55 Gallon Drum Heater for Steel & Plastic Drums with Adjustable Controls
Thick liquids can be hard to work with. Cold temperatures slow them down. This drum and pail heater is designed to fix that problem fast. It helps increase the flow rate of viscous materials by warming them evenly and safely. If you work with oils, chemicals, food products, or coatings, this heater makes your job easier every day.
This heater is built for both steel and plastic drums and pails. It installs in seconds using a spring-loaded toggle clamp. No tools are needed. Once installed, the heater wraps tightly around the container and spreads heat across the entire surface. This even heat helps prevent hot spots that can damage materials.
The heater includes internal fiberglass insulation to hold heat where it¡¦s needed. This improves efficiency and reduces heat loss. The only exception is the LIMD55-115 model, which does not include insulation. A bright neon pilot light lets you know when the heater is on, so there¡¦s no guesswork.
You can choose from three heating control options to match your application. The thermostat control with a three-heat switch is ideal for steel drums holding materials that respond well to heat. The thermostat bulb senses temperature away from the heating elements for better accuracy. The three-heat switch allows you to select different wattage ranges for better control.
The infinite (variable) control with a three-heat switch is designed for sensitive materials. This includes food products like chocolate or honey, as well as light oils and undercoating materials. These materials can burn or separate if overheated. This model does not use a thermostat. Instead, it allows you to fine-tune heat within three wattage ranges for precise control.
For plastic drums, there is a dedicated plastic drum heater with a pre-set, non-adjustable thermostat. This model will not exceed 165¢XF, which is the maximum temperature recommended by many plastic drum manufacturers. It uses a simple on-off power control to keep operation easy and safe.
All models include a 6-foot power cord and are backed by a one-year warranty. They are UL-Listed and CSA certified for quality and safety. These heaters are for indoor use only. They are not moisture-proof or explosion-proof and should not be used with flammable materials or near flammable areas.
If you need reliable, fast, and even heating for drums and pails, this heater delivers dependable performance in tough industrial environments.
This drum and pail heater is a smart solution for facilities that deal with thick or slow-moving materials. When liquids get cold, they become hard to pump, pour, or mix. This heater helps bring them back to the right temperature so work can continue without delays.
It works well in warehouses, factories, food processing plants, and maintenance shops. Use it to warm oils before pumping, soften coatings for spraying, or keep food products flowing smoothly. The even heat distribution helps protect product quality while improving efficiency.
The heater is designed with flexibility in mind. Steel drum models offer adjustable heating for general industrial use. Infinite control models give you extra protection when working with sensitive materials. Plastic drum models are preset to stay within safe temperature limits, giving you peace of mind.
Durability is another key benefit. The strong construction holds up to daily use in demanding environments. The insulation helps reduce energy waste, which can lower operating costs over time.
Simple controls make the heater easy for any operator to use. There¡¦s no complicated setup or programming. Just install it, choose your heat setting, and plug it in. With reliable performance and certified safety, this heater is a dependable choice for improving workflow and reducing downtime.
