ATEX Drum Heaters
ATEX Drum Heaters
ATEX drum heaters are specialised heating devices designed for use in environments with a risk of explosive atmospheres. These hazardous area drum heaters are the most efficient way to quickly heat large quantities of substances stored in drums, gas bottles, or IBC containers.
They provide even and controlled heating, with precise temperature regulation to ensure optimal process control. With ATEX certification, these heaters comply with strict EU safety standards, making them ideal for industries such as chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical, where hazardous materials are handled.
Non-hazardous area drum heaters are available for “safe” industrial applications where drum contents require heating to prevent thickening, solidifying or crystallising – drum heating temperatures dependent upon minimum ambient temperature, working location, drum contents and drum size.
The WEXHD series of drum heating jackets are used for protection against frost, temperature maintenance and process heating in the temperature range from -40 °C to +200 °C.
Drum heaters with ATEX certification are suitable for providing hazardous area heating to drums and IBC heaters in Zone 1 and Zone 2 locations (T2, T4, T6 Temperature Ratings) – the heaters maintain viscosity, heat-up and provide frost protection of the drum contents including water, oils, fats, waxes and fuels.
Drum heaters are used to raise and heat-up critical process temperatures to prevent drum contents degrading – product heat up times can be controlled by thermostatically operated heaters reducing batch losses caused by sub-optimum temperature levels.
This type of heater is commonly referred to as a band heater, barrel heater, canister heater or container heater – is used to reduce viscosity and improve flow behaviour to ensure filling, pumping or bottling of the drum contents.
