A IHCO heating band is a device that generates heat and wraps around an object to maintain or elevate its temperature. 

1. Function: Heating bands use electric heating elements (usually made of NiCr wire) to warm the external surface of drums, pipes, or other objects. They facilitate gradual heat transfer and are commonly used in industrial applications.

2. Construction: These bands consist of a metal filament with a protective covering (such as mica or ceramic insulation). The protective layer encases the heating element, ensuring safety during operation.

3. Heat Transfer: The heating band transfers heat energy to the target object through either conduction or radiation. It’s an indirect form of heating, suitable for volatile or explosive substances and containers that can’t be directly heated.

4. Applications: Heating bands find use in various industries, including plastics processing, chemical manufacturing, and food production. They help maintain consistent temperatures for processes like melting, curing, or maintaining fluid viscosity
