Compact heater for avoiding condensation on beverage containers
Prevent condensation on cold-filled beverage containers, ensuring seamless labeling and wrapping processes in high-speed production lines.

The Innopas WICG Compact Heater from KHS Group is an engineered solution for preventing condensation on containers in high-speed production environments. Designed for beverage, food, and non-food sectors, it efficiently heats—via a tunnel design—cold-filled products like iced tea bottles, carbonated drink cans, and non-dairy milk containers. It ensures seamless labeling and wrapping preparations by maintaining containers at temperatures above ambient levels to eliminate moisture issues. With a capacity of up to 150,000 containers per hour, it integrates multiple automation levels to match your operation needs. Constructed from stainless steel for durability and hygiene, it offers flexible integration with various heat sources, reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable operations. The compact design simplifies installation and access, while the efficient spray system with full-cone clamping nozzles ensures thorough heating. Suitable for continuous, high-speed, automated processes, this heater can be customized to fit specific production requirements.
