| Hazardous Area and Explosive Atmosphere Heating Equipment |
LMK Thermosafe has an extensive track record in developing and manufacturing
ATEX and IECEx certified drum and container heating products. For over three
decades, our trusted THERMOSAFE Induction Heater has dominated the market,
providing unparalleled safety, efficiency, and reliability. Our accompanying FARATHERM Induction Base Heater is equally enduring and significantly
accelerates the heating process.
We also offer a growing range of fully certified Flexible Heating Jackets marked
with our Inteliheat brand.
| Flexible Heating Jackets |
Our range of Flexible Heating Jackets is renowned worldwide and offers a simple
yet effective solution. These jackets seamlessly wrap around the vessel, fasten
with adjustable retaining straps and quick-release buckle clips, and allow you
to set the desired temperature with integrated fully adjustable thermostats.
Available in both 240-volt and 110-volt versions, they are ideal for a wide
variety of plastic, fibre, and metal containers, including drums, tubs, buckets,
kegs, carboys, totes, and IBCs. The jackets distribute heat evenly over a large
surface area, minimizing the risk of product damage. Moreover, they require no
regular maintenance, providing a fit-and-forget solution that is safe for
24-hour use.
Custom Heating Jacket Design
At LMK Thermosafe Ltd, we manufacture a wide range of drum and container heating
products for process industries worldwide. Our Flexible Heating Jackets are
highly versatile, allowing for customization to fit various container sizes and
specifications. This bespoke service is particularly valuable for customers
requiring rapid heating and efficient insulation of non-standard containers. The
jackets feature outer surfaces made of tough, water-resistant nylon materials
and inner layers crafted from unique coated glass cloths, providing protection
against chemicals and long-term temperature durability. To minimize heat loss,
we employ high-efficiency insulation, we can therefore also supply unheated
insulated covers for containers where electrical power is not required or
unavailable.
| Gas Cylinder Wrap-Around Heaters |
Many laboratory and industrial processes require a continuous supply of gas from
pressurized cylinders storing the gas in its liquid phase. In situations where
the utilization rate is high, frost can develop on the cylinder's surface,
resulting in adverse effects on flow rates. Our range of efficient and insulated
heating solutions effectively prevent this occurrence, restoring stability to
the flow rate. This is particularly crucial when utilizing calibration gases,
where repeatability is of utmost importance. (Separate pressure monitoring
systems should always be in place to meet health and safety requirements).
Our standard product range includes a selection of flexible heating jackets for
pressurised gas cylinders. These have been designed with a variety of control
options for both safe and hazardous 'Ex' areas where there is risk of explosion.
We manufacture to CE, ATEX/IECEx, UL and CSA standards in our ISO9001 certified
factories in the UK.
In addition to our standard flexible heating jackets tailored for commonly used
"K" sized cylinders, we also provide customization options for cylinders of
various sizes in both hazardous and non-hazardous areas, including horizontally
oriented cylinders with capacities reaching several thousand litres. These
jackets can be equipped with an array of power and temperature control features,
including our latest ATEX/IECEx patented "ProxATEX" digital controller. This
advanced controller offers precise temperature measurement, multiple heating
program adjustments, and user access control using secure NFC cards.
| THERMOSAFE Type A Induction Heater |
The patented THERMOSAFE Type A Induction Heater is a reliable and efficient
solution for safely heating 205L drums or smaller steel vessels. It operates by
utilizing a single induction coil encased in a specially developed resin
cylinder, which is placed over the drum without direct contact. This
induction-based approach generates heat uniformly in the drum wall through an
alternating magnetic field, eliminating hot elements and ensuring the heater
remains cooler than the drum.
Safety is a paramount feature of the THERMOSAFE Induction Heater, as it
eliminates hot elements and encapsulates all electrical components, enabling
unattended use and safe operation in hazardous areas. The absence of hot drums
allows for heating at the point of use, reducing the need to transport hot drums
and minimizing the risk of product degradation and fire hazards from accidental
spills.
The THERMOSAFE Induction Heater offers exceptional efficiency, with low power
usage of only 2.25kW and energy savings of over 50% compared to conventional
radiant drum heaters. It achieves fast heating rates by utilizing the entire
drum wall for energy input, resulting in significant time savings compared to
traditional ovens. Furthermore, the induction heating technology provides an
initial rapid response, making the THERMOSAFE 2-4 times faster than ovens.
In addition to its efficiency and safety, the THERMOSAFE Induction Heater
boasts flexibility and versatility. It can be used at the point of use,
integrated into the process, or as a replacement for drum ovens. Its
adaptability allows for easy adjustment of capacity to meet varying throughput
demands and heating requirements for different materials. The heater's
accessibility during heating enables the use of pumps and stirrers, while its
maintenance-free design ensures durability even in harsh environments.

Multi-Size
Pipe/Cable Heating Jackets & Base Heaters
Self-limiting - Totally safe rolled onto itself!
LMK Thermosafe are pleased to present our latest award-winning product
'GrafHeat' using advanced heating technology. The heater membrane is the
culmination of over 10 years cutting edge research and development, merging the
fundamental materials science of Graphene and Polymer Composites. The technology
uses a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect to control both power and
temperature of the heating devices resulting in extremely safe solutions. These
are applied in novel and economic ways for both standard and potentially
explosive industrial applications.
'GrafHeat Cable Heating Jackets' are developed especially for application
requiring cable or pipe heating. These easy to install jackets can be overlapped
and therefore used with various size cables and pipes. They are very safe to
use, with or without adjustable temperature control. Optimal energy efficiency
and cost saving is guaranteed with automatic regulation of power dependent on
the load. The jackets are hugely versatile, operating equally with both 110 and
240 Vac power supplies.
Safe and versatile
These heating solutions are truly self-regulating and do not require additional
temperature control for basic safety. The standard cut-off temperature is 110oC
with custom designs also possible. Many customers add one of our digital
indicating temperature controllers for versatility at lower temperatures. This
is the standard configuration for cable and pipe heaters where on-site
contractors require the certainty of safety in a 'one size fits all' design but
have multiple target temperatures to achieve in any specific project.
Thanks to the inherent PTC effect limiting both temperature and power, our stock
jacket can be used with cables and pipes ranging from 30 to 120 mm diameter.
Contact LMK Thermosafe to find out how GrafHeat can offer safe solutions for
your surface heating projects.
