In many industries, reliable temperature control during industrial heating processes is crucial, especially during the colder seasons. Low liquid viscosity can significantly slow down production, while uneven heating may damage sensitive materials like edible oils, honey and resins, increasing production costs. Opting for a drum heating jacket made of high-grade thermal insulation ensures durability, efficient heat distribution, a longer lifespan, and better overall performance compared to standard materials.

Why High-Grade Thermal Insulation Matters for Drum Heater Jackets Performance

Heating efficiency using insulated heater jackets is a combination of power input, distribution of this power, and the amount of heat that can be contained from escaping to warm the surrounding environment.  Drum heaters designed with high-grade thermal insulation result in safer heat distribution that enhances both performance and the equipment’s lifespan, particularly at higher temperatures.

Exploring SBH Solutions’ Drum Heater Range to Boost Your Heating Process

LMK Thermosafe has invested heavily in providing the right combination of fabrics and insulation that matches the duty required of the heater jacket. This means that a range has been developed which goes beyond the standards used by most competitors. SBH Solutions supplies all these ranges to suit customer needs:

• Standard Heating Jacket (HJ): This drum heating jacket range features inner and outer surfaces of polyurethane-coated black nylon with needled felt polyester insulation, suitable for general heating requirements. We also provide a water-resistant model, HJW that includes ‘WeatherHeat’ seam sealing technology for better moisture resistance, ideal for outdoor or damp environments.
• High Heat Heating Jacket (HH): This range utilises high-temperature silicone-coated glass cloth for the inner facing surface to handle higher temperatures effectively, and polyurethane-coated black nylon for the outer surface. Non-combustible stitch-bonded fibreglass insulation matting provides a superior insulation layer.
• High Power Heating Jacket (HP): This range features chemically resistant high-temperature silicone-coated glass cloth for both outer and inner surfaces. Non-combustible thick stitch-bonded fibreglass insulation matting provides the best possible insulation for demanding higher temperature heating requirements.

Distinguishing Features Compared to Other Standard Drum Heating Jackets

• The right materials to do the job: As the market leader, LMK Thermosafe is committed to using only the best materials to maximise efficiency and longevity.
• Safe to use 24/7: LMK Thermosafe flexible heater jackets are designed with safety in mind, from choosing all constituent materials (fabrics and plastics) to the most reliable thermostats, as well as using armoured power cords.
• Thermostats that won’t let you down: Whether using variable capillary thermostats, digital variable thermistors or fixed thermostats, LMK Thermosafe’s detailed research has ensured that only the most reliable temperature controllers are used in its heater jackets, giving customers comfort that they have the right product to meet their needs.
• Custom-size flexible heating jackets: SBH Solutions provides bespoke design services for non-standard containers, cylinders, and surfaces. In partnership with LMK Thermosafe, heater jackets can be manufactured suitable for virtually any size and specification.

Choosing the Right Drum Heater for Your Needs

When selecting a heating jacket, insulation can be the hidden secret that makes all the difference in achieving a customer’s processing needs.  High-grade, high-quality insulation is of supreme importance and a justification to pay more than the minimum to achieve production targets.
