Stainless steel heater Faratherm

Overview
The industrial heater base from the Faratherm range is designed to efficiently heat the bottom of 205-liter drums (plastic, steel, or stainless steel), even in explosive atmospheres. It uses induction heating technology to ensure safety and efficiency in demanding environments. It can be used alone or together with other heating equipment, such as Inteliheat heating jackets or the Thermosafe® induction drum heater, to optimize performance.

Key benefits

• Induction technology: Fast, contactless heating without a resistive element.
• ATEX and IECEx certified: Suitable for use in potentially explosive areas (Zones 1 and 2).
• IP66 protection: Engineered for operation in harsh conditions.
• Compatibility: Works with plastic, steel and stainless-steel drums and similar containers.

Main applications

• Heating 205 L drums or smaller in industrial environments.
• Use in potentially explosive areas (Zones 1 and 2).
• Complementary heating solution to accelerate melting of solids or waxes in combination with Inteliheat jackets or Thermosafe® induction heaters.

Safety and compliance

• Complies with EN 60079-0:2004, EN 60079-7:2003, IEC61241-0:2004, EN61241-1:2004.
• Double insulation (Class 2).
• Ingress protection: IP66.

Options and accessories

• Insulating cover for 200 L drum — thermal insulation of the drum after using the heating base; not to be used with a heating jacket but can be used simultaneously with a base (Ref: 690402).
• ATEX Thermosafe induction drum heater — can be used simultaneously with the Faratherm heating base; ATEX certification for the assembly (Ref: 610401).
• Power variator — must be installed outside the ATEX zone; non-ATEX (Ref: 690001).
