Drum Heaters from Heaters Controls And Sensors

Drum Heaters are a used to control temperatures on a variety of pails or drums where maintaining viscosity and keeping the contents fluid are important.

Drum Heaters provide uniform heat and prevent scorching or degradation of sensitive materials.

Drum Heaters also provide freeze protection and are available with fixed or adjustable thermostats for various applications. Common voltages and sizes are available from stock but custom designs can be manufactured to suit your application.

Drum Heaters Features:

• Rugged construction fungus, moisture, radiation resistant
• Ultra safe heater electrically grounded with internal metal screen
• Fixed or adjustable thermostat or temperature sensors
• Sealed power cord 3 wire with 3 prong plug
• Flexible heater could be wrapped around any surface
• Easy and quick installation with spring loaded fasteners
• High temperature capabilities with various sizes
