Cool to the Touch
Dual Layer Shroud with Inner Stainless Steel solid layer, a radiation shield that directs the cooling air flow over the heater and an Outer Stainless Steel perforated layer that isolates hot surfaces from contact (cool touch)
Tempco’s Cool to the Touch extruder heat/cool systems are custom engineered to provide optimal heating and cooling while providing personnel safety with a Cool Touch perforated outer layer. These systems are designed with finned cast-in heaters that optimize overall system efficiency. The reflective inner layer of the shroud decreases the heat-up cycle, reducing energy consumption. The “maxi-flow” unrestricted blower port directs inlet air to the hottest part of the casting and distributes it evenly over the entire cross section of the zone.

Single Layer Shroud Solid Stainless Steel Layer, a radiation shield that directs the cooling air flow over the heater
Tempco’s Multi-Versal extruder heat/cool systems are designed for efficient heating and cooling. The shroud systems can be used with many styles of band heaters. Due to the single layer design, the Multi-Versal shroud system has a low profile OD. The reflective interior of the shroud decreases the heat-up cycle, reducing energy consumption. The unrestricted blower port directs inlet air to the hottest part of the heater and distributes it evenly over the entire cross section of the zone.

Arctic Cast
Single Layer Shroud Vented 1/4″ thick Cast Aluminum layer – directs the cooling air flow over the heater
Tempco’s Arctic Cast Shroud System was our pioneer shroud design for the air-cooling of extruders. The cooling efficiency of the Arctic Cast shroud system meets or exceeds that of water-cooled systems when used with our field proven high-capacity blowers. The Arctic Cast shroud features a vented 1/4″ thick cast aluminum layer for durability. The cast-in heaters are designed with a large fin surface area to maximize cooling efficiency. The blower port directs inlet air to the hottest part of the heater, distributing it evenly over the entire cross section of the zone.

Standard Single Phase Centrifugal Blowers
Tempco standard blowers feature corrosion protected sheet metal housings and impeller wheels. The quiet operation and quick response coupled with high volume unrestricted output results in a field-proven efficient cooling means for extrusion processes. Standard blowers are readily available for single phase 115V or 230V and represent the shortest delivery times.

Low-Profile Single Phase Centrifugal Blowers
Tempco low-profile 115/230V single phase blowers offer a narrower footprint than the standard blowers. The motor is integrated with the impeller so that the motor housing protrudes only slightly from the blower housing. Low-profile blowers are made of die-cast aluminum and galvanized sheet steel and are perfect for applications where space is a concern.

Universal Three-Phase Centrifugal Blowers
Tempco high-end blowers use heavy duty construction for a long service life. They are available with universal three-phase motors for 50/60 HZ operation on voltages from 202 up to 530V. They meet Cenelec standards and are IP41 or IP54 rated with class B or F insulation systems. These low noise, continuous duty rated blowers operate efficiently under higher static pressure loads than our standard blowers.

Horizontal Blower Extension allows blower to be mounted perpendicular to the shroud. A baffle inside the blower extension smoothly guides air flow into the shroud.
Vertical Blower Extension allows blower to be vertically offset at a distance below the shroud as specified by the customer. Especially useful in retrofit applications.
Vertical Blower Extension with 90° adapter plate allows blower to be vertically offset from the shroud. Blower can be rotated at 90° intervals relative to the extension.

Vented Ceramic Band Heater
Thisvented heater was developed to provide another means of heating and cooling high temperature extrusion processes. To reduce the cost and weight of typical shroud systems, Tempco developed a low mass, non-thermally insulated ceramic band heater to work in tandem with a highly efficient stainless steel sheet metal shroud for high temperature heating and cooling extrusion processes. Forced air blowers are used for cooling. The ambient airflow enters the shroud, circulates around the ceramic heater and barrel, removes the heat from the heater and the process and exits the shroud opposite the entrance port. NOTE: Not available on Cast Aluminum Shrouds.
