The ATEX Insulating Lid: Thermal Optimization and Safety for Your Kegs

In demanding industrial environments, keg heating is essential, but energy efficiency is just as important as safety. The ATEX Insulating Lid is the must-have accessory designed to be used in conjunction with our ATEX drum heaters. Its role is to transform a high-performance heating solution into an optimal thermal management system. By adding this superior insulation, operators can reduce heat loss to an absolute minimum, which helps to speed up the heating of the contents. In addition, the temperature of the fluid inside the drum can be maintained for longer in a stable manner, a crucial advantage for temperature maintenance, frost protection or long heating processes.

ATEX Compliance and Rugged Design for Industry

Safety is guaranteed, as this insulating cover is fully approved with a CE type-examination certificate in accordance with Annex III of the European Directive RL 2014/34/EU. This certification ensures that the cover can be used with confidence in environments where the ATEX drum heater operates, ensuring consistency in the safety of the complete installation. Made with robust, dissipative materials like PTFE-coated fiberglass and needle-punched fiberglass insulation (Glasnadel), it is designed to withstand industrial stresses. Its IP65 protection rating makes it completely dustproof and protected against water jets, allowing it to be installed both indoors and outdoors. The lid is black in color and its flexible design allows it to fit the top shape of the barrel.

Adaptability and Dimensions for the ATEX Drum Range

The ATEX insulating cover is available in several variants to perfectly fit our entire range of standard steel or plastic drum heaters and drums. This compatibility is essential to ensure total coverage and maximum insulation.

The dimensions are specific to each barrel volume, guaranteeing a seamless integration:

• 30 Litre Drum: Diameter 330 mm.

• 60 litre drum: diameter 400 mm.

• 120 litre drum: diameter 500 mm.

• 200/220 Litre Drum: Diameter 630 mm (Length 630 mm, Depth 20 mm, Height 150 mm).

The weight remains low (between 2 kg and 3 kg depending on the size) for easy handling by operators. The design of the lid is standardised for a 200-litre drum with a diameter of 630 mm, serving as the basis for the range.

Business Benefits and Examples of Use

Investing in this insulating cover offers a quick return, as it optimizes the performance of the main drum heater. By minimizing heat loss from above, the operating time of the drum heater is reduced, which translates into significant electricity savings.

• For Temperature Maintenance: In the case of a viscous substance (honey, grease), the superior insulation ensures that the pumping temperature is maintained without constant effort of the heater, reducing consumption.

• For Rapid Heating: In the start-up phase, the use of the lid accelerates the reach of the target temperature, allowing the production processes to be started more quickly.

• For frost protection: Even in an unheated warehouse or outdoors, insulation in combination with a drum heater guarantees frost protection for sensitive products.

The ATEX Insulating Lid is therefore the final touch for total and economical thermal control of your drums in hazardous areas.
