MI Heating Cable
Key advantages include:
Very high temperature capability
Resistance to mechanical damage
Suitability for corrosive or industrial environments
MI heat trace cable is common in bitumen, Emulsion, sulphur service, refineries, and heavy mining applications.
MINERAL INSULATED HEAT TRACE CABLE
High-output process heating
MI heating cable can be selected for asphalt heating applications requiring a process temperature of 180°C. It is also suitable for maintaining heat in hoppers and tanks.
Cable selection should consider the required heat output, heated length, supply voltage and installation conditions.
