Drum Heater for 25-30L Drum

The Drum Heater for 25-30 Litre Drums is designed to maintain the temperature and viscosity of liquids stored in smaller metal drums, helping to prevent contents from thickening or freezing during storage, processing, or transportation. Suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, this versatile heating jacket provides safe, efficient, and uniform 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 enables users to maintain the ideal temperature for a variety of industrial liquids. Whether reducing viscosity for easier dispensing or protecting products from low temperatures, this drum heater offers dependable performance throughout the year.

Manufactured from durable Teflon-coated polyester with polyester insulation and a silicone heating wire, the lightweight yet robust construction provides excellent thermal efficiency while minimising heat loss. Adjustable quick-release buckles allow the heater to be fitted and removed quickly from standard 25-30 litre drums, making it ideal for both fixed installations and transporting heated products.

Drum heating jackets are an excellent standalone heating solution and can also be used alongside drum heating cabinets, heating ovens, or base drum heaters to improve heating efficiency while reducing heat loss during transport.

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