Heating High Viscosity Fluids
Explore drum heaters and IBC heaters to maximise productivity
Reducing Viscosity to Improve Processing
Highly viscous fluids, such as honey, edible oils, some surfactants, epoxies and industrial greases, present significant resistance to flow particularly when cold. These substances often necessitate heating to lower their viscosity, making them more manageable for processing. At SBH Solutions, we provide the most extensive range of drum heaters and Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) heaters in Australia. We are here to help you find the best solution to suit your specific viscosity reduction needs.
SBH Solutions Industrial Heating Jackets are suitable for:
- heating greases
- heating honey
- heating coconut oil
- heating chicken fat
- heating paint
- heating palm oil
- heating molasses
- heating other edible oils
- heating pharmaceutical ingredients
