Agriculture
Agriculture and ranching are two examples of industries concerned with freeze protection. BriskHeat’s self-regulating heating cable and silicone rubber heating blankets easily prevent freezing of water lines, tanks, and troughs used for irrigation and livestock watering. These can also be used to increase crop yields and extend growing seasons by heating soil or providing heat for seed germination. And BriskHeat has a full line of wet-area/outdoor-rated cloth heating blankets too. Harvesting and bottling honey is faster and easier when container heaters are used to reduce viscosity. Apiaries are capable of higher production when honey is extracted using heaters on the spinning equipment. Ranchers can use safe, low-temperature heaters to provide warmth in areas inhabited by newborns.
APPLICATIONS
AGRICULTURAL TROUGH HEATING
Animal owners such as farmers and ranchers need to make sure their animals, which often spend a considerable amount of time outdoors, have water to drink.
DRUM AND PAIL VISCOSITY CONTROL
There are several types of viscous materials like grease, wax, and honey that are stored in drums and pails. These types of materials are thick at room temperature, making flow difficult during pouring, dipping, pumping, coating or mixing operations. Use BriskHeat Drum and Pail Heaters to help reduce the viscosity levels in containers.
FREEZE PROTECTION FOR CONTROL PANELS
Electronic components inside control panels and monitoring devices need protected from cold temperatures.
ROOF & GUTTER ICE DAM PREVENTION
During cold winter months ice dams form on the edge of rooftops and cause significant roof damage along with safety hazards from falling ice.
EMERGENCY DE-ICING AND FREEZE PROTECTION
The cold weather can wreak havoc on exposed valves, pumps, pipes, bearings, filter housing, and other industrial objects.
