Steel Drum Heater for 15 Gallon Drums

Coatings, adhesives, resins, and chemical products stored in 15 gallon drums can thicken below their working temperature during cold weather. A drum heater keeps these small-batch products at dispensing viscosity. This is common for specialty coatings and chemicals used in smaller quantities.

The band heater wraps around the outside of the steel drum and secures with a buckle or clamp mechanism. It contacts the drum wall directly for efficient heat transfer. The band is sized specifically for 15 gallon drum diameters and will not fit larger drums without modification.

Yes. The thermostat maintains the set temperature by cycling the heating element. This prevents overheating the drum contents while keeping them warm enough to dispense. Set the thermostat to the product manufacturer's recommended storage or dispensing temperature for best results.

No. The band diameter is sized for 15 gallon drums. Using it on a larger drum leaves gaps in the band contact, reducing heating efficiency and potentially damaging the heater. Creative Coating Solutions offers separate drum heaters for 30 gallon and 55 gallon drums at the correct band sizes.

The Steel Drum Heater for 15 Gallon Drums is priced at $289.84 (SKU DRH-S-15). Ships in stock from Creative Coating Solutions. Band-style, thermostat-controlled heater for maintaining small-batch coating and chemical viscosity in cold shop environments.
