55 gallon drum heater by Powerblanket reliable drum heating solution

Experience reliable, uniform heat for your 55-gallon drums with a maintenance-free, insulated full-wrap design that eliminates hot and cold spots. This innovative solution quickly brings materials to temperature and maintains them for improved viscosity, flow control, and protection against freezing—down to -40F/-40C—helping preserve valuable chemicals and industrial products without scorching or burning.

Engineered for efficiency, these drum heaters use considerably less energy than conventional band heaters while delivering faster, more even results. New Rapid-Ramp technology increases initial output to speed warm-up, then reduces power as contents approach set temperature for safe, consistent performance. Options include fixed thermostats (commonly preset around 125 F / 51.7 C) and fixed choices (80F, 100F, or 120F), with models that provide higher wattage on startup and lower wattage as the drum warms.

Key Benefits:

• Quickly heat materials and maintain critical temperatures
• Insulated full-wrap design keeps the heat in and the cold out
