About Clamp On Type Drum Heaters
Round in appearance, clamp on type drum heaters are used for applications where high temperature needs to be achieved within limited period. These heating solutions are especially used when the solution that needs to be heated will not come in their direct contact. These drum heaters are basically multiform heating elements that are wrapped around the exterior of drums. Accessories like quick release toggle fasteners and stainless steel band are used for secure fixing of these drum heaters. Based on application needs, additional clamps are also used to fix clamp on type drum heaters.
Efficient Heating with Fiberglass InsulationFiberglass insulation in our clamp-on drum heaters limits heat loss, ensuring optimal energy usage. Combined with an aluminum structure, this design produces consistent surface temperatures up to 150C and higher on request, delivering reliable performance for industrial applications ranging from chemicals to foodstuffs.
Safe and Simple OperationSafety is integrated with features like overheating protection and earth bonding. The clamp-on mounting system allows for quick, secure attachment and easy removal, simplifying installation and repositioning. An adjustable thermostat (0-300C) delivers automatic, precise temperature regulation for varied heating requirements.
Flexible Applications and CustomizationThese drum heaters are suitable for indoor or covered environments, adaptable to oil, resin, adhesives, and more. Standard units fit 55-gallon/200-liter drums, and customization options are available for capacity, voltage, cable length, and surface temperature to match your exact process needs.
