Special Heating Jackets
Process safety, energy efficiency, and product quality in industrial facilities depend on successful temperature control. Maintaining constant temperatures is critical, especially during the transport and storage of temperature-sensitive materials such as chemicals, food products, pharmaceutical raw materials, and petrochemical derivatives. This is where the key steps come in. special heating jackets, offers an ideal solution from both technical and economic perspectives. At EHT Engineering, with nearly 30 years of experience, we design and manufacture custom heating jackets for every structure and process need.
What is a Heating Jacket?
A heating jacket is an electrically operated heating system used by wrapping it around the exterior of equipment such as tanks, drums, IBC containers, pumps, valves, or pipes. These jackets maintain the liquid or gas inside the equipment at a specific temperature. They also prevent freezing, reduce viscosity, and ensure process continuity.
EHT Engineering's specially produced jackets stand out with their advantages such as high temperature resistance, easy assembly and disassembly, long-lasting use and energy efficiency.
EHT Engineering's Design Approach
Every facility and every piece of equipment has unique needs. Therefore, standard products are often insufficient. At EHT Engineering, we take on-site measurements, analyze the equipment's geometry and operating conditions, and then manufacture custom heating jackets using technical textiles that meet European standards.
Main materials used in our manufacturing process:
- Silicone coated fiberglass fabric
- Aluminum coated fiberglass fabric
- Flame retardant sewing threads
- Stainless steel buckles and fasteners
- High temperature resistant resistance cables
- Digital and analog thermostats
- Thermocouple sensors
Thanks to these components, our jackets can be used successfully between -40°C and +250°C.
Application Areas
EHT Engineering's special heating jackets are used in a wide variety of industries:
- Chemical and petrochemical plants
- Food production and storage areas
- Pharmaceutical and medical production lines
- Power plants
- Refinery and mining facilities
- Purification systems
- Ship and maritime industry
We produce custom-designed jackets for IBC tanks, barrels, pumps, valves, heat exchangers, filters and pipelines, ensuring maximum efficiency in both hot and cold lines.
Temperature Control and Energy Savings
One of the biggest advantages of heating jackets is their precise temperature control and energy savings. Temperature fluctuations, especially in equipment operating outdoors, can negatively impact process efficiency. EHT Engineering's jackets:
- Keeps the temperature constant with digital thermostats
- Provides instant temperature monitoring with thermocouple sensors
- Minimizes heat loss
- Prevents freezing and crystallization
- Increases fluidity by reducing viscosity
Thanks to these features, energy consumption is reduced and product quality is preserved.
Intelligent Control Systems
Automation is essential in modern facilities. The heating jackets we offer at EHT Engineering can be integrated with intelligent control systems:
- Compatible with PLC and SCADA systems
- Remote control from mobile devices
- Increased security with alarm and warning systems
- Timer and temperature profile settings
Thanks to these systems, users can keep their heating processes under full control.
Technical Specifications

Cleaning and Maintenance
Heating jackets are much easier to clean than traditional fixed heating systems. The outer surfaces are moisture-repellent and chemical-resistant. During maintenance:
- The jacket is easy to remove
- Equipment check is performed
- The jacket is put back on
This process does not require disassembly and reassembly as in classical systems, and provides time and cost advantages.
Sustainability and Environmental Impact
At EHT Engineering, we design our heating jacket solutions with an environmentally friendly approach. Thanks to energy efficiency, we:
- Less fossil fuel is consumed
- Less carbon emissions occur
- The impact of global warming is reduced
- Greenhouse gas emissions decrease
We also minimize the environmental burden by using recyclable materials.
