Drum Heater – Digital Drum Heating Jacket 0–90°C for 200L Drums

This drum heater minimises heat loss, offers robust build quality, precise temperature control and is fitted with secure fastening straps for transport. Ideal for demanding industrial applications, it integrates with the Flux drum pump range for efficient fluid handling.

• Teflon‑coated polyester shell resists wear, chemicals and daily handling.
• Silicone heating wire delivers uniform heat across the drum surface.
• Polyester insulation reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency.
• Digital controller (0–90°C) ensures accurate, consistent heating.
• Quick‑release buckles for rapid fitment to any 200–220 L drum.
• 3 m power cable for flexible positioning in workshops or production areas.
• IP40 protection with optional IP54 upgrade for harsher environments.
• Stable warm‑up performance for water‑based and viscous materials.
• Lightweight construction facilitates handling and mobile use on-site.
• Compatible with base heaters and insulated lids for faster heat‑up times (sold separately).
• Secure fastening straps optimise the drum heater, ensuring long-lasting performance.
• Minimal heat loss for improved efficiency during use and transit.

This drum heater supports a wide range of industrial processes. It improves liquid flow, reduces viscosity and also maintains stable temperatures during pumping, mixing or dispensing tasks.

Suitable for heating:

• Oils, diesel and lubricants
• Water based cleaning solutions
• Resins, adhesives and glues
• Waxes, fats, butters and ghee
• Vaseline, lanolin and similar materials
• Temperature‑sensitive industrial liquids

Furthermore, it pairs effectively with Flux drum pumps to maintain consistent flow during transfer, dispensing and emptying operations.

What is a drum heater used for?

A drum heater warms the contents of a drum to reduce the media viscosity and maintain stable temperatures. In turn, this improves and stabilises flow rates during pumping, prevents freezing and condensation and additionally, improves process consistency.

Can I use a drum heating jacket with any 200 L drum?

Yes. The adjustable straps allow a secure fit on standard 200–220 L steel or polyethylene drums.

How long does it take to heat a full drum?

Heating time depends on heater power and liquid type, as some liquids conduct heat more rapidly than others. As a guide, the 1200 W model heats 200 L of water from 18°C to 80°C in around 24 hours.

Using the 530 W half-size drum heater, it takes roughly 24 hours to warm 200 litres of water from 20°C to 40°C.

Drum heating jackets are an effective way to maintain drum temperatures, especially when used with heating cabinets. They facilitate improved pumping and pouring rates, helping to improve transfer speed while minimising heat loss, thereby ensuring materials stay at the required temperature during handling.

In addition, these jackets can be combined with heating cabinets for flexible heating solutions, helping to preserve product quality throughout the process.

This drum heater features digital controls, great build quality and efficient heat transfer, supporting reliable processing operations while reducing downtime.

It integrates perfectly with Flux drum pump systems and is available with two power outputs to suit different liquids.
