Why Heat IBC Containers

Many materials become viscous at room temperature, notably sugars, fats, surfactants and a variety of chemicals.

These materials present users with a number of challenges:

Without heating, the product cannot be discharged quickly enough from an IBC into the manufacturing process, even at room temperature.
As the IBC empties, the static head falls, further reducing the flow rate.
To keep production flowing, it is often necessary to replace the IBC before it is completely empty, meaning that product is either wasted or returned to the supplier.
Alternative IBC heating systems can create hot spots that can burn the product or even the IBC itself. In addition, accurate temperature control can be difficult.

Inditherm IBC Heating Jacket

A revolutionary system for heating the contents of IBCs so that they flow more easily. Inditherm provides a range of heated IBC jackets that can be fitted over virtually any shape or make of IBC, including such names as Schutz, Ragus, Francis Ward and many more. The system is provided as a removable heated jacket, either with an integral or separate, unheated lid. Inditherm also supplies a range of pads that fit to the inside walls of collapsible containers. Inditherm's IBC heaters can be used for both internal and external applications.

The heated IBC jackets use Inditherm's patented, low voltage carbon polymer technology to provide the heating. The construction is in two parts: a heated jacket that surrounds the walls of the IBC and a removable, insulated lid. Unlike other forms of heating, there are no hot spots. Inditherm also produces unheated jackets that are suitable for materials where insulation only is required to retain heat.

Benefits:

Heating the IBC significantly reduces the product viscosity, thereby improving flow and reducing decant time.
The yield is significantly improved, with virtually no product being left behind inside the IBC, thereby reducing costs.
Inditherm's low voltage system uses only a small amount of energy and it is possible to heat a full IBC from 20°C to 40°C for less than £2.00.
The even temperature distribution eliminates hot spots and the temperature can be controlled to suit the users' needs.
Energy savings over Trace Heating Systems of up to £650 per year.
