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.
