The SIA specially designed steam heating pads fit under the flexitank to evenly reheat the cargo before unloading. Electric heaterpads available on request. This heater pad is made to allow liquids, that have a low melting point and can solidify when subjected to low temperatures, to be discharged using either steam or hot water as a heat source.

The Heater Pad is specially designed as a disposable heater pad and consists of 2 lengths of stainless steel pipes at each end fitted with EPDM Rubber tubes which allows steam or hot water to run through them as they are placed in the entire length of the GP container. This bag is placed beneath the flexitank to allow maximum exposure to the heater pad. The inlet hose is made of high modular radiator hose, which can withstand up to 120 deg. C while the outlet hose is made of EPDM braided rubber hose. Both hoses will run along the floor of the container just inside of the bulkhead and positioned up the side of the bulkhead. This low cost disposable heater pad will allow the exporter to enable their shipments to be discharged without worrying about the return of their heater equipment especially when using ISO tanks or other heater pads.
