Memmert IF260bw ceiling heater, 256 L, +80 °C, Class I medical device
With an internal capacity of 256 litres, the Memmert IF260bw blanket warmer offers significantly more capacity than the smaller IF110bw model and heats non-sterile towels and blankets evenly to temperatures between +20 and +80 °C. This means that even large quantities of textiles can be kept ready for immediate use without the need for repeated restocking. Spacious interior for higher throughput With internal dimensions of 640 × 800 × 500 mm, the IF260bw offers significantly more space than the smaller model without compromising on heat distribution: Four-sided heating surrounds the entire interior, whilst an electronically controlled, low-noise air circulation system set to a fixed 100 per cent ensures uniform temperatures. The adjustable temperature range extends from +20 to +80 °C, with the operating range being at least 10 °C above the respective room temperature. With external dimensions of 824 × 1183 × 684 mm and a net weight of around 110 kg, the unit is significantly larger than the IF110bw, but can still be used as a freestanding unit. SingleDISPLAY with digital timer An adaptive, multifunctional PID microprocessor controller with a TFT colour graphic display (SingleDISPLAY) handles the control, whilst a DIN Class A Pt100 sensor with 4-wire measurement ensures a setting accuracy of 0.1 °C. A digital timer ranging from 1 minute to 99 days allows heating cycles to be scheduled with precise timing, for example to ensure textiles are preheated and ready at a specific time when required, without the need for manual supervision of the process. Safety in accordance with DIN 12880 The IF260bw monitors the temperature electronically and, in addition, via a mechanical temperature limiter of protection class 1 in accordance with DIN 12880, a standard established in laboratory environments for the safety of heating cabinets. This dual safeguard reliably protects both the appliance itself and the textiles inside it from accidental overheating. Certified safety as a medical device The IF260bw is a Class I medical device and is certified accordingly to VDE, GS, CE and UL standards. This classification is lower than that of the Memmert hot-air sterilisers in the SF and SN series, which are classified as Class IIb medical devices because the latter are used directly for sterilisation. For organisations that prioritise tested, documented equipment safety, the Class I classification is an additional quality feature. Combined with electronic temperature monitoring and the mechanical temperature limiter in accordance with DIN 12880, this results in a multi-stage safety concept for routine practice operation. Flexible operation at 230 V or 115 V The IF260bw is available with a choice of a connected load of approximately 1700 W at 230 V or approximately 900 W at 115 V, allowing the unit to be operated according to the mains supply available at the point of use. The electronic control system automatically adjusts the heating output to maintain the setpoint precisely, regardless of the selected mains voltage. The right size for every requirement The IF260bw sits within Memmert’s IF-bw range of ceiling heaters between the compact IF110bw (108 litres) and the larger models, the IF450bw (449 litres) and the IF750bw (749 litres). All models share the same control technology and operating logic, meaning that switching to a larger or smaller size within the range requires no adjustment. This simplifies planning for facilities anticipating growing or fluctuating demand for pre-warmed textiles in the medium term. Typical applications With an internal capacity of 256 litres and a temperature range up to +80 °C, the IF260bw is suitable for facilities with a higher throughput of textiles requiring heating: Heating large quantities of non-sterile towels and blanketsTime-controlled dispensing of pre-warmed textiles thanks to a digital timer ranging from 1 minute to 99 daysUniform temperature distribution throughout the entire interior thanks to 4-sided all-round heatingFacilities with a regular, predictable demand for warm towels and blanketsThe next size up for facilities that have outgrown the compact IF110bwFlexible use in different locations thanks to optional operation at 230 V or 115 V As all models in the IF-bw series use the same SingleDISPLAY operating logic, staff already familiar with another blanket warmer from the series can operate the IF260bw without additional training, which significantly reduces the training required when switching between models within the series.

Memmert IF110bw blanket heater, 108 L, +80 °C, Class I medical device
The Memmert IF110bw blanket warmer heats non-sterile cloths and blankets reliably and evenly to temperatures between +20 and +80 °C. With an internal capacity of 108 litres and space for up to 5 trays, the most compact model in the IF-bw series is ideal for facilities where pre-warmed textiles need to be readily available, without any noticeable temperature fluctuations between the individual trays and without the unit taking up excessive floor space. 4-sided all-round heating for even heat distribution Instead of individual heating zones, a 4-sided all-round heating system surrounds the entire interior, whilst an electronically controlled air circulation system set to a fixed 100% further ensures an even distribution of heat. A DIN Class A-quality Pt100 sensor with 4-wire measurement measures the temperature with a setting accuracy of 0.1 °C. The operating range extends from at least 10 °C above room temperature up to a maximum of +80 °C, meaning that even moderate heat settings can be achieved cleanly and reproducibly. Uniform heat distribution is particularly noticeable in smaller internal volumes, such as the 108 litres of the IF110bw, as textiles throughout the entire interior reach the same temperature regardless of the selected shelf position. SingleDISPLAY and data logging via Ethernet An adaptive, multifunctional PID microprocessor controller with a high-resolution TFT colour graphic display (SingleDISPLAY) clearly shows the actual and setpoint temperatures and is easy to operate. Log data from the integrated data logger can be read out and managed via the Ethernet interface. A USB port is available as an option; when used in conjunction with the AtmoCONTROL software, this makes it even easier to document and archive processes, for example to verify that a specific temperature range has been reliably maintained. Safety and Operation For added safety, the IF110bw monitors the temperature electronically and also via a mechanical temperature limiter, which triggers at around 20 °C above the maximum temperature. An integrated self-diagnostic system reports faults at an early stage, ensuring that malfunctions are detected before they affect operation. The stainless-steel interior accommodates up to 5 shelves, each with a load capacity of up to 20 kg; two stainless-steel wire shelves are included as standard. With a net weight of around 76 kg and robust external dimensions of 745 × 864 × 584 mm (plus 56 mm for the door handle), the unit is designed for long-term, stationary use and can be operated reliably even with daily, repeated use. The right size for every need At 108 litres, the IF110bw is the most compact model in Memmert’s IF-bw range of ceiling heaters. If greater capacity is required, the larger models IF260bw (256 litres), IF450bw (449 litres) and IF750bw (749 litres) are also available in the same series, featuring identical control technology and comparable specifications, allowing the appropriate unit size to be flexibly adapted to the actual volume of textiles to be heated. This means that a facility with growing requirements can switch to a larger model within the same product family without having to familiarise itself with a completely different operating system. Certified safety as a medical device The IF110bw is a Class I medical device and is certified accordingly to VDE, GS, CE and UL standards. This classification is lower than that of the Memmert hot-air sterilisers in the SF and SN series, which are classified as Class IIb medical devices because the latter are used directly for sterilisation. For establishments that, in addition to simply heating textiles, also prioritise tested and documented equipment safety, the Class I classification is an additional, verifiable quality feature. Combined with electronic temperature monitoring, the mechanical temperature limiter and the integrated self-diagnostic system, this results in a multi-stage safety concept that is suitable for regular, routine use in everyday practice and institutional settings. Typical areas of application As a blanket warmer with an internal capacity of 108 litres and a temperature range up to +80 °C, the IF110bw is suitable for the following applications: Warming of non-sterile towels and blankets prior to immediate useKeeping several pre-warmed textiles ready for immediate use thanks to up to 5 shelvesUniform temperature control of larger quantities through 4-sided all-round heating and forced circulationDocumented temperature control via the integrated data logger, readable via EthernetSpace-saving addition to rooms with limited floor space thanks to its compact designAn entry-level model in the IF-bw series for facilities with moderate, predictable demand for pre-warmed textiles Technical details Internal capacity108 litres Internal dimensions (W×H×D)560 × 480 × 400 mm External dimensions (W×H×D)745 × 864 × 584 mm (+56 mm door handle) Temperature control range+20 to +80 °C Operating temperature rangeat least 10 °C above room temperature up to +80 °C Setting accuracy0.1 °C Sensors1× Pt100 DIN Class A, 4-wire measurement Heating principle4-sided all-round heating VentilationElectronically controlled air circulation, fixed at 100% ControlSingleDISPLAY, adaptive PID microprocessor controller, TFT colour graphic display SafetyElectronic temperature monitoring, mechanical temperature limiter (approx. 20 °C above maximum), self-diagnostic system InterfacesEthernet (data logger), USB optional (with AtmoCONTROL software) Shelves2× stainless steel wire mesh shelves included, max. 5 shelves, max. 20 kg per shelf Voltage/Power230 V approx. 1400 W / 115 V approx. 900 W, 50/60 Hz Net weight/Gross weightapprox. 76 kg / approx. 101 kg Contents 1× Memmert IF110bw ceiling heater (basic unit) 2× stainless steel grating Regulatory information The IF110bw is a Class I medical device, certified to VDE, GS, CE and UL standards.
