About Flexible Drum Heaters

These are thin metal sheath heaters hinged for ease of opening . These are further provided with a spring to hold them tight on the drum. Each heater is provided with a 3 meter long flexible cord. Although these are quite strong but these have to be handled carefully to avoid damage. These are low cost compared to Jacket type drum heaters.

Advanced Heating Technology for Industrial Drums

Utilizing nickel-chrome resistance wire as the heating element and silicone rubber-coated fiberglass for insulation, these flexible drum heaters deliver efficient and uniform heat distribution. Their robust design ensures exceptional durability and performance in demanding environments.

Effortless Installation and Reliable Temperature Control

The wrap-around flexible band and secure strap-on buckle mounting ensure the heater fits snugly and can be installed quickly on drums. Users can select a built-in adjustable thermostat or an optional digital controller for precise temperature regulation ideal for viscous fluid warming or freeze protection.

Versatile Application and Customizable Solutions

These drum heaters are widely used in the petrochemical and food industries for drum heating needs. Options available for lead length, power rating, and voltage allow customization to match specific requirements, providing users with tailored solutions for their applications.

FAQs of Flexible Drum Heaters:

Q: How is the flexible drum heater installed on a drum?

A: The flexible drum heater is designed to wrap around the drum body and is secured using the strap-on buckle system. Installation is straightforward; simply position the heater, buckle securely, and plug it in to start heating.

Q: What are the benefits of controlling the temperature with an adjustable thermostat or digital controller?

A: Both the built-in adjustable thermostat and optional digital controller provide accurate temperature management. This ensures optimal heating up to 150C (302F), protecting sensitive contents and improving operational efficiency.

Q: When should I use a flexible drum heater for industrial applications?

A: A flexible drum heater should be used whenever industrial processes require maintaining or elevating the temperature of drum-stored materials, especially viscous fluids, chemicals, or food products, to prevent freezing or facilitate transfer.

Q: Where can these heaters be used effectively?

A: These heaters are suitable for usage in diverse environments, including petrochemical plants, food processing facilities, and any industrial setting where reliable drum heating is essential. The IP65-rated silicone jacket provides moisture resistance for outdoor or harsh settings.

Q: What is the process for customizing lead length, power rating, or voltage?

A: Customization is available for lead length, power rating, and voltage. Customers should specify their requirements when ordering, allowing the manufacturer to provide tailored solutions to best fit specific operational needs.

Q: Is the heater suitable for all drum sizes?

A: While the standard heater fits 200 Ltr/55 Gallon drums (approximately 570 mm diameter), it can be used on drums with a minimum diameter of 300 mm. Custom sizes may be available upon request to suit other drum dimensions.

Q: What advantages does the silicone rubber-coated fiberglass provide?

A: The silicone rubber-coated fiberglass outer jacket offers excellent durability, flexibility, and moisture resistance. This combination protects the heating element and insulation, ensuring long service life in demanding industrial conditions.
