Inditherm launches new portable drum heaters

Coloured blocks

Inditherm recently supplied two innovative, new portable drum heating systems to a leading global pharmaceutical company. There were two versions supplied; one was a two-drum system on a pallet with additional base heaters and also heaters for the extraction lances; the other was a three drum system.

The removable jacket heaters are used to warm viscous products, so that they can be extracted from the drums more quickly. Although the drums were a standard 205 litre size, the system could be designed to fit virtually any size of drum. The heaters are capable of heating the contents of the drum up to 90°C, although in this case the requirement was for up to 70°C.

Both systems can be moved around the factory on a forklift truck, giving the system significant flexibility.

Inditherm is working with another of the client's plants to develop a similar, bespoke system that they hope will become a standard product for the Company.
