Drum heating jackets are specifically designed to gently warm the contents of drums to reduce the viscosity of products or melt solids. These versatile jackets are fitted with a compact digital temperature controller, providing easy to use and precise temperature control.
Not for use with cardboard drums or totes:
Our heater jackets are designed for usage with metal and HDPE plastic 200L drums. Our jackets can only be used with carboard drums in emergency melt-out situations and at temperatures below 65°C. This is due to their high level of thermal insulation.
Use low temperature when heating beef tallow and other viscous products:
When heating beef tallow or similar viscous products, never set the digital controller above 80°C.
Products that absorb heat very slowly can lead to elevated drum temperatures, resulting in similar risks seen with cardboard IBCs. Setting higher temperatures increases the chance of blowing thermal safety fuses.
For best results, use our 1.2kW Heater Jacket (DH121) set to 80°C or below. Remember, effective warm-up comes from higher wattage applied safely, not higher set temperatures.
