IBC and Barrel Heaters are products manufactured in special or standard sizes with the desired power levels to keep the fluid contained within the heaters at the desired temperature or to prevent freezing.
Many organic or chemical substances stored in barrels or IBC containers in industrial facilities often lose their fluidity at room temperature, making them difficult to transport and use. Therefore, using an electric heater is one of the fastest and safest solutions.

Drum, Gas Cylinder and IBC Tank Heaters with EHT Engineering

Smart Solutions for Safe, Efficient and Controlled Heating of Industrial Liquids and Gases

Maintaining the correct temperature of liquids and gases in industrial production processes is critical for product quality, process safety, and energy efficiency. Temperature control becomes a vital requirement, especially during the processing and transportation of substances that increase in viscosity, crystallize, or freeze at low temperatures. At EHT Engineering, we offer safe and long-lasting solutions tailored to this need, with our Drum Heaters, Gas Cylinder Heaters, and IBC Tank Heaters.

The Main Purpose of Heating Systems

Electric heating systems used to provide temperature control in closed volumes such as barrels, tubes and tanks containing liquids and gases serve the following purposes:

• Prevent freezing and crystallization
• Increasing fluidity by reducing viscosity
• Maintaining homogeneity of products
• Ensuring process continuity
• Optimizing energy consumption
• Increasing safety during storage and transportation

The solutions offered by EHT Engineering are designed for both mobile and fixed applications.

Barrel Heaters

Drum Heaters are typically used to heat liquids stored in standard 200-liter drums. These systems:

• Silicone coated heating jackets
• Velcro or belt fastening systems
• Thermostatically controlled temperature adjustment
• 230 V – 1500 W power options
• IP44 – IP65 protection class

It is ideal for reducing the viscosity of substances such as resin, wax, glucose, oil, bitumen and for providing pre-process preparation.

Application Areas:

• Chemical and petrochemical plants
• Food production areas
• Paint and coating facilities
• Pharmaceutical industry
• Cosmetics production

Gas Cylinder Heaters

Gases such as LPG, propane, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide found in gas cylinders can lose pressure at low temperatures, reducing system performance. Gas Cylinder Heaters offered by EHT Engineering:

• Silicone resistant jacket structure
• Keeping gas pressure constant in environments below 0°C
• Thermostatic temperature control
• Safe design against explosion risk
• Production suitable for different tube diameters

It ensures safe and efficient operation of gas systems with its features.

Application Areas:

• Industrial gas systems
• Laboratories
• Medical gas applications
• Mobile gas equipment
• Facilities in cold climate regions

IBC Tank Heaters

IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) tanks, typically 1000 liters in volume, are used for the transport and storage of liquids. Liquids in these tanks can freeze or crystallize at low temperatures. EHT Engineering's IBC Tank Heaters:

• Fiberglass silicone coated heating jackets
• Power options between 1650 W and 3200 W
• Precise temperature control with digital thermostat
• Bottom base heater option
• IP65 protection class

It ensures that the liquids in the IBC tank remain at ideal temperature.

Application Areas:

• Resin and glue production
• Food and beverage industry
• Transportation of chemical liquids
• Medicine and medical liquid storage
• Automotive and textile chemicals
