Powerblanket 55 Gallon / 208 Liter - Drum Heating Blanket

PBL55: the PBL55 is an insulated band-style drum heater specifically designed to fit a 55 gallon drum. The heater is built for use with 120 volts AC, drawing 2 amps thus producing 240 watts. It has a preset thermostat set for maximum product temperatures of up to 145 F / 63 C (± 10 F / 5 C). One band on the drum will usually run cooler than 145 °F because it only covers part of the barrel. Placing a second PBL55 above the first on the drum will generally decrease the time to heat and increase the maximum temperature your product reaches. Similarly, adding a third PBL55 up near the top of the barrel will improve things even more sometimes one is good enough, other times you might want to use two or three – it depends on your application. The PBL55 band style drum heaters allow you to safely control the temperature of expensive chemicals and other fluids; it delivers a barrier of uniform directional heat where it’s needed most – preventing fluids from freezing and maintaining optimal temperatures. This innovative heat-spreading technology insulates, protects and maintains heat in a wide variety of applications. And it's certified by ET to UL & CSA safety standards.
