LMK THERMOSAFE LTD

Industries relying on gas often face challenges with gas bottle frosting, particularly in colder climates. When temperatures drop below a gas bottle's dew point, moisture in the air freezes on its surface, causing reduced gas flow, operational issues, and safety concerns. Outdoor or unheated storage worsens this, trapping up to 20% of gas in cylinders returned to suppliers. LMK Thermosafe Gas Bottle Heating Jackets tackle this problem effectively. These jackets use advanced heating tech to maintain optimal temperatures, preventing frosting and ensuring steady gas flow. They enhance operational efficiency, minimise gas wastage, and benefit sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, and hospitality. LMK offers custom options to fit diverse bottle configurations and sizes, tailored for specific industry needs. Their EX certified jackets meet safety standards for hazardous environments. In summary, gas bottle frosting affects flow rates and efficiency, but LMK's Heating Jackets solve this.

New product development in any industry always brings new technical challenges and hurdles. The introduction of Alpen Cereal Bars was no different for leading British breakfast cereal manufacturer, Weetabix Limited. One problem was large containers of glucose-based solutions needed to be heated and kept at optimum temperature before blending with other ingredients as part of the manufacturing process. Weetabix found a perfect solution with LMK’s dual circuit IBC2 Flexible Heating Jacket. Able to quickly raise temperatures of large volumes of liquids and efficiently retain heat, each jacket utilizes tough, water-resistant nylon for the outer layer, and custom coated heat and chemical resistant materials for the inner layers, with high efficiency insulation inside to reduce heat-loss to a minimum.

The marine and aeronautical industries use fibre reinforced resins, laminates and gelcoats in many applications where durability, finish and quality go hand in hand. Our flexible heating jackets have been utilised for surface curing during product assembly and where any post-production work results in the need for re-finishing. Applications vary from insurance quality repairs to luxury yachts, through surface curing of wind turbine blades during manufacture and re- finishing of blade tips during maintenance. Composite structures assembled in the construction of commercial and military aircraft often require surface heating. The high density insulation used throughout our products ensures a very evenly distributed heat is delivered, and the flexibility of the jacket permits uneven surface to be thoroughly cured. Sensors can be embedded where necessary for logging. We manufacture custom sizes and shapes, so would be pleased to work out a solution and pricing without obligation.

Systems have been supplied for several Yogogawa TDLS8000 with HMI displays at the Shell Scotford site in Ft. Saskatchewan, operating over winter to maintain 20°C ±2°C with -40°C ambient and 40mph wind speeds. Shell’s Project Manager stated “The Inteliheat product performed so well that I had no hesitation in purchasing additional units for upcoming winter programs”. Larger custom solutions have been provided to other petrochemical plants in Canada for protection of pipeline pumps and motors.
