The FARATHERM® is an induction coil encapsulated in glass-fibre-reinforced resin, with a heater plate on top: it heats the base of drums and containers placed on the plate. It uses the same technology as the THERMOSAFE heater, in use worldwide for over 30 years.

  • For drums and containers up to 205 L / 55 US gal in HDPE, steel or stainless steel
  • Class II appliance certified for Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22 (ATEX, IECEx, UKEX; UL/CSA on request)
  • The plate is heated by induction: no heating elements and a self-limiting maximum temperature that depends on the material and configuration
  • IP66 and no moving parts: suitable for harsh environments and frequent washdown

It can be used on its own or, for shorter times, with an LMK insulation jacket or with the THERMOSAFE, with or without Top Hat (the certified T class changes). With THERMOSAFE + FARATHERM, the time to melt a full drum of wax to 80 °C was reduced by 40%. In hazardous areas, the FARATHERM cannot be used with a flexible heating jacket, whatever its certification.
