Drum Heaters

Description

Benefits

• Uniform heat distribution
• Flexibility
• Durability
• Quick and Easy Installation
• Moisture and Chemical Resistant Silicone Available
• Dielectric strength over 2000V

Applications Include

• Viscosity control
• Freeze Protection
• Temperature Maintenance
• Melting of Solids
• Heat up of container contents to a required temperature
• Thermal mixing

These Container Heaters provide a practical, efficient means of freeze protection, viscosity control and maintenance of materials at elevated temperatures.
A variety of standard sizes are combined with availability of configure-to-order designs to meet numerous applications.
We also offer container heaters specifically for use on poly containers. These container heaters have a lower watt density than others to help prevent hot spots and overheating of sensitive products or the container itself.
