The Faratherm Induction Base Heater consists of an induction coil, encapsulated in glass reinforced resin with a heating plate located on top. Powered by a single phase as mains supply, it will heat the base of drums and containers placed onto it.

The Faratherm is safe to use in hazardous areas (zones 1 and 2). It is fully certified to meet both ATEX and IECEx requirements. With an ingress protection rating of IP66 and no moving parts, it is suitable for use in harsh environments or where regular cleaning is required.

The plate is heated by induction and therefore there are no heating elements. The maximum temperature is self limiting- this is governed by the material being heated and the heating arrangement. In most applications additional temperature regulation is not required, however control options are available, please ask for more information.
