ATEX LB Drum Heater for 50-60L Drums

The ATEX LB Drum Heater is a high-performance heating jacket designed for the safe heating of 50-60 litre drums in hazardous and potentially explosive environments. Certified for use in ATEX Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22, it provides reliable frost protection, temperature maintenance and low-temperature process heating for drums containing chemicals, oils, resins and other temperature-sensitive materials.

Ideal for industrial manufacturing, chemical processing, pharmaceutical production and oil & gas applications, the ATEX LB Drum Heater helps maintain product viscosity, prevents freezing and ensures materials remain at the correct working temperature throughout storage and processing.

Constructed from durable anti-static, water-repellent PVC fabric, the heater is designed to withstand demanding industrial environments while complying with strict ATEX safety requirements. Its integrated self-limiting heating cable automatically adjusts its heat output according to the drum temperature, providing efficient, uniform heating while reducing energy consumption and minimising the risk of overheating.

For added convenience, the heater is fitted with an ATEX-certified junction box, allowing quick and straightforward replacement of the connection cable to minimise maintenance time and operational downtime. Secure fastening straps ensure a close, consistent fit around standard 50-60 litre drums, while the IP54 protection rating provides dependable resistance against dust and water ingress.

Whether used for frost protection, maintaining process temperatures or safely heating hazardous materials, the ATEX LB Drum Heater delivers dependable performance, energy efficiency and full compliance with ATEX regulations.
