IBC Heating Jacket – 2KW Industrial Heater

When ambient temperatures fall, liquids stored in Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) can thicken, solidify, or become too viscous to discharge efficiently. This leads to wasted time, increased costs, and potential product spoilage.

The Under Control Instruments IBC Heater provides powerful and reliable 2KW heating, delivering effective freeze protection and precise temperature control for a wide range of stored liquids. Engineered to maintain ideal viscosity and flow, this heater eliminates cold-weather interruptions and keeps your operations running smoothly throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What size IBCs will this 2KW F-Class Heater fit?

A1: The F-Class IBC Heater is designed to fit standard IBC sizes, most commonly 1000L (275 US Gallons). Please refer to the specific dimensions in the technical specifications or contact us to confirm compatibility with your particular IBC.

Q2: How does the digital temperature control work?

A2: The integrated digital controller allows you to precisely set your desired product temperature. It constantly monitors the temperature and intelligently cycles the 2KW heater on and off as needed to maintain that exact set point, preventing both freezing and overheating.

Q3: Can this heater be used with flammable liquids?

A3: Safety is paramount. This standard F-Class IBC Heater is designed for non-hazardous materials. If you intend to heat flammable or hazardous liquids, you MUST use an intrinsically safe or ATEX-certified heater specifically designed for those environments. Always consult your product's Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and relevant regulations.

Q4: How does the 2KW power rating benefit my operation?

A4: The 2KW (2000 Watt) power output provides significant heating capability, allowing for faster heat-up times and more effective temperature maintenance, especially for larger volumes or more viscous liquids, even in very cold ambient conditions.

Q5: Is this heater suitable for outdoor use?

A5: While the heater is robust, its suitability for continuous outdoor exposure depends on its IP rating and the specific environmental conditions. For harsh outdoor use, we generally recommend additional weather protection for both the IBC and the heater. Please check the specific IP rating or contact our team for guidance.
