Faratherm Base Heater

Faratherm Base Heater

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The Faratherm Induction Base Heater is designed to provide heat to the base of steel or plastic 205L drums and smaller containers. It can be used individually or in conjunction with specific LMK heating products. The heater employs the same technology as the Thermosafe Induction Heater, known for its reliability and efficiency over 30 years.
Specifications: The Faratherm is powered by a single-phase AC mains supply and is suitable for hazardous areas, certified to ATEX, IECEx, UL, and CSA standards. It features an induction coil encapsulated in glass-reinforced resin with a heating plate on top. The appliance is class II with an ingress protection rating of IP66, making it suitable for harsh environments.
Heating Mechanism: The heater uses induction, eliminating the need for heating elements. The maximum temperature is self-limiting, determined by the material and heating arrangement. Additional temperature regulation is generally unnecessary, but control options are available.
Compatibility and Efficiency: The Faratherm can heat drums and containers up to 205 litres, made of HDPE plastic, steel, or stainless steel. It can be used with an LMK insulated jacket or the Thermosafe induction heater for reduced heating times. Tests show a 40% reduction in heating time when used with a Thermosafe to melt wax.
Usage Restrictions: In hazardous areas, the Faratherm cannot be used with a flexible heating jacket, regardless of the jacket's certification.
Technical Specifications: The heater operates on single-phase up to 240v, 50/60Hz AC, with a current/power consumption of 7A/500W. The heating plate diameter is 550mm, with an overall width of 887mm and a height of 59mm. The net weight is 45kg.
Certification Details: The product meets standards EN IEC 60079-0:2018, EN 60079-7:2015+A1:2018, EN 60079-31:2014, with certificate numbers Sira 07ATEX3034X, IECEx SIR 07.0017X, CSAE 21UKEX3409X. It is certified for zones 1, 2, 21, and 22.
Graph Analysis: The temperature graph indicates the efficiency of the Faratherm when used with the Thermosafe, showing a significant reduction in time to reach desired temperatures.

Faratherm Base Heater-1

FARATHERM® Induction Base Heater Provides heat to the base of steel or plastic 205L drums and smaller containers May be used individually, or with specific LMK heating products* Uses the same technology as the proven Thermosafe Induction Heater Suitable for hazardous area use (certified to ATEX, IECEx, UL & CSA standards) The Faratherm Induction Base Heater consists of an induction coil, encapsulated in glass reinforced resin with a heating plate located on top. It has been developed using the same technology as the Thermosafe Induction Heater - a very reliable and efficient product in use worldwide for over 30 years. Powered by a singlephase ac mains supply, it will heat the base of drums and containers placed onto it. The Faratherm is a class II appliance safe to use in hazardous areas (zones 1, 2, 21 and 22). It is fully certified to meet ATEX, IECEx, UL and CSA requirements. With an ingress protection rating of IP66 and no moving parts, it is suitable for use in harsh environments or where regular cleaning is required. The plate is heated by induction and therefore there are no heating elements. The maximum temperature is self limiting this is governed by the material being heated and the heating arrangement. In most applications additional temperature regulation is not required, however control options are available – please ask for more information.

Faratherm Base Heater-2

Drums and containers up to 205 litres / 55 US gal may be heated. HDPE plastic, steel or stainless steel are all suitable. The Faratherm will heat drums and containers by itself. However, for reduced heating times it can also be used with an LMK insulated jacket, or the Thermosafe induction heater, with or without a “tophat”. (Certified “T” ratings will vary.) Testing has shown that the addition of a Faratherm when using a Thermosafe to melt a solid or wax will significantly shorten the heating time. A 40% time reduction for a full drum of wax to be melted to 80 °C has been recorded. Temperature...
