Steel Sheath Immersion Steel Drum Heater, 240 V,4000W

• Direct Immersion Heating: heats liquid faster by placing heat right inside the drum
• Wide Temperature Range: adjustable from 60°F to 250°F for better control
• Over-Temperature Protection: built-in safety cutout helps prevent overheating
• 2" Bung Fit: installs easily into standard 55 gallon steel drums
• Adjustable Mounting Bracket: keeps heater off drum wall and away from sludge
• Pilot Indicator Light: shows when the heater is on or cycling

240V steel drum immersion heater for viscous liquid heating and temperature control is designed to improve flow and handling of thick liquids stored in steel drums. By placing heat directly into the liquid, this heater works faster and more efficiently than external drum heaters. It helps reduce downtime and makes pumping and pouring easier.

This immersion heater is built for 55 gallon steel drums with a standard 2-inch bung opening. The compact riser design heats only the lower 8 inches, which allows the liquid level to change without damaging the unit. This design also helps avoid overheating when the drum is not completely full.

The adjustable thermostat gives you full control from 60°F to 250°F. This range works well for oils, syrups, waxes, and other thick materials that need steady heat to stay usable. A built-in over-temperature cutout adds another layer of protection by shutting off the heater if it gets too hot.

An adjustable mounting bracket lets you position the heater safely inside the drum. It keeps the heating element away from the drum wall and above any sludge that may settle at the bottom. This helps extend the life of the heater and keeps heating more consistent.

The unit runs on 240 volts with 4000 watts of power, providing strong and steady heating for industrial use. A pilot light shows when the heater is on or cycling, so you always know its status. The heater uses a NEMA 1 control housing and requires hard wiring, with no cord or plug included.

This heater is a solid choice when you deal with thick liquids that slow down in cooler temperatures. Instead of waiting for outside heat to warm the drum, you can apply heat directly where it matters. This saves time and helps keep your workflow moving.

It works well in shops, warehouses, and industrial settings where materials like oils or coatings need to stay at a usable consistency. You can install it quickly through the bung opening and adjust the bracket to match your setup. Once installed, it runs with minimal attention.

Because it heats from inside the liquid, you get more even results compared to wrap-around heaters. This reduces hot spots and helps protect your material. The safety cutout and thermostat control give you confidence when running it for longer periods.

If your operation depends on moving liquids without clogging or slow flow, this heater helps solve that problem. It keeps materials ready to pump, pour, or mix without constant reheating or handling issues.
