In the petrochemical industry, temperature is a decisive process variable. Base oils, paraffins, waxes, bitumen, polymers and additives are stored and handled in drums and tanks, and at ambient temperatures they tend to increase in viscosity until they solidify, making pumping, dosing and transfer impossible. Bringing these products back to the correct processing temperature — uniformly, under control and safely — is the prerequisite for guaranteeing production continuity and avoiding plant downtime.
Anyone working in petrochemicals knows the critical issues involved in managing product temperature: the preheating and melting of paraffins, waxes and bitumen that have solidified in the drums and must be returned to a fluid state without localised overheating that would degrade their properties; temperature maintenance of oils and additives waiting to be fed into the production process; safety when handling products that release solvents or flammable vapours, which calls for equipment compliant with specific standards such as EN1539; process repeatability, because every batch must reach the target temperature within the expected time, 24/7, 365 days a year.
Every petrochemical plant has its own specific requirements: different production capacities, container types, process temperatures and safety constraints. That is why AMARC does not simply offer catalogue products, but engineers tailor-made solutions, from a single machine to a turnkey special project. All products have been ISO 9001 certified since 2001, are designed to operate 24/7 with a 25-year service life, and are backed by continuous support, from first contact through to after-sales.
Drum Heating Cabinets for drums and IBC containers
AMARC drum heating cabinets simultaneously heat multiple 200 L drums or 1000 L IBC containers, bringing oils, paraffins and chemical products up to process temperature with high uniformity. Available in configurations ranging from a few units to dozens of drums, with sliding doors, PLC management and special constructions on request.
Drum Heaters
For heating individual containers, AMARC drum heaters are the flexible, ready-to-use solution: ideal for melting paraffins, oils and chemical products directly in the drum, with precise temperature control.
EN1539 Ovens for Solvents and Flammable Substances
When the thermal process releases solvents or flammable vapours, safety leaves no room for compromise. AMARC ovens compliant with EN1539 ensure proper air exchange and the safe management of drying and heating processes involving petrochemical products.
Industrial Ovens
Air convection ovens with operating temperatures up to +250°C, for drying, polymerisation and stabilisation processes of products in the petrochemical sector.
Seismic-resistant heating cabinets for dozens of drums, systems with PLC control, solutions for safe melting: discover some of the projects AMARC has delivered for petrochemical companies in Italy and abroad.
