Keeping your factory at a comfortable temperature can be a significant challenge.

Maintaining a safe and comfortable temperature throughout your factory is essential – but it’s easier said than done. Factory heating poses a range of challenges, including:
Factories are often sizable spaces that are difficult to heat, as warm air rises to the ceiling and leads to cold spots forming at ground level.
Different areas within a factory may have varying temperature requirements, which an older or more basic heating system may not be able to accommodate.
Factory processes can generate harmful particles that increase the need for air circulation, while potentially damaging your heating system.
Your staff will often be engaging in strenuous physical work, which can make inconsistent temperatures more difficult to manage.
Your factory space needs to meet regulatory requirements when it comes to maintaining a safe working temperature – or else risk legal repercussions.
Given the range of challenges your factory heating system will need to tackle, it’s imperative that you find a solution that’s up to the task. And the best choice is to work with factory heating experts to find a bespoke solution that’s fully tailored to your needs.
By working with OKEL, you’ll benefit from a fully customised solution to your factory heating needs. With a bespoke factory heating system designed and installed by our expert team, you’ll benefit from:
A bespoke factory healing system is a significant investment in the future of your business, with the potential to cut costs, increase productivity and benefit your bottom line for years to come. Work with OKEL to enjoy these significant benefits for the long term.
A warm air heating system is a modern, highly efficient approach to heating large spaces. These highly customisable and modular systems can be fully tailored to your factory, with strategically placed heaters positioned at key points throughout your space. These heaters draw air from outside the building and run it over a heat exchanger before distributing it throughout the factory space using integral circulation fans within the heaters.
And with flexible wall – or ceiling-mount options, you won’t have to worry about any obstruction of the work on your factory floor.
Warm air heating systems can also be combined with destratification fans for even greater efficiency, as these fans recover warm air that rises upwards and gathers below the ceiling and returns the warm air to the lower ground where it is of most benefit to staff and manufacturing processes. This combination ensures a more uniform temperature distribution and can lead to significant energy savings.
In addition to the heating functionality, OKEL’s warm air heaters have a Summer Ventilation Mode that delivers continuous air circulation throughout the factory and can make a real difference to the comfort of the staff on the warmest of days.
Radiant heating systems are the ideal solution for spot heating in large open-plan spaces. If your factory has specific areas that need to be kept warm – such as workstations or loading bays – then radiant heating can be an efficient and affordable solution. It also provides a long period of retained heat, so that it can be turned off well before the end of the working day to further reduce energy consumption.
Radiant heating systems do not rely on air circulation to distribute heat, making them a good choice for dusty environments. They also operate silently, contributing to a quieter and more pleasant workspace. With a variety of mounting options available, radiant heaters can be easily installed in high-ceilinged spaces or areas where floor space is limited, providing flexibility and convenience.
