LMK Thermosafe, world leaders in drum and container heating, manufacture a variety of jackets
suitable for heating IBCs and totes.
Selection of the correct equipment is dependant on many factors including material type, required
operating temperature and desired heating rates. LMK Thermosafe are pleased to assist
customers in the selection of the correct equipment for their particular application.
The single heating circuit of the IBC1 is ideal for winter anti-freeze applications while the IBC2 with
its dual heating circuits enables heating of fluids to higher temperatures. In most applications, the
IBC1 will heat a full container at an average of around 1°C per hour, and an IBC2 will heat at
between 1°C and 3°C per hour with an insulated lid in place.

Heater performance
The graph below shows a comparison of LMK Heating jackets when heating 1000L of water. An
insulated lid was fitted to the IBCs during testing. Almost all industrial liquids heat significantly
quicker than water (see material comparison below).

Temperatures measured in centre of IBC 550mm from bottom of water.
Maximum thermostat setting for IBC1 is 40 °"# $%&!'()!IBC2 it is 90 °" !

Material Comparison
Heating rates for each jacket are
dependant on the properties of the
material being heated. This graph shows
the performance of an IBC1 (limited to
40°C by thermostat) when heating a light
oil and water.
Also available from LMK Thermosafe is the
InteliHeat Hazardous Area Heating Jacket.
Suitable for heating IBCs in potentially
explosive atmospheres. Contact LMK
