High Temperature Base Drum Heater 50-300°C

 

 

The Kuhlmann Electro-Heat High Temperature Base Drum Heater 50-300°C 1800W is designed to heat metal drums directly from underneath, providing a powerful solution for applications requiring higher temperatures than a conventional base drum heater.

 

With a diameter of Ø550 mm, the heater is suitable for different sizes of metal drums up to the standard industrial 200 L drum. The drum is positioned directly on the heated base, allowing heat to transfer upwards through the bottom of the container and into its contents.

 

The heater features an integrated thermostat adjustable from 50 to 300°C, providing temperature control according to the requirements of the application and the properties of the product being heated.

 

The unit incorporates 50 mm Rockwool insulation, a 3 m power cable and an IP54 protection rating.

 

The base heater can be used as a standalone heating solution or combined with a suitable Drum Heating Jacket or Insulation Jacket when faster heating or reduced heat loss is required.

IMPORTANT

The integrated thermostat has an adjustable range of 50-300°C. The actual maximum permissible operating temperature must always be determined according to the product being heated, the metal drum and the conditions of the specific application.

This heater is designed for metal drums. A temperature range extending to 300°C does not mean that every product or container can safely be heated to this temperature.

Applications in hazardous areas where potentially explosive atmospheres may occur require suitably certified ATEX heating equipment.

 

 

TIP

For a faster heating process, the Base Drum Heater can be used together with a suitable Drum Heating Jacket. The base heater transfers heat from underneath while the jacket heats the drum around its circumference.

A suitable Insulation Jacket can also be used to reduce heat loss and improve the overall energy efficiency of the heating process.
