Stainless steel construction available with mobile base for flexible shop routing

Heating jackets for IBC containers and process vessels

Will & Hahnenstein insulated heating jackets comprise four detachable side panels and an insulated top lid tailored for 1000-liter IBC containers. The heating package delivers 4 kW heating capacity with precise regulation across 0° to 80°C to prevent crystallization of process liquids.

Uniform surface heat flux across vessel walls avoiding localized thermal hotspots
One-piece protective heating jackets designed for handling by standard forklifts
Specialized heated blankets configured for industrial technical gas cylinders
Selection of heating resistance wire elements, silicone mats, and control probes

Industrial immersion heaters series 21.210 and 21.211

Will & Hahnenstein industrial immersion heaters utilize flat oval tubular elements for direct heating of aqueous liquids. Series 21.210 operates in non-adjustable mode, while series 21.211 features a junction box with built-in thermostat spanning 30° to 110°C at 400V.

Flat-oval heating tube geometry providing enlarged heat dissipation surface area
Output ratings from 2000W to 6000W with spiral and cylindrical element arrangements
Two-meter connection cable and sturdy support handle for fast tank deployment
Selection of replacement tubular elements, temperature switches, and mounting flanges

Drying, paternoster, and tempering industrial ovens

Will & Hahnenstein thermal processing systems are engineered for polymer curing, drying, and stress-relieving of cylindrical parts and composite structures. Continuous chain conveyor ovens and vertical paternoster designs with cross-ventilation optimize floor footprint in manufacturing plants.

Paternoster shelf circulation combined with horizontal cross-ventilation airflow
Automated continuous conveyor drives for loading and unloading elongated products
Multi-zone temperature regulation with historical process thermal profile tracking
Selection of heavy conveyor chains, hot-gas circulation impellers, and door gaskets

High-temperature heating systems and gas ovens up to 900 °C

For thermal applications operating above 400 °C, Will & Hahnenstein manufactures high-temperature electric and gas-fired ovens. Integrating quartz infrared emitters ensures fast and controlled heating up to 900 °C for demanding industrial degassing and sintering cycles.

Quartz infrared heating emitters engineered for focused high-density heat transfer
Direct and indirect gas burner packages equipped with automated ignition controllers
Furnace chamber insulation featuring high-grade refractory ceramic fiber modules
Selection of replacement infrared quartz lamps, burner components, and thermocouples

Selecting warming cabinets by batch volume and thermal medium

When configuring heating areas for industrial liquids, the capacity of Will & Hahnenstein warming ovens is determined by daily container throughput and footprint limitations.

For localized workshops, single or twin drum cabinets with dedicated electric heating deliver optimal flexibility, whereas high-volume chemical warehouses utilize multi-tier chambers accommodating up to 72 IBC pallet positions.

Selecting the heating medium depends on facility utilities: connecting to plant steam headers lowers operating costs, thermal oil loops provide high temperature uniformity without elevated pressures, and electric resistance bundles offer independent zone automation and clean operation.

Operational guidelines for (P) IDR and BDR drum heating assemblies

Electric drum heaters in the (P) IDR series feature double-walled insulated hinged halves that wrap securely around standard 200-liter containers.

For media with high melting points, the side heater is paired with a BDR bottom heating plate and an insulated TDR lid, creating an enclosed heating zone with minimal parasitic losses through the drum base or rim.

The integrated operating thermostat is set to match required process viscosity, while an independent safety temperature switch prevents surface overheating during continuous liquid agitation performed by immersion pumps or mechanical stirrers.

Temperature control for IBC containers and bulk storage vessels

Four-piece detachable heating jackets from Will & Hahnenstein are engineered for rapid installation onto standard 1000-liter IBC containers without dismantling protective cage frames.

The 4 kW heating capacity delivers smooth, uniform warming for viscous adhesives, resins, and polymers within a 0° to 80°C operating window. Balanced surface heat dissipation prevents thermal breakdown of temperature-sensitive chemical formulations.

When containers are regularly transported by lift trucks, one-piece reinforced protective jackets equipped with designated fork channels and valve cutouts are selected.

Sizing and mounting industrial immersion heaters 21.210 and 21.211

Industrial immersion heaters by Will & Hahnenstein are installed directly into process tanks, plating baths, and buffer vessels for direct thermal exchange with liquid media.

Flat-oval heating element geometries enlarge effective surface area within compact dimensions, reducing surface watt density and extending component service life.

Models in series 21.210 with ratings from 2 kW to 6 kW connect to external control panels, whereas series 21.211 units incorporate a terminal enclosure with mechanical thermostat regulation between 30° and 110°C on standard 400V three-phase supply lines.

Thermal uniformity in continuous and vertical paternoster ovens

For heat treatment of composite parts and elongated shafts in limited floor layouts, vertical paternoster ovens from Will & Hahnenstein provide high throughput efficiency.

The vertical shelf circulation mechanism moves product carriers through horizontal cross-ventilation airflows, eliminating temperature gradients across chamber levels. In continuous horizontal conveyor installations, variable-speed chain drives synchronize with preceding production stations.

Insulated airflow curtains and multi-point thermocouples maintain thermal profile stability throughout production batches.

Operational reliability of high-temperature units and infrared emitters

For industrial thermal processing requiring temperatures from 400°C up to 900°C, quartz infrared emitters and gas-fired heating packages from Will & Hahnenstein provide efficient heat delivery.

Directed infrared radiation transfers thermal energy into workpiece surfaces without requiring lengthy preheating of entire furnace structures, cutting energy consumption during degassing and sintering.

Gas-fired units feature automated burner management, dual safety shutoff valves, and flame monitoring. Refractory ceramic fiber linings withstand repeated thermal cycling without flaking.
