you're unsure about how our products might work for your application, don't hesitate to contact us!

Frost Heave Prevention Systems

Our Frost Heave Prevention Systems are perfect for the prevention of ice build up on the floor of cold stores and blast freezers. They use a heat barrier controlled by a thermostat to stop permafrost reaching the base concrete.

Loheat's modular heating systems are made up of strong, moisture resistant Polyfoam boards (25mm or 12mm thick) that are individually designed for your application by our very own CAD team who will also provide comprehensive support, every step of the way. For more information on our Frost Heave Prevention Systems, please follow the link.



Entrapment Alarm Systems

Amongst our range of coldstore safety products are entrapment alarm systems featuring a powerful red flashing alarm siren which is quickly and easily reset. These have been tested to work in temperatures as low as -40 degrees C. The alarm switch is operated by a red plastic-coated steel wire, while operating instructions are luminous for low light situations. A permanent light indicates the location of the alarm, giving employees assurance of their safety. A red reassurance light comes on when the alarm is activated. To find out exactly how these alarm systems work, simply follow the link to the relevant section of the Loheat website.

Door Frame Heater Systems

Door and threshold heating systems are one of the most common methods of providing continuous access through hinged and sliding doors for all different types of low temperature stores. Our Door Frame Heater Systems use low voltage, 304 grade stainless steel strips in 6mm, 12mm and 25mm widths. Two layers of polyester tape enclose the elements, while protection from operational damage comes in the form of 1.6mm thick aluminium or steel (galvanised or stainless) plate which is screwed to the door jamb. Threshold heaters are manufactured from heavy duty stainless steel wire that is encapsulated in PVC. These are made into a grid formation for installation under the top screed. Our low voltage transformers have full fuse protection on output and input, and come with warning light and variable tappings for different loads.

Ramp Heating Systems

Ramp heating is often needed in addition to threshold heating. Where this is required, Loheat will produce full layout drawings enabling the tailor-made elements to be fitted under the top screed. Our elements - made up of 10 gauge stainless steel wire - are connected by cold tails to a thermostat via a bus bar chamber. They are easy to install and are ideal for any hinged or sliding door that requires continuous heating. Full fitting and wiring instructions are provided.

Pressure Relief Valves

Pressure changes, whether inside or outside a low temperature coldstore, will cause forces to act on wall and roof panels. Significant pressure decrease can potentially deflect panels inwards and make doors difficult or impossible to open, while pressure increases can deflect panels outwards, forcing doors open. Quickly and easily installed, Loheat's pressure relief valves utilise unique semi-circular spring loaded flaps to allow rapid air movement and equalise pressure. These are suitable for panels that are between 65mm and 150mm thick, though they are easily adapted for thicker panels.

Dairy Water Heaters

Our ALUZINC cased water heaters are both tough and highly resistant to corrosion, giving them a long industrial life. Available in a variety of sizes from 110 litres to 680 litres, all models comprise of a large external header tank with brass ball valve, an inlet service valve, power light, insulated lid, and heavy duty Incalloy heating elements. They can have either 1 or 2 x 28mm water outlets, depending on the size. Starter models feature a manually operated ball valve below the header tank which stops cold water entering the vessel when drawing off hot water. The temperature is controlled using a rod thermostat, while an analogue thermometer reads it. Loheat offers a range of factory fitted options, allowing you to choose the most appropriate product for your application.

Fill & Heating Options

Loheat offers several fill and heating controllers for dairy and farm applications. Our range includes; the VAC Pac & 24 Hour Timeclock Pac, including an external vacuum operated pinch valve for stopping cold water entry when drawing hot water, a digital thermostat and sensor probe to set and display temperature, and a 24 hour timeclock for heat cycle control; the DX Pac, fitted with 0.5hp hot water pump that delivers 20 litres per minute at 20 PSI, as well as a 24 or 48 hr clock for controlling heating cycles; the Time Delay Relay Pac, for eliminating the ingress of cold water during tank cleaning cycle; and the Full Remote Pac, a remote wall-mounted control box.

Udderwash Heaters

Loheat's udderwash heaters come in 25 or 50 litre capacity options and are suitable for udder washing in large parlours and in areas where smaller quantities of constant hot water are required on a regular basis. Our heaters are open vented systems with an integral cold water supply, eradicating the need for a cold loft tank. Powered directly from a mains supply, stainless steel Incalloy heating elements maintain a suitable water temperature for udder washing. A rod thermostat makes temperature fully controllable. 25 litre tanks measure 725mm x 470mm x 210mm. 50 litre tanks measure 770mm x 600mm x 320mm. If you would like any further information on any of our products, please don't hesitate to give us a call!

Volume Washdown Systems

We provide tough and robust washdown systems designed for use in yards and parlours. These high volume systems feature a powerful 2.2HP motor, a brass impeller for long life and they are capable of pumping 26 gallons/ 120 litres per minute. They are easy to install and a full range of spares are available in stock. They are also available with a 24 litre pressure vessel or Presscontrol automatic cut out to prevent dry running of the motor.


We also provide Superjet Self Priming Pumps. These versatile units are suitable for domestic, commercial and industrial plants where applications require a high volume of water.



Water Heater Stands

Our heavy duty stands are designed and recommended for the mounting of Loheat water heaters. They are strong and robust with tough galvanised stands for safe elevation of the water heater to the required height. The stands evenly distributes the weight of the water heater for effective, long term use. They feature 16 gauge steel tray to support the base of the water heater, 14 gauge steel legs for strength, folded back foot pattern for high load bearing, leg clamping flanges for rigidity, handy storage tray and three available heights to suit each size heater. All stands are supplied in kit form for easy on-site assembly.

Teat Spray Systems

We provide two main teat spray systems:


Air Operated High Performance Teat Spray System: this easy to install system features a multi gun and an air pump for effective teat spraying. We hold a full range of spares in stock if needed.


Low Voltage Electric Teat Spray System: this system is designed to suit 3 and 6 guns from our stock. It is easy to install with push fit fittings. The kit features an electric pump in splash proof box, transformer, suction and delivery hose, extendable coils and spray gun, hose connectors, and clips. Different size kits are available.



Pipe Heating Kits

Any dairy farmer will know that the timely task of defrosting pipes on an icy cold morning before work can begin is a nuisance. That is why our pipe heating kits are useful. Our systems feature heating wires designed to fit into existing pipes and joints to protect water systems. They are easy to install and provide safe and reliable results. They feature low power consumption (only 10 watts per metre run) and are available in four standard kits (15m, 25m, 35m and 50m pipe protection).


We are also able to tailor kits to meet longer pipe runs or larger bore pipes. Please contact us with your requirements.
