Insect Heat Treatment Equipment

For years, the fumigant methyl bromide has been the chemical of choice for controlling insect infestations in bins, silos, and hard-to-access storage and processing areas. Unlike methyl bromide treatment, spot insect heat treatment with Armstrong steam heaters is a cost-effective method of controlling insect outbreaks without having to shut down the entire plant.

Portable and permanent heaters use plant steam to provide quick, on-demand heat treatments even during production hours. Typically, heat treatment costs are less, per application, than chemical treatment. What’s more, less downtime means greater production and, ultimately, more profit.
