Renowned in over 40 countries worldwide for their speed and efficiency of heating, these LMK Thermosafe Flexible IBC Heater Jackets are manufactured from heavy duty waterproofed nylon for the outer layer, with a custom coated fibreglass inner layer. A high thermal efficiency is achieved by the silicone insulated heating element sandwiched in between the layers and woven back and forth along the length of the jacket.  Heat is applied and spread more evenly compared to traditional heater pads and overall energy consumption is significantly lower than either this method or heat boxes.

Applications:

• Insulated heating jackets are available for use with a variety of IBCs.
• Suit composite 'Schutz' style bottle-in-cage IBC and folding ‘Pallecon’ style bag-in-box IBC. 

Features:

• Heat rises of between 1 - 3ºC per hour can be expected. Capillary thermostats ensure reliable temperature maintenance in a range 0º to 80ºC. The jackets use single phase power and there is no transformer to worry about.  
• Three model available:
  • The IBC1 1400w for keeping product from getting too cold in winter
  • The IBC2 2800w for processing heating to 60 degrees
  • The IBC3 3990w for heating difficult viscous products
• For added effectiveness, insulated lids are also available for all options, as are heavy duty PVC covers for outdoor storage.
• Any jacket can be re-sized for folding IBC, greasetainers, and steel tote IBC amongst others.
• IBC heating jackets are easy to mount to the IBC frame and designed to last assuming normal care is taken with their handling and storage. They have the advantage of being extremely safe to leave on overnight ready for the start of production as once they reach temperature, they will cycle on and off to maintain the required heat level.

Adding a mixer/agitator:

For medium viscosity products, the addition of an IBC agitator/mixer can speed up the rate of heating by moving the harder-to-heat middle contents to the outside of the mass nearer to the heat source. Mixers can be used independently of heating and dependent upon viscosity can be screwed into the top of the IBC or have its own frame with fork tyne sleeves for easier mounting.

Direct application of heat:

In some cases the direct application of heat via an immersion heater can offer quick results where the product is able to absorb heat without spoiling. This can be a messy process and should there be a variety of products to warm, then cross contamination risks should be considered. The warming impact can increase when combined with an insulation only jacket as heat loss is reduced.

Indirect Heat - the IBC / drum oven:

Though expensive to set up and run, high volume production is still suited to batch heating in an oven though lack of flexibility in the positioning of the oven in relationship to the production process can be an issue.
