Product Overview

Drum Heater

Reliable Heating Solution for 200L Drums in Hazardous Areas

The ELFH-2600-Ex drum heater from Eltherm is a specially engineered heating system designed for safely and efficiently warming 200-litre standard drums in potentially explosive environments. Whether in the chemical, oil and gas, or food industries, this ATEX-certified drum heater ensures consistent temperature maintenance and process reliability.

These heaters provide a reliable, space-saving solution for the uniform temperature across the drum. The drum heater is on casters and can be fitted around the drum quick and easy using the convenient hand-grips, and is easy to close using the practical quick-release fastener. The mounted handles are dimensioned to allow operation while wearing protective gloves. To minimise heat loss and to shorten heating time, an optional insulated cover is also available.

We offer complete system design, including heat loss calculations, intelligent control systems, and product specification—ensuring full compliance with safety standards and seamless integration with your operational requirements.

Heating Up Drums In Hazardous Areas

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.
