Drum heaters are perfect for steel or plastic drums where you want to keep the contents at a consistent temperature, a certain viscosity or just keeping the contents from freezing.

Drum Heaters and Insulation

The drum jackets and lids are available in a wide range of formats including ATEX as shown below. Manufactured in Denmark and supplied in the UK by Merlin Industrial Products. 

The insulated jacket shown above is designed as a jacket for a standard drum, isolating and maintaining the temperature inside the drum. As for standards, the insulation jacket fits a standard 200-litre drum.

If you wish to heat the content in a drum, you can add to the insulation jacket with a base drum heater. In this way, the insulation jacket helps isolates the drum and speeds up the heating process.

The jacket is designed in durable nylon with polyester on the inside. The jacket is also equipped with Velcro pads, which makes it effortless to attach or de-attach on a drum. Furthermore, there is easy access to the top of the drum through the lid of the jacket.

This insulation jacket has a standard size to fit a 200-litre drum. We do however on request produce other size insulation jackets. Please contact us for further details and delivery time.
