IBC Heater – Multi Zone Heating Jackets for 1000 L IBC Containers

This IBC heater delivers high thermal efficiency and ensures consistent product flow during pumping, mixing and dispensing tasks. Also known as tote warmers, IBC heating jackets and IBC heated jackets, these simple heaters stop products freezing and maintain temperature-curing products at safe levels.

• Reduces viscosity for easier pumping with Flux Viscopower drum pumps.
• Digital controllers maintain accurate temperature settings.
• Multi‑zone heating significantly speeds up warm‑up times.
• Teflon‑coated Cordura outer fabric resists wear and moisture.
• Silicone‑insulated resistance elements deliver even heat distribution.
• Polyester insulation minimises heat loss during transport.
• Quick‑release buckles ensure fast installation and removal.
• Lightweight construction supports safe handling in production areas.
• Works effectively with heating cabinets.
• Can be used in conjunction with Flux Viscopower IBC pumps.
• Flux IBC heated jackets can be paired effectively with the optional IBC insulated lid, for faster heating times, improved efficiency and reduced heat loss. The lid also helps shield the container surface from UV exposure in demanding environments.

Additional specifications:

• Polyester outer and inner layers
• Silicone‑insulated spiral‑wound heating elements
• Silicone‑coated fibreglass heating surface for dependable thermal contact.
• 8 mm polyester insulation layer helps retain heat efficiently.
• Teflon‑insulated resistance wire delivers consistent heating performance.
• Built‑in thermal overload fuse activates at 172°C for added operational protection.
• 3 m power cable with 230 V 3-pin plug adaptor
• IP40 protection
• Warm‑up example: 1000 litres of water from +15°C to +50°C in ~48 hours with 2 × 1000 W heaters and insulated lid
• Insulated lid sold separately

Suitable for heating:

• Water, oils and diesel fuel
• Coatings, resins, waxes and lanolin
• Cosmetic ingredients
• Petroleum jelly, fats and ghee
• Gels, syrups, pastes and other viscous food ingredients
• Coatings, lubricants and chemical polymer blends
• Adhesives and glues
• Temperature‑sensitive industrial liquids

Why use an IBC heater for viscous materials?

Heaters reduce product viscosity and improve flowability, while reducing costly residual product waste. They also maintain heat-sensitive media at safe levels, reducing the risk of curing, separation, degradation or crystallisation.

What is the difference between the three IBC heater options?

The single‑zone model heats more slowly to a maximum of 40 deg C, while the dual‑zone and triple‑zone models heat faster with higher temperature range up to 90 deg C.

Can I use this heater during transport?

Yes. The secure buckles and durable Cordura outer cover resist abrasion during transport.

How quickly can the IBC heater warm a 1000 L container?

With an insulated lid fitted, a 1000 litre IBC filled with water can be heated from +15°C to +30°C at different speeds, depending on the number of active heating zones. As a guide, the single-zone version may take around 72 hours, the dual-zone version around 20 hours, and the triple-zone version approximately 6 hours.

This IBC heater delivers precise heating, proven durability and consistent performance. It integrates seamlessly with Flux IBC pumps and Flux barrel pumps, ensuring smooth transfer of heated materials. Moreover, it supports improved workflows across chemical, food, cosmetic, adhesive and lubricant manufacturing applications.
