A more effective way to warm contents of IBC/tote tanks

Applications:
Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) users often need to raise the product temperatures to reduce viscosity or protect the contents from the cold. When they need to do this quickly the large volume of liquid, which could be in excess of 300 gallons (1136 liters), makes it challenging. Additionally, if the tank is in an extremely cold environment, the additional frigidity causes more difficulties. Raising or maintaining the temperature to the desired level ensures materials are ready for production and easy to dispense. Failure could result in the contents being ruined, production delays, or inability to dispense at all. This may increase production costs or damage to equipment. Replacing ruined materials, waiting for usable products, and damaged equipment could be very expensive and cause serious downtime.

Solution:
The combination of Norske Backer’s TTI immersion heater and TOTEWI wrap-around insulator is an effective IBC/tote tank heating system. Performance tests show that the immersion heater, when coupled with a Norske Backer wrap-around insulator, heats four times as fast than standard wrap-around heaters. The universal-fit TTI immersion heater has 1,500 watts for maximum heat, includes a built-in controller, and a plug-and-play design. Additionally, the superalloy Incoloy 840 will not corrode and contaminate the product. The TOTEWI insulators fit any IBC with a circumference between 160 in (406 cm) and 192 in (482 cm), are easily installed using the built-in straps and buckles and are extremely durable. Both are suitable for use in wet environments.

Additional Uses:
Norske Backer offers a full line of immersion heaters and cloth insulators suitable for many applications in almost any environment.
