Abstract
A box heater system to be mounted in a box in which material is receivable for discharge therefrom. The box heater system includes a heat-generating assembly having a body including one or more channels formed therein, and one or more heating elements at least partially positioned in the channel(s), for generating heat and transferring the heat to at least part of the body. The body is movable relative to the heating element, and the heating element is movable relative to the body. The heat transferred to the body is at least partially transferable to the material received in the box.
Claims18
A box heater system to be mounted in a box in which material is receivable for discharge therefrom, the box heater system comprising:
- a heat-generating assembly comprising:
- a body at least partially defined by substantially planar opposed first and second surfaces, the body comprising at least one channel formed in the second surface;
- the body being securable to the box;
- at least one heating element at least partially positioned in said at least one channel, for generating heat and transferring the heat to at least part of the body;
- the body being movable relative to said at least one heating element;
- said at least one heating element being movable relative to the body;
- and
- the heat transferred to the body being at least partially transferable to the material received in the box.
A heat-generating assembly to be mounted in a box in which material is receivable for discharge therefrom, the heat-generating assembly comprising:
- a body at least partially defined by substantially planar opposed first and second surfaces, the body comprising at least one channel formed in the second surface;
- the body being securable to the box;
- at least one heating element at least partially positioned in said at least one channel, for generating heat and transferring the heat to at least part of the body;
- the body being movable relative to said at least one heating element;
- said at least one heating element being movable relative to the body;
- and
- the heat transferred to the body being at least partially transferable to the material received in the box.
A box in which material is receivable for discharge therefrom, the box comprising:
- at least one wall at least partially defining a cavity in the box in which the material is receivable;
- a box heater system comprising a heat-generating assembly, the heat-generating assembly comprising:
- a body at least partially defined by substantially planar opposed first and second surfaces, the body comprising at least one channel formed in the second surface;
- the body being securable to said at least one wall;
- at least one heating element at least partially positioned in said at least one channel, for generating heat and transferring the heat to at least part of the body;
- the body being movable relative to said at least one heating element;
- said at least one heating element being movable relative to the body;
- and
- the heat transferred to the body being at least partially transferable to the material received in the box.
