Heaters for Conveyor Belts: Features & Benefits
Standard Features of Heaters for Conveyor Belts
- Set it and forget it operation
- Fuel oil or propane fired
- Large fuel capacities allow the heater to run for weeks or months without refueling (depending on tank size selected)
- Not affected by dust, rain, snow, or corrosive atmosphere
- Electric available for some applications
- Adjustable heat output from 35,000 BTU to over 1,000,000 BTU
- Belt heaters controlled by built in slip switch that automatically stops heater when belt stops
- Operates in dusty conditions using remote mounted air filtering system
- BUTs/fuel consumption adjustable
- Belt heaters are direct fired, causing instant de-icing of the belt surface
- Self-contained fuel pump
- Thermostatically controlled
- UL approved components
- Custom engineered units as required
- Durable/dependable/efficient
- Patented and patents pending
- The most economical method of eliminating frost and ice on conveyor belts GUARANTEED
- Lifetime stainless steel construction
- Allowed by MSHA
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
