Shroud Systems

Standard Lead Times

INFORMATION

These shroud designs are constructed from stainless steel sheet metal or cast aluminum. They are self-contained systems that can be provided as turnkey solutions, minimizing labor and installation costs while significantly reducing downtime and maintenance compared to traditional liquid cooling and heating cast-in band heaters. The engineering of these two components is precisely aligned to function seamlessly together, delivering thermally efficient heating and air cooling capabilities, and addressing the limitations of liquid-cooled cast-in aluminum band heaters.

Options

Two Mounting Styles are available:

  • Hinge with Barrel Clamps – designed for ease of installation
  • Two Individual Halves with Barrel Clamps (Two-Piece) – used where installation space is tight or mounting is difficult

 

Internal Support Straps or Support U-Bolt on blower mount half of shroud permits shroud to be opened for servicing without removing unit from barrel

Anti-Rotate Tabs – used only with Finned Cast-In Heaters to prevent shroud from radial and axial movement around the barrel

  • Tabs are cast as part of the heater (may require a Terminal Box)

 

Blower Options

  • Single or Dual Recommended Blowers available from 148 CFM up to 1210 CFM at 115V or 230V, or 480V 3-Phase
  • Customer Specified blower
  • Blower not required for Heat-Only Shrouds

 

Blower Location

  • Horizontal or Vertical Orientation
  • Extension Housings Available

 

Standard Air Outlet combined with Terminal Box at top

Optional Air Outlet Features Include:

  • Air Outlet Shield deflects air flow out of shroud and shields shroud from external solid contamination
  • Air Outlet separate from Terminal Box
  • Alternate Radial Air Outlet locations available

 

Air-Inlet Baffle Optional

Vent Hole(s) Optional

Heater Type and Components

Recommended Heater Types – Finned Cast-In Heaters with standard 1/4″ gap between heater halves, Ceramic Band and Maxiband Heaters

Power Input Terminal Box with 7/8″ dia. K.O. for 1/2″ conduit:

  • Standard 10-32 stud termination with ceramic or mica insulator
  • With Louvered Cover – used when terminal box is separate from air-outlet
  • Stainless Steel Screen – used when terminal box is combined with air outlet

 

Power Input through Blower Mount – input wiring through knockouts in blower mount eliminates terminal box and facilitates ease of heater service
