  • Patent number: 4208574
    Abstract: A heater plate for plunger-type molding presses comprises a plurality of electrically heated heating elements which are inserted into holes through the plate. These holes are disposed in rows parallel to the peripheral outline of the plate so that the density of the heating elements decreases toward the center of the plate. The heating elements are interconnected and also connected to a temperature control device so that the heating elements can be selectively heated whereby the plate can be uniformly heated in spite of higher heat loss at marginal portions of the plate.
