I hope you had a safe and enjoyable Independence Day. It is time for backyard cookouts, maybe some time on a lake or river, or just to enjoy casual time with your family.
As we get back from our summer vacations it is a good time to evaluate heaters and thermocouples. A little up-front attention can reduce much unplanned downtime.
Ring and cartridge heaters should be examined for frayed wiring, damage to the metal case, and loss of the wire seal on cartridge heaters. Frayed insulation may be repaired with high temperature electrical tape. If the conductor wire or metal case is damaged, the heater should be replaced.
Thermocouple examination is for frayed insulation, kinks and crushed areas on the metal sheath. As with the heaters, frayed insulation may be repaired with high temperature electrical tape. A thermocouple with kinks or crushed metal sheath should be replaced.
FISA Corporation keeps a large assortment of heaters and thermocouples along with all the standard components required for the complete rebuild of the hot runner nozzle drops in stock in Tullahoma, Tn. Please contact us with any questions or quotation requests.
Keep in mind FISA will be closed on Monday, 5-July, to celebrate Independence Day.
Contact me with any questions or requests.
Until next month, be safe, enjoy the fireworks, and have a smooth post shutdown start up.
