A jacket-type drum heater is a flexible heating solution designed to wrap around standard drums or barrels. It uses insulated heating elements to safely warm the contents of the drum without direct contact with the material.

• Warming up viscous liquids (e.g., adhesives, greases, oils)
• Preventing freezing of water-based liquids
• Reducing the viscosity of waxes, chemicals, and food products
• Ensuring uniform temperature in production processes

Most jacket-type drum heaters are available for:

• 200-liter (55-gallon) drums (standard)
• 100-liter and 50-liter drums (optional)
• Custom sizes may also be available on request

Yes, low-temperature models are available for plastic drums. However, it’s important to select a heater with temperature control and insulation to prevent damage to the drum.

Typical power supply:

• 110V or 230V AC (depending on model)
• Power ratings range from 300W to 1200W or more, depending on the size and application

Most drum heaters come with:

• Built-in thermostats (adjustable or preset)
• Digital temperature controllers (for precise control)
• Optional over-temperature protection for safety

• Depends on the liquid, ambient temperature, and heater wattage.
• Typically, it can take a few hours to overnight to heat viscous materials to working temperature.

Yes, if the unit has a thermostat or temperature controller. Continuous heating is often required in production or storage, but temperature monitoring is recommended.

• Outer: Polyester or nylon with flame-retardant coating
• Inner: Silicone-insulated heating element
• Insulation: Mineral wool or fiberglass for heat retention

No. Jacket-type heaters are designed for easy wrap-around installation using Velcro straps or buckles. No tools are required.

Yes, but ensure the model is made from food-safe materials and does not cause contamination. Some models are specifically designed for pharmaceutical or food applications.

With proper use and storage, these heaters can last 3 to 5 years or longer. Durability depends on frequency of use and environmental conditions.
