Best IBC Tote Heaters

Heating IBC Totes has long been a difficult proposition, escpecially in colder climates.   Chemicals, resins, spray foam, food products and other temperature sensitive materials are stored in large totes.  When temperatures fall below freezing, tote contents can easily become spoiled or ruined.  Heating large IBC totes is no easy task, but we’ve scoured the web and found a couple of very nice produts that do a bang up job of heating and insulating IBC  Totes, including larger tanks & silos.  And the winner is…

#1 - Powerblanket manufactures a complete line of IBC Tote Heaters with thermostatic controllers to dial in temperature to exact requirements.  We tested the Powerblanket TH330 (330 gal.) with internal heat spreading technology and an adjustable thermostat controller, all retailing at about $1399.  Price tag seemed a lot less than competitors models,  however any worries we had about quality were quickly replaced with intrigue as we wrapped our first IBC with the Powerblanket.  It was obvious from the onset that the Powerblanket was very well built and included all the neccessary straps and clips to quickly secure it to our tote… this was no bare-bones base model heater.  What was really amazing was how quickly the blanket reached our target temperature of 130° F. The included thermostat controller included a unique heat probe that inserted directly into our tote allowing us to dial in the temperature to our target temp.  We used a solution of water and sodium for test purposes and found that the Powerblanket TH330 did a superb job of both heating and maintaining heat after unplugging.  The insulation within the Powerblanket really made a difference after we uplugged the TH330.  Heat loss was minimal even after being unplugged for 6 hours.  Further examination revealed that the powerblanket did not produce cold or hot spots which is a common complaint with competitor models.  Powerblanket’s heat spreading technology delivered a barrier of warmth that is unlike any other product we have reviewed.  A very solid piece of equipment which we are happy to give our “BEST BUY” 2010 buyers award!  See their complete products online at www.powerblanket.com
