Asphalt/Concrete

Asphalt or bitumen is a thick petroleum-based product mixed with aggregate such as stone. Manufacturers must maintain their asphalt’s working temperatures between 200-300°F (90-150°C) to ensure thorough mixing. Constant-wattage heating cable for pipes and silicone rubber heating blankets for vessels help asphalt manufacturers maintain the required heating level. Concrete manufacturers often use products called admixtures and water as parts of their mixing process. These products may be stored in 55-gallon drum or IBC/tote tanks and must stay warm to ensure proper setting of the material. BriskHeat’s full line of drum heaters and IBC/tote tank heaters are used to maintain the temperature. Immersion heaters can preheat mixing water to offset cold temperatures of concrete stored outdoors in winter.

APPLICATIONS

ASPHALT SEALANT WARMING

Asphalt sealants are used to enhance and protect asphalt by filling cracks or sealing entire surfaces. Often they are kept in large IBC/tote tanks for bulk storage and/or transportation to a job site.

IBC / TOTE WARMING

Users of Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC) often need to raise the temperature to reduce viscosity or protect the contents from the cold.

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.

EMERGENCY DE-ICING AND FREEZE PROTECTION

The cold weather can wreak havoc on exposed valves, pumps, pipes, bearings, filter housing, and other industrial objects.
