Drum heaters and container heaters
Definition and general information
Drum heaters and container heaters are designed to heat or maintain the temperature of 25 to 200-liter cylindrical drums and 1000-liter IBC containers, containing liquids, viscous products or powders.
They are widely used in various sectors (agri-food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, etc.), notably for frost protection, to maintain a constant temperature during storage or transport, or to reduce the viscosity of a fluid to facilitate pumping or transfer.
These devices take the form of flexible heating blankets designed to wrap plastic or metal drums and containers. Heat is transmitted to the product by conduction through the walls of the container.
They consist of a thermally-insulated tank containing evenly-distributed resistors, one or two adjustable-temperature control thermostats (depending on the model), a quick-release, adjustable fastening system and a power cable.
Drum heaters and container heaters are made from durable, flame-retardant materials and can operate at constant temperatures of up to 90°C.
- Unit power from 200 W to 2000 W.
- Single-phase voltage (230 V)
- Watertightness: IP40
- 4 m power cable
Technical data
Drum heaters and container heaters consist of :
- A flexible polyester heating blanket containing evenly distributed electrical resistors. IP40 protection.
- Temperature control thermostat. 2 setting ranges: 0 to 40°C or 0 to 90°C. The thermostat is coupled to the power supply for direct control.
- An adjustable clamping device for quick mounting of the tarpaulin on the drum or container.
- 4 m power cable
