Poly Drum Heater for 55 Gallon Drums

Many coatings, resins, and chemicals thicken in cold temperatures, making them difficult to dispense or apply. A drum heater maintains the contents at working viscosity without overheating. In unheated shops during winter, drum heaters prevent product waste from cold-thickened materials.

The built-in thermostat maintains a set temperature range. It cycles the heating element on and off to hold the drum contents within the target temperature without overheating. This prevents thermal degradation of heat-sensitive chemicals while keeping the material warm enough for proper dispensing.

No. The wrap-around design distributes heat evenly across the drum surface. Unlike bottom-only heaters that concentrate heat at one point, the wrap heater contacts a large portion of the drum wall for uniform temperature throughout the drum contents. This prevents localized overheating.

Poly drum heaters are designed for poly (plastic) drums with flexible wrap construction that conforms to the drum shape. Steel drum heaters are rigid band-style heaters sized for steel drums. Using the wrong type reduces heating efficiency and may not fit the drum diameter correctly.

The Poly Drum Heater for 55 Gallon Drums is priced at $403.90 (SKU DRH-P-55). Ships in stock from Creative Coating Solutions. Thermostat-controlled wrap-around heater for maintaining coating and chemical viscosity in cold shop environments. Fits standard 55 gallon poly drums.
