LMK Thermosafe

LMK Thermosafe is the premier manufacturer of advanced heating solutions for drums, containers and Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), both in safe and hazardous, potentially explosive environments. Founded in 1986, the company launched the revolutionary THERMOSAFE® electromagnetic induction heater, quickly setting new standards for safety and efficiency in industrial drum heating. Now with decades of innovation and expansion, LMK Thermosafe delivers robust, energy-efficient industrial heating solutions (insulated heating jackets, base heaters, induction heaters, etc) that serve a diverse clientele in a multitude of industries in well over 60 countries worldwide. As industry pioneers in the technology of heating surfaces in industrial applications, including in hazardous, potentially explosive areas, LMK Thermosafe adheres to the very highest international standards and strives to meet the intricate needs of industry customers.

LMK Thermosafe: Drum and IBC Heating

• “HJ” standard insulated heating jackets – suitable for 25-litre drums to 205-litre drums, heating up to 40-45°C.
• “High-heat” insulated heating jackets – suitable for handling higher temperature requirements for 25-litre to 205-litre drums, as well as gas bottles, IBCs and custom containers.
• “High-power” insulated heating jackets – ideal for demanding higher temperature heating requirements.
• Electromagnetic Induction heaters for faster heating of drums, particularly products that are solid at room temperature.
• Custom heater jackets of any size including hoppers, curved surfaces (such as composite curing on yacht hulls and wind turbine blades) or complex shapes (such as valves).

LMK Thermosafe: Drum and IBC heating for Hazardous Areas

LMK Thermosafe offers the widest range of ATEX and IECEx Zone 1, 2, 21, and 22-rated insulated heating jackets for drums and IBCs and other containers. LMK Thermosafe’s InteliHeat FlexiPlus technology is unique in that it allows design to strict IECEx standards as well as CSA / UL and ATEX.  These jackets are constructed using custom elastomer, silicone-coated glass cloth materials, and high-density fibreglass insulation. Safe operating conditions are maintained even in the presence of potentially explosive gases and dust and are certifed to T3 and T4 temperature levels.

• InteliHeat FlexiPlus insulated heating jackets – designed to easily fit around 200L plastic and metal drums. Other sizes of heating jackets for other containers are also available.
• Thermosafe Induction drum heaters – Thermosafe is a drum heating enclosure that uses electromagnetism to heat the contents of a steel drum. It is highly efficient as it heats the drum directly, reducing heat loss and providing uniform heating. Proven to be up to 2-4 times faster than drum ovens, the Thermosafe drum heater can typically raise the temperature of the drum contents by 15ºC per hour.
• Faratherm base heater – Faratherm electromagnetic induction heater can be used on its own to warm drums from 25 litres up to 205 litres in stainless steel, mild steel or plastic (the induction process transfers to a steel heating plate).  When used with Thermosafe, Faratherm has been shown to increase heating rates of waxes by up to 40%.
