How does the IBC Heater Work?

Simply place the IBC base heater beneath your IBC. The high-conductivity plate transfers heat directly to the container's base, efficiently warming contents from the bottom up. This method is particularly effective for viscous or dense materials that settle or solidify near the base.

For base results, pair with an IBC insulated jacket or top heater to minimise heat loss.
