Drum Heater for 10-12L Drum

The Drum Heater for 10-12 Litre Drums is a compact and efficient heating jacket designed to maintain the temperature and viscosity of liquids stored in small drums and containers. Ideal for preventing contents from thickening or freezing during storage, processing, or transportation, this versatile heater provides safe, reliable, and energy-efficient heating for a wide range of industrial applications.

Manufactured from durable Teflon-coated polyester with polyester insulation and a silicone heating wire, the heater delivers uniform heat distribution while minimising heat loss. Its lightweight construction and adjustable quick-release buckles allow the jacket to be fitted quickly and securely to standard 10-12 litre drums, making it ideal for both static use and transporting temperature-sensitive products.

Two temperature-controlled versions are available to suit different applications:

• 26-4959 – Adjustable thermostat with a 0-40°C temperature range
  
• 26-4959A – Adjustable digital thermostat with a 0-90°C temperature range

These options allow you to select the most suitable heater for maintaining product temperature, reducing viscosity, or protecting materials from cold conditions.

The drum heating jacket can be used as a standalone heating solution or alongside drum heating cabinets, heating ovens, or base drum heaters where additional heating performance is required.

Supplied as standard with IP40 protection, the heater is also available with an optional IP54 rating for environments exposed to moisture or regular wash-down procedures, such as food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and hygienic production areas.
