Safety Features of Heaters for Conveyor Belts

UL approved burner unit
High temperature shut down
Fail safe shut down device stops belt heater when belt movement stops
Thermostatically controlled operation prevents unit from operating when temperatures rise
Burner unit automatically trips out should they fail to ignite. They must then be manually reset to resume operation.

Benefits of Heaters for Conveyor Belts

Totally eliminate downtime due to frost and ice on conveyor belts, drive rolls, idler rolls, clam shell gates, belt scrapers, and more. Stop damage to rip detection sensor loops.
Eliminate labor costs associated with personnel monitoring belt operations during severe weather
Significant cost savings and none of the environmental issues associated with using antifreeze
Guaranteed to provide around-the-clock elimination of frost and ice build-up, unlike hit and miss antifreeze systems
Eliminate the need to enclose conveyors, saving tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in construction costs
