Heated Insulated Jacket for 200L Plastic Drums 1KW (0-80°C)

Gentle & Effective Heating for Temperature-Sensitive Liquids in Plastic Drums

When chemicals, water, or other liquids in 200-liter plastic drums are exposed to cold ambient conditions, they can freeze, become highly viscous, or undergo undesirable phase changes. This leads to frustrating operational difficulties, significant downtime, and potential product spoilage. Traditional high-heat drum heaters aren't suitable for plastic drums due to the risk of damage.

Our Heated Insulated Jacket for 200L Plastic Drums provides the perfect solution. Specifically engineered for the unique requirements of plastic containers, this 1KW (1000 Watt) heating jacket offers efficient and gentle warmth. With a single-zone digital temperature controller allowing precise adjustments from 0°C to 80°C, it safely protects drum contents from freezing, prevents viscosity increases, and ensures liquids remain in optimal condition for easy dispensing. Crafted from durable silicone-coated fibreglass material and double-insulated, it's your reliable partner for consistent performance in cold environments.

• CE Certified: Meets stringent European safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.

How It Works

Our Heated Insulated Jacket wraps snugly around your standard 200L plastic drum. Inside, strategically placed heating elements efficiently transfer gentle warmth through the durable, silicone-coated fibreglass material directly to the drum wall. The integrated single-zone digital temperature controller precisely monitors the liquid's temperature. You set your desired temperature within the 0-80°C range, and the controller intelligently cycles the 1KW heating power on and off to maintain it, preventing freezing and viscosity issues without overheating the plastic.

Important Installation & Safety Notice

Installation, operation, and maintenance of this Heated Insulated Jacket for Plastic Drums must strictly adhere to all local electrical codes, safety regulations, and the provided user manual. Ensure all personnel are properly trained. This heater is specifically designed for use with plastic drums and has a controlled temperature range of 0-80°C to prevent damage. Always verify that your specific plastic drum material is compatible with temperatures up to 80°C. This standard heater is for non-hazardous materials; if heating flammable or hazardous materials, it is imperative to use equipment specifically certified for such environments (e.g., ATEX-rated). Failure to follow safety guidelines can result in electrical shock, fire, product damage, or other serious hazards.

"We use these for our purified water drums in an unheated facility, and they prevent freezing perfectly. The temperature control is straightforward, and the build quality feels very durable. Knowing it's designed for plastic gives us great peace of mind. Highly recommend!" - Operations Lead, Pharmaceutical Prep

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Why is this heater specifically for plastic drums?

A1: This heater is designed for plastic drums because its temperature range is limited to 0-80°C, which is generally safe for most common plastic drum materials (like HDPE). Higher temperature heaters designed for metal drums could cause plastic drums to warp, melt, or release harmful fumes.

Q2: What does "single-zone digital temperature controller" mean for this heater?

A2: It means the entire heating jacket operates as one unit, controlled by a single digital thermostat. You set one target temperature (between 0-80°C), and the heater works to maintain that uniform temperature across the drum's surface for consistent heating of your liquid.

Q3: Can I use this 1KW heater for very thick or solid materials in plastic drums?

A3: While the 1KW power is efficient for maintaining temperature and preventing freezing, for extremely thick, solidified, or high-melting-point materials, heating in plastic drums is limited by the maximum safe temperature (80°C). Always check the material's viscosity profile and melting point in relation to this range. For very stubborn materials, consider heating in metal drums with a higher-temperature system if compatible.

Q4: Is this drum heater suitable for outdoor use in all weather conditions?

A4: The IP65 rated terminal enclosure provides excellent protection against dust and water jets.1 However, for prolonged, continuous outdoor exposure to harsh weather (e.g., heavy rain, direct sunlight for extended periods, extreme cold), specialized "outdoor use solutions" with higher weatherproofing or additional shelter for the drum and heater are recommended.

Q5: How does this heater prevent residue and promote dissolution?

A5: By maintaining an optimal temperature, the heater keeps viscous liquids flowing more freely, reducing material clinging to the drum walls. For materials that dissolve, the controlled warmth helps speed up the dissolution process by increasing molecular movement.
