LB Series IBC ATEX Container Heater - Operating Temperature 65°C

LB ATEX Series IBC Heater: Latest Generation Thermal Control and Safety

Heating IBC Containers (Intermediate Bulk Containers) in industrial environments requires a solution that excels in both performance and safety. The LB ATEX Series IBC Heater is a state-of-the-art solution designed specifically for hazardous and explosive environments. This device is fully certified for ATEX zones 1, 2, 21 and 22, ensuring full compliance with the highest industrial safety standards. Whether your need is freezing protection for sensitive materials, maintaining constant temperatures for delicate chemical processes, or safely heating volatile industrial substances, the LB ATEX series offers unmatched reliability and efficiency.

Maximum Certification and Resistance to Extreme Conditions

Peace of mind starts with certification. The IBC LB Series heater has the specific certifications CETS 23 ATEX 030 X and CETS 23 ATEX 031 U, attesting to its validation by notified bodies for explosive atmospheres. It is designed to cover all temperature classes of the ATEX spectrum, from T6 (the most stringent) to T1, offering total versatility depending on the nature of the gases, vapours or dusts present. Its design for durability is reinforced by an IP65 rating. This superior level of protection ensures exceptional dust resistance and total impermeability to water jets, making it perfectly suited to the harshest working conditions and prolonged outdoor use.

Advanced Technology: Self-Regulating Cable and Simplified Maintenance

The LB series stands out for its combination of practicality and durability. This heater incorporates a high-performance self-regulating heating cable. This technology is a major advantage, as it allows the cable to adjust its power output according to the ambient temperature and fluid needs, ensuring safe and energy-efficient operation. Another significant advantage is the integrated, ATEX-certified junction box. This intelligent design simplifies maintenance: if necessary, the connection cable can be replaced quickly and easily, significantly reducing costly downtime for your production processes. The 5-meter connection cable is specified as 3G1.5mm², ensuring a robust and compliant link.

Quality Materials and Targeted Industrial Applications

The heater's robustness is ensured by its outer shell, which is made of antistatic and water-repellent PVC fabric. These materials are not only durable and water-resistant, but they are also flame retardant (B2 classification), adding a layer of physical security. The antistatic character is essential to prevent the accumulation of electrical charges that could cause a spark in an explosive area. This heater is the tool of choice for industries handling chemicals, oils and other volatile substances or requiring specific treatments.

Common applications include:

• Freeze protection: Keeps fluids above freezing even at low ambient temperatures (down to -20 degrees Celsius).

• Temperature Maintenance: Ensures consistent viscosity for efficient pumping or mixing.

• Chemical treatment: Facilitation of reactions or dilutions that require a precise temperature.

Thermal Control and Operating Range

The operating ambient temperature for the LB Series ranges from -20 degrees Celsius to +55 degrees Celsius, ensuring reliability in a wide variety of industrial climates. The internal operating temperature is managed by the self-regulating cable itself, providing a threshold of 65 degrees Celsius when the heater is powered on and a maximum of 85 degrees Celsius when it is powered off. This automatic throttling, coupled with the adaptability of the self-limiting heating cable to the power output needed for the volume of the IBC, ensures safe and energy-efficient heat management. Trust the LB Series ATEX IBC Heater for unmatched safety and efficiency in all your industrial heating needs.
