ATEX IBC Heater | Certified Heating Jacket for IBC Containers

£4,318.56 Excluding VAT

Safe, Controlled Heating with an ATEX IBC Heater This ATEX IBC heater provides safe, efficient and compliant heating for 1000 L IBC containers used in hazardous industrial environments. It provides reliable frost protection and temperature control for liquids stored or processed in ATEX zones 1/2 (gas) and 21/22 (dust). Importantly, this IBC container heater jacket features a durable anti‑static PVC outer layer and a self‑limiting heating cable, ensuring stable performance without the need for an expensive temperature controller. This IBC tote heater operates independently - the built‑in self‑limiting cable regulates heat output automatically, maintaining safe temperatures and preventing overheating. As a result, the heater provides dependable frost protection and steady temperature control with minimal operator input. Additionally, the heater includes a 5 m connection cable and an ATEX‑certified junction box, allowing quick cable replacement and reducing set-up time. It fits standard 1000 L IBC containers and may be paired with an optional insulating lid for improved thermal efficiency.
  • Designed for Ex-designated atmospheres containing potentially explosive concentrations of gas and dust
  • Fits standard 1000 L IBC containers
  • Ideal for frost protection, viscosity control and temperature stabilisation
  • Additional electronic controller not required
  • Insulating lid available separately, for increased thermal efficiency.
Lead times may vary, subject to prior orders. If next day delivery is required, please contact us to discuss availability before placing your order.

This ATEX IBC heater is designed for safe heating in Ex-zoned environments where ignition risks must be controlled. It also improves process efficiency and protects material integrity in demanding high viscosity transfer applications.

  • Certified for ATEX zones 1/2 and 21/22.
  • Self‑limiting heating cable ensures safe, stable output.
  • No external controller required for operation.
  • Anti‑static PVC outer layer improves durability.
  • IP 54 protection guards against dust and splashing water.
  • ATEX junction box allows fast cable replacement.
  • Optional insulating lid improves heat retention.

Also known as IBC heater jackets, heated IBC systems and IBC tote heaters, these ATEX IBC heaters support critical liquid transfer processes in hazardous environments. Moreover, they protect product quality with consistent, dependable temperature control.

Ideal for:

  • Frost protection for outdoor IBC storage
  • Reducing the viscosity of difficult, slow-flowing media
  • Heating grease, lacquer, varnish and other industrial coating materials
  • Reducing the likelihood of product degradation, separation or crystallisation
  • Maintaining stable temperatures during processing

Is this ATEX IBC heater suitable for both gas and dust Ex-zones?

Yes. It is certified for zones 1/2 (gas) and 21/22 (dust).

Does this ATEX IBC heater require a controller?

No. This model uses a self‑limiting heating cable and operates without a controller.

Can this heater be used outdoors?

Yes. An IP 54 ingress-protected junction box allows safe use in sheltered outdoor environments.

Should I use an insulating lid with this heater?

Yes. A lid improves heat retention, speeding up heating times while providing enhanced frost and UV protection.

This ATEX IBC heater delivers safe, compliant and efficient heating for 1000 L containers used and stored in explosive atmospheres. It can be used in conjunction with an optional insulating lid to bring down heating times and reduce electricity consumption.  Furthermore, this heater is compatible with Flux ATEX IBC pumps and accessories.
