THERMOSAFE® Induction Heater Type A MELTS SOLIDS  HEATS LIQUIDS  TOTALLY SAFE Designed to heat 205L drums or smaller steel vessels. THERMOSAFE is a proven alternative to multi-drum ovens and the solution to a host of process heating problems, even in Hazardous Areas. SAFE EFFICIENT FAST CLEAN SIMPLE FLEXIBLE MAINTENANCE FREE

SIMPLE PRINCIPLE The THERMOSAFE is a single induction coil, wholly encapsulated in a cylinder made from a glass reinforced resin specifically developed for chemical plants. The cylinder is simply placed over the drum. Contact is not required. The coil is connected to a single-phase AC mains supply and generates heat direct and uniformly in the drum wall. Energy transfer is by alternating magnetic field and thus there is no heat transfer by the conventional and inefficient means of radiation or convection. As there are no hot elements, the heat remains substantially cooler than the drum...

FLEXIBILITY In addition to being operated a point-of-use and integrated into the process, the heaters are used extensively as replacements for, and alternatives to, drum ovens. A key point to note is that far fewer individual heaters are required than the drum capacity of an oven. For example, one particular award winning installation of three THERMOSAFE units heats 20 drums per day. The ease at which capacity can be adjusted to meet varying throughput demands and the varying heating requirements of different materials is in stark contrast to the fixed facility of an oven. MULTI-PURPOSE The...

CONTROL The THERMOSAFE heats by induction and therefore has no heating elements. The maximum temperature is self-limiting, and the drum wall temperature is governed by the material inside the drum. In the vast majority of applications additional control is not required. The THERMOSAFE remains much cooler than the vessel being heated. The consequent lack of retained heat after switching off allows for very close temperature control using simple on-off devices. The choice of control will depend on your specific requirements, and might include temperature controllers, timers, energy regulators...
