One thought on “Freeze Protection For IBC Tote Tank

  1. Like the look of the powerblanket, looks pretty tight, was wondering is it adaptable for equipment to be put on the tote? and it either wraps around the equipment or able to put holes in it to mount the equipment to the cage underneath the blanket. ( is it feasible to put holes in blanket)?

    what would be the cost on 275 and 330 tote powerblanket?
