THERMOSAFE is a proven alternative to multi-drum ovens and the solution to a host of process heating problems, even in Hazardous Areas Class I Zone 1.
Designed to heat 205L drums or smaller steel vessels.Blend and process organic ingredients at the perfect temperature.
The heater operates on the induction principle, the heater itself always remains cooler than the drum.
There are no hot spots, no flames, no heating elements, and no fire risk. These are all vital safety features much appreciated by employers and employees alike.
The Thermosafe heating process is uniform, infinitely controllable, and will not degrade the contents of the drum through overheating.
Thermosafe Induction heaters are the only drum heaters available certified for use in explosive atmospheres (Zones 1 & 2), and IP66 enclosure protection allows for hosing down and use outside.
The THERMOSAFE is a single induction coil, wholly encapsulated in a cylinder made from a glass reinforced resin specifically developed for chemical plants. The cylinder is simply placed over the drum. Contact is not required.The coil is connected to a single phase AC mains supply and generates heat direct and uniformly in the drum wall. Energy transfer is by alternating magnetic field and thus there is no heat transfer by the conventional and inefficient means of radiation or convection. As there are no hot elements, the heat remains substantially cooler than the drum being heated.
The complete absence of hot elements and the encapsulation of all electrical components enables unattended use, overnight if required. THERMOSAFE can even be used in hazardous areas. Uniform heating without hot spots reduces the risk of product degradation. Accidental spillage does not present a fire hazard and personnel can work comfortably in close proximity. Together, these features allow material to be heated at point-of-use, thus eliminating the transport of hot drums.Class I Zone 1 Certified.
By using the entire drum wall to input energy, the fastest practical heating rate can be achieved without product degradation. Heating times will depend on the contents of the drum but, to give a rough idea, the rate to temperature rise of a typical viscous organic liquid with be about 15°C per hour. The speed is further improved by the initial response of induction heating. Typically the THERMOSAFE has proved to be 2-4 times faster than ovens.
High-grade thermal insulation to reduce heat-loss and increase efficiency whilst providing protection for the operator.
Ideal for wide variety of plastic, fibre and metal containers – drums, tubs, buckets, kegs, carboys, totes and IBCs etc.
