Dolfin Internal IBC Heating System with Sensitive Product Protection

This innovative rapid internal heating system offers sensitive protection to chemicals and viscous foodstuffs such as syrups, honey, molasses and fats which are notoriously difficult to process. Designed for insertion into 1000 Litre IBCs, the finned, food safe heating element heats the contents directly with the base of the heating unit next to the outlet valve.

The unique thermodynamic core gives even temperature distribution along the heating extrusion, preventing thermal damage/burning of the liquid contents. Capable of delivering up to 2.4kW of controlled power, this ‘inside the box’ approach is practical for the chemicals, food processing and manufacturing industries.

It speeds up the batching process, therefore increasing efficiency and reducing down time in comparison to traditional heating methods. It is fitted with stainless steel handles for easy insertion and extraction.

Features

• Innovative rapid internal heating system for viscous foodstuffs and chemicals
• Microprocessor solid state control with intelligent monitoring and fin temperature control
• Intended for insertion into 1000L IBCs but can fit inside most IBC configurations
• Finned, food safe heating element that heats the contents directly
• 230/ 240 Volts ac; up to 2.4kW power output
• Fast batching ability
• Increases efficiency and reduces down time in comparison to traditional heating processes
• Unique thermodynamic core gives even temperature distribution along the heating extrusion, preventing thermal damage/burning of the liquid contents
• Carefully designed low Watt density to protect sensitive products
• Easily adjustable temperature range (0°C to 70°C)
• Industrial strength food grade Xylan coating for non-stick of viscous products and easy washdown
• Protective sleeve between the base of the control unit and the neck of the IBC to prevent ingress of contaminants
• Lightweight and robust construction
• Stainless steel handles for easy insertion and extraction
• Coloured LED for power cycle and status indication
• 16 Amp blue industrial power plug
• IP67-rated body with potentiometer control mounted under protective see-through cover
• Sealed to ensure that all the connections and components are waterproof
• Robust IP67-rated aluminium case
• Long life heating elements

The unit has an industrial strength food grade coating for non-stick of viscous products and effortless washdown. It features a large-fin area which has been carefully constructed to provide maximum heating surface area potential, with the temperature range (0°C to 70°C) easily adjustable by turning the dial on top of the heater.

Robust and lightweight, the product is sealed to ensure that all the connections and components are waterproof. Both the aluminium case and body with pontentiometer control are IP67-rated, meaning they provide full protection against dust and other particulates, as well as resistance against immersion in water for up to 30 minutes at depths between 15 cm and 1 metre.

Heating Time Guidelines

We have received specific customer feedback on the following foodstuffs:

• Water - heats at about 3°C per hour.
• Glucose - raised from 20°C to 55°C in 16 hours.
• Beef Tallow - from a solid block at ambient temperature to 70°C overnight.
