Drum Heater UK – ATEX Heating Jacket for 200 L Drums

£2,830.98

Safe Heating Performance with a Drum Heater UK

This ATEX approved drum heater provides safe, efficient heating for 200–220 L drums in hazardous industrial environments. It is certified for ATEX zones 1/2 (gas) and 21/22 (dust), ensuring dependable performance where ignition risks must be controlled.

Moreover, this ATEX heating jacket uses a self‑limiting heating cable, allowing it to operate without an expensive controller. As a result, it provides simple, cost-effective and energy‑efficient low temperature heating for frost protection and liquid temperature control.

Constructed with anti‑static, water‑repellent PVC and also equipped with a 5 m ATEX‑certified cable, this heater is engineered for demanding industrial use. Furthemore, it fits standard 205 L drums and can be combined with an optional insulated lid for improved heat retention.

  • Designed for explosive gas and dust atmospheres
  • Suitable for 200 litre steel drums and conductive polyethylene drums
  • Ideal for frost protection and liquid temperature stabilisation
  • Operates without a controller
  • Optional insulated lid also recommended
Lead times may vary, subject to prior orders. If next day delivery is required, please contact us to discuss availability before placing your order.

This ATEX heating jacket delivers consistent, safe heating in wide range of ATEX‑rated, hazardous industrial areas.

  • ATEX‑certified for zones 1, 2, 21 and additionally 22.
  • Self‑limiting heating cable consequently prevents overheating.
  • Automatically uses less energy as temperature increases, therefore supporting safe and stable heating performance.
  • Furthermore, no controller required.
  • Durable, water-resistant anti‑static PVC outer layer.
  • IP 54 protection – suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
  • ATEX junction box for fast cable replacement.
  • Lightweight, flexible design therefore ensures easy installation.
  • Also works with Flux ATEX drum pumps for smooth transfer of heated materials (in zone 0, 1, 2 areas only)

This drum heater UK supports temperature‑critical liquid dispensing in hazardous areas where explosive air-gas, or air-dust mixtures may be present and safe heating is essential.

Ideal for:

  • Frost protection of stored chemicals
  • Stabilising temperatures for oils and additives
  • Supporting chemical and also solvent processing
  • Maintaining flow in viscous industrial liquids
  • Ideal for applications with strict process-safety requirements
  • Engineered for explosion-risk areas where compliant, reliable drum heating is essential
  • IP 54-rated construction helps protect against dust and water ingress in harsh industrial settings
  • Supporting industrial production areas and storage locations where temperature stability is critical

It also integrates effectively with drum heaters, insulated lids and other drum insulation systems.

Does this drum heater require a controller?

No. This model uses a self‑limiting heating cable, so it does not connect to a controller.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes. IP 54 protection rating allows safe use in outdoor environments.

Can I use an insulated lid with this heater?

Yes. You can order an optional conductive lid. The lid improves heat retention, reduces heating times and also enhances frost protection.

This ATEX compliant drum heater UK is the ideal solution for heating for 200–220 L drums in explosive atmospheres. It can be integrated with Flux Ex barrel pumps, as used in chemical, pharmaceutical and oil and gas manufacturing applications.
