{"product_id":"ibc-heater-for-640l-ibc-container-single-heat-band","title":"IBC Heater for 640L IBC Container Single Heat Band","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe IBC Heater for 640L IBC Containers with Single Heat Band is an efficient heating solution designed to warm liquids and reduce the viscosity of materials stored in Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs). Products such as syrup, sugar, fats, oils, resin and adhesives can become thick and difficult to discharge at room temperature, potentially resulting in increased handling times and product waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy applying controlled heat around the IBC, the heating jacket helps warm the contents and improve their flow characteristics, making them easier to pour, pump and discharge. This can help reduce product waste and improve the efficiency of handling viscous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heater features one adjustable thermostat with a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C, allowing the heating temperature to be set according to the requirements of the contents. The single heating zone provides a practical solution for applications where moderate heating or temperature maintenance is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured from durable and lightweight materials, the heating jacket combines Teflon-coated polyester, polyester insulation and silicone heating wire. Adjustable quick-release buckles make the heater easy to fit and remove from a standard 640L IBC, while the flexible construction provides close contact with the container for effective heat transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heating jacket is also suitable for maintaining the temperature of IBC contents during storage or transportation, particularly where a product needs to remain within a specific temperature range to maintain its required viscosity or flow characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor improved heating efficiency, an IBC insulated lid, available separately, can be fitted to the top of the container. The insulated lid helps reduce heat loss and can provide faster and more efficient heating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IBC heater is supplied as standard with IP40 protection. An IP54 version is also available for environments where exposure to water spray or increased moisture is a consideration, including certain food and pharmaceutical production areas with regular wash-down requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for 640L IBC containers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle heating band for practical and efficient heating\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable thermostat from 0°C to 40°C\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps reduce the viscosity of liquids and semi-solid materials\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakes viscous products easier to pour, pump and discharge\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps minimise product waste\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for heating and maintaining product temperature\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable, lightweight construction\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeflon-coated polyester outer material\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyester insulation for improved heating efficiency\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilicone heating wire\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable quick-release buckles for easy installation and removal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-metre power cable\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety thermostat for additional protection\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard IP40 protection\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP54 protection available as an option\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional insulated lid with centre top opening flap available separately\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for Heating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IBC heating jacket can be used for a wide range of compatible industrial liquids and materials, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOils\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiesel fuel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResin\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVaseline\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWax, including lanolin (wool wax\/wool grease)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFats\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eButter, including Ghee\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlue and adhesives\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSyrups\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSugar-based products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther compatible industrial liquids and viscous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IBC heating jacket can be used to warm materials that have become viscous as well as to maintain a desired temperature during storage or transportation.
