Heating Options | IBC
High Performance IBC Heating Jackets:
Insulated heating jackets are available for use with a variety of IBC. All are made from washable coated nylon outer and custom glass cloth / stitched fibreglass inner and achieve 1 – 3ºC heat rises per hour.
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 product, 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.
