IBC heating mat for 1000L container 60°C thermostat

An IBC heating mat is used to heat filling material by heating the mat between the IBC pallet and the inner container. However, as a cheaper alternative to heating jackets, a heating mat is somewhat more complex to install.
This IBC heating mat works by means of about 27m long, silicone-coated heating wires which are aluminum-laminated on both sides. This results in optimal stability and heat distribution. The built-in thermostats prevent overheating. The control thermostat is used to heat the product to 60°C (ATTENTION: The surface temperature of the mat can be up to 90°C!) In case of malfunction or failure of the control thermostat, the limiter thermostat controls the heating and limits the heating of the product to a maximum of 70°C. It should be noted, however, that the effective heat development of the product depends on several factors. First and foremost, the nature of the product must be taken into account in terms of its heat transfer coefficient. The ambient temperature and the pallet type of the IBC in question also play an important role. Container pallets with a steel tray (top surface / contact surface of the pallet with the IBC liner) are more suitable than wooden or plastic pallets, as these reflect / dissipate heat more strongly and thus absorb less. 

IMPORTANT NOTES: IBC tank heating mats may only be operated with filled IBCs! DO NOT undertake a "dry test". This could damage the IBC inner tank or even cause it to melt.
The heating mat must be mounted between the IBC bladder and the pallet, never on the side or on top of the IBC. In order to remove the inner container of the IBC tank from the grid body, the cross struts on top must first be unscrewed. This usually requires unscrewing four screws on the top of the IBC. After unscrewing, the struts can be pulled out sideways and the IBC bladder can be pulled out upwards. Tip: To pull the bladder out of the lattice box without outside help, the IBC tank can also be laid on its side.
The IBC heating mat is then placed on the pallet and the cable is run out to the side. Then the assembly takes place with insertion of the inner tank and screwing of the cross struts.

The heating mat has a Euro plug and it is mandatory to operate it on a connection with a residual current circuit breaker of 30mA and a circuit breaker 10A.

Be sure to read and follow the supplied instructions for proper operation of the heating mat.
