An IBC silicone base heater efficiently heats up contents in an IBC container, making it easy to discharge viscous or semi-solid products with minimal waste. The 2700W heater can heat water from 15°C to 70°C in less than 40 hours. Kuhlmann’s durable silicone base heater fits various IBC containers and is easy to install and use. It can also be mounted with a digital temperature controller for precise temperature control.

Technical Specifications:

• Dimensions: 1035 - 851mm.
• Materials: 100% silicone.
• 1,5 meter power cord with no plugs.
• 0-150°C PT100 Sensor System temperature controller (additional product).
• Heats water from 15°C - 70°C in less than 40 hours in a fully loaded IBC Container.

The Internal IBC Heater is a unique approach to heating viscous foodstuffs and chemicals within IBC Containers. It is designed to protect sensitive products, such as syrups, honey, treacle, molasses, fats and other viscous products that are difficult to process. Most products can be batched within a relatively short time, increasing efficiency and reducing down time.

Technical specifications:

• Designed for insertion into 1000 litre cubic IBC but will also fit inside most IBC configurations.
• Adjustable temperature range from 0°C to 70°C using an easy to use controller on the top of the heater.
• 230/240 Volts - up to 2.4kW power output.
• Finned, food safe heating element that is inserted into the IBC, thereby heating the contents directly.
• Fast batching ability. Unique thermodynamic core that gives even temperature distribution along the heating extrusion,
• Preventing thermal damage to the liquid contents of the IBC.
• Non-stick industrial strength Xylon coating for easy washdown.
• Carefully designed low Watt density to protect sensitive products.
• Lightweight with stainless steel handles for easy insertion and extraction.
• Even temperature distribution along the length of the heating extrusion.
• Colored LED for power cycle and status indication.
• 16 Amp blue industrial power plug.
• Protective sleeve between the base of the control unit and the neck of the IBC to prevent ingress of contaminants.
