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 Sugar Refining Process
IBC Heaters for Heating Sugar During The Refining Process
The production of sugar, either from cane or beets, is a well-defined and energy-intensive industrial process involving extraction, purification, evaporation, and crystallisation. The juices are extracted at ambient temperature, but then must be heated from the purification stages right up to evaporation stage.
