Intermediate Bulk Container

Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC)

What Is an IBC Drum Heater?
An IBC drum heater is an electric heating device designed specifically to fit around or
underneath intermediate bulk containers, which are large, cube-shaped tanks typically used to
store and transport liquids or semi-solids.

These heaters apply consistent, controlled heat to the contents of an IBC, helping to:
 Reduce viscosity of thick materials
 Prevent freezing in cold environments
 Maintain process temperatures during storage or handling
 Ensure uniform product quality

IBC heaters are commonly used in industries like:
 Food & Beverage
 Chemicals & Petrochemicals
 Pharmaceuticals
 Cosmetics & Personal Care
 Adhesives, Paints, and Coatings

Key Benefits of IBC Drum Heaters

 Improved Material Handling
Heated IBCs make it easier to pour, pump, or mix materials like honey, resins, molasses, oils, or
gels.

 Temperature Consistency
Heaters help maintain consistent internal temperatures, critical for sensitive chemical and food
products.

 Energy Efficiency
Targeted, controlled heating reduces the need to heat entire rooms or facilities.

 Product Integrity
Prevents separation, crystallization, or degradation of temperature-sensitive materials.

 Space Saving
Heaters work with standard IBC sizes (275 to 330 gallons), eliminating the need for large heated
storage rooms.

Applications Across Industries

Chemical & Petrochemical
Maintain flow properties of solvents, emulsions, polymers, and adhesives.
 Food & Beverage
Heat and maintain temperature for syrups, oils, chocolate, honey, and dairy products.
Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics
Prevent crystallization or separation in creams, gels, and active ingredients.
 Manufacturing & Industrial Processing
Preheat or condition materials used in batching, mixing, or application lines.
