Drum Heater for 105-120L Drum

The Drum Heater for 105-120 Litre Drums is designed to maintain the temperature and viscosity of liquids stored in medium to large metal drums, helping to prevent contents from thickening, solidifying, or freezing during storage, processing, and transportation. Ideal for a wide range of industrial applications, this high-performance heating jacket provides safe, efficient, and even heating with precise temperature control up to 90°C.

Fitted with an easy-to-use digital thermostat adjustable from 0°C to 90°C, the heater allows accurate temperature regulation for a variety of industrial liquids. Whether reducing viscosity for easier pumping and dispensing, preventing crystallisation, or maintaining a consistent process temperature, this drum heater delivers dependable performance throughout the year.

Constructed from durable Teflon-coated polyester with polyester insulation and a silicone heating wire, the heater offers excellent thermal efficiency while minimising heat loss. Its lightweight yet robust design is complemented by adjustable quick-release buckles, allowing fast and secure fitting to standard 105-120 litre drums for both stationary use and transporting temperature-sensitive products.

The drum heating jacket can be used as a standalone heating solution or in conjunction with drum heating cabinets, heating ovens, or base drum heaters to improve heating performance and reduce heat loss when transporting heated drums between work areas.

Supplied as standard with IP40 protection, the heater is also available with an optional IP54 rating for environments where moisture, water spray, or routine wash-down procedures are common, including food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and hygienic production facilities.
