Silicone Drum Heater

Silicone drum heater with an adjustable thermostat, made to wrap around a drum and warm its contents for freeze protection, melting solidified product, or holding a steady working temperature. The flexible silicone pad transfers heat efficiently and resists moisture and chemicals, which matters on production floors where spills happen. It suits food production, chemical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics operations handling fats, oils, soaps, waxes, and viscous products that thicken in the cold.

Choose the size that matches your container, from a 6.6 gallon (25 L) pail-sized drum up to a 55-gallon (200 L) drum, and pick 110 V or 230 V. The heater ships without a plug so it can be wired for your application.

Specifications

Common Applications

Keeping cooking fats, shortening, honey, and syrups pourable; melting soap bases and waxes; preventing water-based chemicals from freezing in unheated warehouses; and holding resins and adhesives at application temperature.

Safe Use

Have a qualified electrician fit a plug or hard-wire the heater for your voltage. Disconnect power when the drum is empty, while filling, and when fitting or removing the heater. Let the jacket cool fully before folding it for storage.

How It Compares

For steel drums that need more insulation, the metal drum heater jacket wraps the full drum body. To heat from below, see the drum base heater. Browse drum accessories.
