IBC/Tote Tank Immersion Heaters Applications:
A more effective way to warm contents of IBC/tote tanks
Application:
Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) users often need to raise the product temperatures to reduce viscosity or protect the contents from the cold. When they need to do this quickly the large volume of liquid, which could be in excess of 300 gallons (1136 liters), makes it challenging. Additionally, if the tank is in an extremely cold environment, the additional frigidity causes more difficulties. Raising or maintaining the temperature to the desired level ensures materials are ready for production and easy to dispense. Failure could result in the contents being ruined, production delays, or inability to dispense at all. This may increase production costs or damage to equipment. Replacing ruined materials, waiting for usable products, and damaged equipment could be very expensive and cause serious downtime.
Solution:
The combination of BriskHeat’s TTI immersion heater and TOTEWI wrap-around insulator is an effective IBC/tote tank heating system. Performance tests show that the immersion heater, when coupled with a BriskHeat wrap-around insulator, heats four times as fast than standard wrap-around heaters. The universal-fit TTI immersion heater has 1,500 watts for maximum heat, includes a built-in controller, and a plug-and-play design. Additionally, the superalloy Incoloy 840 will not corrode and contaminate the product. The TOTEWI insulators fit any IBC with a circumference between 160 in (406 cm) and 192 in (482 cm), are easily installed using the built-in straps and buckles and are extremely durable. Both are suitable for use in wet environments.
Additional Uses:
BriskHeat offers a full line of immersion heaters and cloth insulators suitable for many applications in almost any environment.
Catalog/Specifications Sheet
Q: What types of container heaters are available?
A:: Common container heater types include:
- Full coverage drum heaters
- Full-coverage IBC tote tank heaters
- Pail heaters
- Silicone drum and pail heaters
Q: What are container heaters used for?
A:: Container heaters are commonly used to:
- Viscosity control
- Maintain process temperatures
- Protect temperature-sensitive products during storage
Q: How do container heaters improve viscosity control?
A:: Heating materials to their recommended temperatures can lower viscosity, making liquids easier to pump, mix, transfer, and dispense while improving process efficiency.
Q: Can container heaters be used for hazardous locations?
A:: Our ATEX Drum, Tote, and Gas Cylinder container heaters are designed and certified for hazardous locations. It is always important to verify approvals and certifications before installation in hazardous environments.
Q: Can container heaters prevent materials from freezing?
A:: Yes. Container heaters are commonly used to maintain temperatures above freezing, helping protect materials from solidification, crystallization, or freeze damage during storage and use.
Q: How do I properly store my drum & tote heater?
A:: We suggest that you lay your drum heater on a flat surface when not in use.
Q: What lengths and widths do tote tank heaters fit?
A:: Any footprint between 40” x 40” (1016mm x 1016mm) and 48” x 48” (1219mm x 1219mm).
Q: Are there safety features for tote tank heaters like high-limit thermostats?
A:: Yes, the wrap-arounds have built-in 195°F (91°C) manual reset high-limit thermostats and are grounded.
Q: Do cylinder warmers have adjustable built-in controllers?
A:: No, the heaters are designed to keep the cylinders warm and temperatures will vary depending on environmental conditions. GCW and HCW heaters are built with self-regulating heat trace meaning they automatically adjust temperature depending on application and ambient conditions.
Q: Are cylinder warmers plug-and-play?
A:: The 120V GCW models include a plug, but other models have ferrule-crimped leads.
