IBC heating

Versatile IBC heaters – tailor-made for your medium

Whether you want to keep viscous chemicals, oils, foodstuffs or sensitive technical media in a liquid state and transport them: our IBC heaters are designed to fit standard containers perfectly and can be used flexibly. You will find the following in our range:

• Heating mats and heating jackets: circumferential , flexible, with robust belt systems for secure attachment to the container
• Electric heating mats:can be positioned under the IBC to save space, for effective heat transfer from below
• Powerful technology: from 500 to 2,000 watts, suitable for temperature ranges up to 120°C (depending on model)
• Innovative thermostats: continuously adjustable and digital (e.g. 0–90 °C), for precise temperature control
• Various features: Optional sensors, insulating cover, splash guard or lid heating offer additional convenience

You will find the right heating system for every application: from viscosity reduction for viscous media such as oils, resins and adhesives to heating honey or syrup and reliable frost protection for water or AdBlue®.

Application tips & decision-making aids

Choosing the right IBC heater depends on the medium, operating temperature and intended use. Heating jackets or heating mats score points for their flexible installation and even heat distribution on the side walls. Heating plates made of cast iron radiators or heating plates under the container are particularly suitable for media that need to be heated optimally from below. Consider which insulation effect, protection class, cast iron components or additional features (such as temperature sensors or heating jackets) your process requires.

Frequently asked questions:

• How can I prevent clumping or crystallisation of media in the container?

Rely on precise temperature control, for example with intelligent heating jackets, cast iron heating plates or integrated temperature controllers.

• How can large quantities of fluid be heated quickly?

Use combinations of heating jackets and floor heating plates for particularly effective heat transfer.

• What is particularly important when dealing with sensitive, viscous or food-related media?

Use systems that are gentle on media and materials, such as silicone-coated heating cables or food-safe surfaces.
