Steel Drum Heater for 55 Gallon Drums

Yes. The steel drum heater is a rigid band that clamps around a steel drum. The poly drum heater is a flexible wrap that conforms to poly drum surfaces. Using a steel band heater on a poly drum may not contact properly and could damage the plastic. Match the heater type to your drum material.

The thermostat is adjustable across a range suitable for industrial drum heating applications. Set it to match your product manufacturer's recommended storage or dispensing temperature. Typical settings range from 70F to 150F depending on the viscosity requirements of the specific coating or chemical.

Energy consumption depends on the ambient shop temperature and thermostat setting. The thermostat cycles the element on and off, so the heater does not draw continuous power. In a cold shop with a large temperature differential, expect higher energy use than in a moderately cool environment.

No. Each drum heater fits one drum. The band diameter is specific to the drum size. For multiple drums, order one heater per drum. If you regularly heat multiple drums, the investment in dedicated heaters per drum prevents the time wasted transferring a single heater between drums throughout the day.
