Heating Jackets | Custom & Standard | Available From Stock | Contact Us Today
Heating jackets are manufactured according to our own Heatfast brand specifications using heat tracing cables and thermal insulation jackets – these heating jackets are used to provide frost protection, conserve heat and maintain plant process temperatures to prevent viscosity loss, coagulation, clogging or freezing.
The heat tracing cables are embedded to the thermal insulation jacket to provide even electrical surface heating and distribution – we can customise 
design to specific applications and produce in-house for fast delivery to UK and international locations.
Electric heat tracing is a cable based system used to maintain, raise temperature and protect process pipework and vessels against freezing temperatures and associated frost damage – heat tracing cables mitigate and counteract cold weather effects as part of a Winterization strategy for industrial and process applications against low (sub-zero) ambient temperatures on both onshore and offshore locations.
This includes ATEX heaters to provide safe portable, hazardous area certified heating and air warming for Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21 and Zone 22 hazardous areas.
Pipework heating and frost protection for fittings, junction boxes, drums, IBC’s, flanges, valves and associated mechanical process plant.
Our Heatfast jacket technology can be evolved and adapted to suit heating applications for non-standard 
variations and bespoke applications – fats, oils and foodstuffs are typically heated as well as organic and inorganic chemicals and acids in hazardous area zones and potentially explosive atmosphere locations.
Contact us to discuss the initial concept, agree a bespoke design, start manufacture and deliver on short lead times to support your Winterisation measures to prevent cold-weather damage to your critical process assets.
We have all the answers to your process heating questions.
Thorne & Derrick distribute process heating products to enable the free flow of viscous liquids or gases by IBC, drum, pipe or heated hose.
Some Features & Benefits
Fire Hydrant & Fire Extinguisher Protection – our Heatfast winterisation heating jackets can be used on fire extinguishers to provide frost protection and prevention of snow and ice build-up which could inflict “bursts” or freezing to critical safety equipment.
Engine Maintenance – our Heatfast heating jackets can be used to prevent fuel “waxing” in cold and sub-zero temperatures. Customised jacket heaters can be designed to include removable sections for engineering maintenance.
Pipe, Valve & Flange Maintenance – insulation jackets using Heatfast trace heating cables can be installed on onshore and offshore flanges, pipes and valves to provide winter protection against frost, snow, ice and environmental considerations.

DSEAR Compliant Heaters
DSEAR stands for the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002.
Dangerous substances put peoples’ safety at risk from fire, explosion and corrosion of metal. DSEAR puts duties on employers to protect people from these risks and ensure their safety in the workplace, and to members of the public who may be put at risk by work activity. THE HSE usually recommends that DSEAR is updated every 3-5 years dependent upon the risk levels of the operations.
Compliance with DSEAR encompasses many facets of business activity including:
According to the HSE fires and explosions are one of the main causes of deaths and damage in vehicle repair operations where the workspace has been designated as a potentially explosive atmosphere – this is according to UK DSEAR regulations and the European ATEX Directive.
Usually, the potential risk of explosion involves the mishandling of petrol eg when draining fuel tanks and lines, but incidents have also occurred during ‘hot work’ repairs on vehicle diesel tanks and waste oil storage tanks, during the inappropriate use of paints, thinners or waste petrol to ignite rubbish fires and the use of waste engine oil in space heaters.
Similarly, there is an explosion risk in aircraft hangars during maintenance operations in the modern passenger and cargo aircraft sectors as well as the defence industry.
Project Application | Specification & Supply of ATEX Compliant Heaters
Thorne & Derrick, The Experts in Equipment for Explosive Atmospheres, working in partnership with the MoD appointed M&E Design Consultancy have supplied ATEX Compliant Heaters to satisfy the Heating Clauses of their specification requirement to provide heaters suitable for installation in a Zone 2 hazardous area with Temperature Class 3 and IIB explosive gas atmospheres.
The project at a Royal Naval Air Station (RNAS) facility in the UK benefitted from the supply and installation of the LFH next-generation of ATEX & IECEx certified electric fan heaters for explosive atmospheres.
Manufactured by EXHEAT, a globally renowned manufacturer of electric process heating and control systems, the LFH model of Fixed Fan Heater combines superior efficiency with simple functionality to provide a ATEX Compliant heating solution for use in hazardous environments where the explosive atmosphere is classified as Zone 1/2 (IIB).
Design, Specify, Supply – DSEAR Compliant Heaters
Thorne & Derrick provided experienced design assistance to the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering contractor and design consultant for the selection of hazardous area space heaters to a new vehicle inspection and maintenance bay that was being constructed.
Thorne & Derrick were originally requested to submit a tender for Ex rated infrared heaters which had been specified at early design stage.
Thorne & Derrick Technical Sales Engineer reviewed the heating application, calculated heat losses and made a recommendation – due to the large open area the infra red heaters would have normally been selected to provide comfort heating for people working in the area. However, due to the hazardous area classification, gas group and T-class, T&D advised that the infra red heaters specified would not be compliant and pose a significant health and safety risk. From our large portfolio of ATEX certified heaters, T&D recommended the LFH heater based on its unrivalled air flow, temperature rise capability and compliance with the explosive atmosphere classification.
This was accepted by both the design consultant and M&E contractor.
T&D also offered advice to design consultant on possible use of ATEX high speed doors in the maintenance bay.
T&D advised that using high speed doors would help to reduce the overall heat loss and subsequent KW rating of any ATEX space heaters and therefore a reduction in energy consumption/costs.
EXHEAT LFH Fan Heater combines superior electrical heating efficiency with simple functionality to provide a next-generation heating solution for use in hazardous area environments where the explosive atmosphere is classified as Zone 1/2 (IIB) according to the ATEX Directive.
Certified to the new EN 80079-36 and EN 80079-37 standards for constructional safety, the EXHEAT LFH is supplied ready to ‘plug and play’, with the option of fitting a plug, or hard wiring to an isolator unit.
Incorporating a stainless steel casing for added toughness and durability, the LFH electric fan heater manufactured by EXHEAT is designed to operate in ambient temperatures of -40°C to +40°C, and uses a framework allowing for multiple mounting options on floors, walls and even ceilings in explosive atmospheres.
Depending on the heater model selected, inlet air temperatures can be increased by up to 46°C. Heaters are available up to 40kW output and provide class leading, energy efficient heating solutions for both onshore and offshore applications.
Temporary Heating Solution for Explosive Atmospheres
The EXHEAT LFH can also be manufactured and supplied as a temporary heating solution with options for anti-static castors, lifting handles, built in isolator and controls if required. This version can also be ducted front and rear to provide a versatile heating option for hazardous area locations.

Process Pipework Heating
Ever wondered how chocolate factories maintain their chocolate flowing smoothly and constantly so you can enjoy your favourite box or bar?
Chocolate must be kept fluid and at a constant temperature in pipework and vats during the entire production process.
Fluctuations in temperature during transport and processing have an immediate impact on the quality of the manufactured chocolate.
Chocolate is one of the most temperature sensitive products of all – to maintain quality and taste requires maintaining temperatures in a narrow range between 40 and 45°C.
Thorne & Derrick International supply heated hoses, trace heating and heating cables for pipelines to ensure optimum temperature maintenance is achieved and manufacturing losses are eliminated for the chocolate producer. We can design and supply electrical heat tracing systems for process temperature maintenance in commercial, industrial and hazardous area applications – call us.
