ATEX IBC/Tote Tank Heater

Norske Backer's ATEX approved enclosed Tote and IBC heaters are designed to provide even heat distribution and maximum energy efficiency in explosive environments. With their robust construction and fully insulated design, these heaters are ideal for indoor or outdoor use and are earthed for increased safety. Suitable for use on steel or plastic IBCs, these heaters require an ATEX certified temperature controller.

Temperatures up to 200 °C (392 °F). 2 built-in PT100 RTD sensors for process temperature and upper limit temperature monitoring. IP rating: IP65.

Various liquids, gases and even solids are often stored in bulk containers. Common containers include drums, IBC tanks and gas cylinders. In order to effectively protect the contents from the cold, reduce viscosity or increase efficiency for easy dispensing, the contents must be kept warm. If the temperature of the contents falls below desired levels, the contents may be damaged or unable to be dispensed at all. Many of these containers are located in hazardous areas where ATEX certification is a requirement for the type of heaters permitted for use.
