Do you know the real cost of Band Heaters?
8 April 2022• In under 6 months the total operating cost of an HHND jacket is less than a typical high power band heater
• HHND Heating jackets use almost half the energy for similar performance
• Operators are safe to touch an HHND, but could be burnt by a band heater
HHND – The Band Heater Alternative
We are pleased to announce our new “HHND” Flexible Heating Jacket for applications requiring high-performance, low-cost solutions. The jacket is for general industrial use where price is a critical part of the decision.
Designed for standard 200 litre drums, this heating jacket delivers 750 watts of power. Excellent performance in the heating of liquids and melting of some solids has been shown at a price point normally associated with energy hungry silicone band heaters. Due to the high-grade, high-density insulation incorporated as standard, the outer jacket surfaces can be touched safely without protective equipment.
A single HHND heating jacket may be used for heating liquids and melting some solids. Two or three heating jackets combined, will increase the heating rate and allow the most difficult solids to be melted.
This product is specifically marketed for distribution via our worldwide sales partners holding local inventory, and will only be sold in batch quantities of 10 or more. Each jacket will be wrapped for individual resale, with its own operating instructions.
DOES A “LOW COST” BAND HEATER DELIVER BETTER VALUE FOR MONEY THAN AN INSULATED HEATING JACKET?
Our HHND band heater replacement has been rigorously tested and compared with typical silicone band heaters to scientifically analyse performance, energy usage and operating costs.
In a standard test environment, a full 200L drum of water was heated from 20C to 50C using two of each heater type, logging power consumption and content temperatures.
The results clearly showed that although a band heater is marginally quicker to heat the entire contents to 50C, the total energy required is almost double our HHND insulated jacket.
