What Are IBC’s?
Intermediate Bulk Containers or IBCs are multi-use, reusable industrial-grade containers designed for the transport, handling and storage of liquids, pastes, semi-solids or solids.
These can include chemicals, food ingredients, sugars, solvents, oils, waxes, cosmetics, detergents and crop science products as well as hazardous class goods such as general and speciality chemicals, resins, paint and inks.
The contents of IBCs, particularly those which may become viscous at room temperature, often needs to be heated or kept at a certain temperature in order to prevent spoiling.

IBC Heaters for Heating Slush Syrup
Slush syrups are made by infusing a simple syrup with flavouring agents during the cooking process. Simple syrup is a basic sugar and water syrup made by stirring granulated sugar into hot water until the sugar is dissolved and then it is removed from the heat to cool. During the heating process it is important not to let the temperature of the slush syrup rise above 320 °F (160 °C) to prevent the sugar from caramelising.
