in confined spaces or complex molds. It is widely applied in injection molding, die-casting, plastic molding and other industrial fields.
- Structure de base & Principe de fonctionnement
| Composant | Matériel & Fonction |
| Metal Sheath | SS304 (≤500℃), SS321 (≤600℃), SS310S (≤800℃), provides mechanical protection and heat conduction |
| Heating Element | NiCr alloy (2080) or FeCrAl alloy wire, generates Joule heat when energized |
| Insulation Filling | High-purity magnesium oxide powder (density ≥2.8g/cm³), isolation + high-efficiency heat transfer, compacted by tube reduction |
| Lead Wire | High-temperature resistant wire (silicone / Teflon), single-end outlet for easy wiring and fixing |
Principe de fonctionnement: Electric current passes through the resistance wire to generate heat, which is transferred through magnesium oxide powder to the metal sheath and then to the mold, achieving precise temperature control.
- Principales fonctionnalités & Avantages
- Petite taille, high power density: Power per unit area up to 2.5–50W/cm², ideal for rapid heating
- High thermal efficiency (≥90 %): Concentrated heating, fast thermal response, steep temperature rise curve
- Installation facile: Single-end wiring design, insertable into mold holes, adaptable to complex structures
- High durability: Fully sealed structure, shockproof and corrosion-resistant, service life up to 5,000–10,000 hours
- Flexible customization: Customizable diameter, longueur, pouvoir, shape (U-type / fileté / à bride)

- Applications
- Plastic Molds: Injection / blow molding / extrusion molds, 200–400℃, improves molding quality
- Die-Casting Molds: Zinc / aluminum / magnesium alloy die-casting, requires rapid heating and high-temperature resistance
- Hot Runner Systems: Ensures uniform melt flow, increases production efficiency
- Other Industries: Medical equipment, instruments de laboratoire, chemical reactors, sealing machinery, etc..
- Sélection & Power Calculation Guide
- Core Power Formula
- P = (M × cp × ΔT) / t + Qloss
M.: Mold weight (kilos)
cp: Specific heat of steel (≈470 J/kg·K)
ΔT: Temperature difference (℃)
t: Heating time (s)
Qloss: Heat loss (≈10–30% of total power)
- Surface Load Reference
| Heating Medium | Recommended Surface Load | Remarques |
| Dry heating in air | 0.5–1.5W/cm³ | Ensure sufficient heat dissipation |
| Liquid heating | 2–4W/cm³ | Flow rate affects heat dissipation |
| Metal molds | 5–15W/cm² | Higher when contact is excellent |
| Plastic molds | 1–3W/cm² | Avoid local overheating and deformation |
- Dimension Matching Rules
Fit between heater and mold hole: H7/g6 or H7/f7 for tight contact
Effective heating length must cover the heating zone; cold end extends outside for wiring
Reserve 0.1–0.2mm for thermal expansion to prevent jamming
- Installation & Entretien
Étapes d'installation
- Ensure verticality and smoothness of mold holes to avoid scratching the heater surface
- Clean holes and apply thermal grease / thermal adhesive to improve efficiency by 30–50%
- Insert gently, avoid heavy knocking
- Insulate wiring terminals properly, keep away from high-temperature areas
- Use with temperature controller, recommended fluctuation ±1℃
Entretien & Remplacement
- Operate only after cooling to room temperature to prevent burns
- Regularly clean carbon deposits / scale with fine sandpaper
- Inspect lead wire insulation, replace if damaged
- Replace heater if uneven heating or power drop occurs
VII. Common Issues & Solutions
| Problème | Cause | Solution |
| Heater burnout | Excess power density / poor heat dissipation | Reduce surface load / improve heat transfer / increase cooling |
| Uneven heating | Mauvais contact / improper hole design | Reinstall with thermal grease / optimize hole layout |
| Electric leakage | MgO damp / insulation damage | Replace heater / enhance sealing / avoid moisture |
| Short service life | Frequent on/off / large temperature fluctuation | Optimize temperature control / use high-temperature materials |
Les cartouches chauffantes à une extrémité sont la solution de chauffage privilégiée pour les moules industriels modernes en raison de leur densité de puissance élevée., réponse rapide et installation flexible.
La sélection doit tenir compte du matériau du moule, température cible, temps de chauffage, calcul précis de la puissance et de la charge superficielle. Une installation appropriée et un contrôle de la température améliorent considérablement la productivité et la qualité du produit.
