The Drum Heating Blankets are used for Heating Metal Drums or Heating Plastic Barrels .
Drum Heatin Blankets are ideal for raising and maintaining the temperature of products stored in drums, ensuring the appropriate viscosity and temperature for storage and handling.
The Drum Heating Blankets consist of heating zones made of thermal straps composed of silicone reinforced with fiberglass fabric, resistive wire, a fastening system using stainless steel hooks and springs, with internal and external cabling according to electric current made with Teflon or silicone cable, sewn into an insulation cover made of Cordura fabric, with external insulation in Nomex and internal insulation in ceramic fiber, a temperature controller, and a standard or industrial male power plug.
They withstand continuous operation up to 200ºC (392ºF) and peaks of 230ºC (446ºF) for short periods. Furthermore, they can operate in cold environments down to -40ºC (-104ºF), supporting negative peaks of -90ºC (-130ºF) for shorts periods.
They are manufactured with an excellent insulating material that guarantees electrical insulation up to 20KV. They are also resistant to moisture and chemicals, and are easy to clean.
They are very flexible, allowing them to conform perfectly to your container even if it is dented. The silicone also has a good shore hardness, which gives it a crushing resistance of 1kg/cm².
All fabrics used are flame-retardant (do not propagate fire), non-stick (easy to clean, can be done dry with a cloth and alcohol), waterproof (can work in wet or outdoor environments), resistant to cutting and high temperatures.
The insulation cover used retains heat, preventing the Drum Heating Blanket from losing temperature to the environment, as well as protecting the operator, allowing them to work close to the drum being heated since it insulates between 60 to 70% of the temperature, thus reducing the risk of burns.
The Drum Heating Blanket from Paulista Heaters has good durability with a considerable lifespan of up to 5 years of daily operation within the temperature range it supports.
The Drum Heating Blankets from Paulista Heaters can be controlled by an analog thermostat (we use the IMIT brand), a digital thermostat (we use NOVUS 321), or a digital panel (we use NOVUS 1030 with PID function or NOVUS 1050 for ramp-soak control).
The following sensors or thermocouples can be used: J, K, PT100, PTC, NI 120, or others, for both temperature control of the Drum Heating Blanket and the product to be heated in the drum, or both.
The use of each type of temperature controller depends on the precision required by the process and the thermal dissipation (W/Cm2) of the Drum Heating Blanket.
For dissipation up to 0.5W/Cm², a simpler controller such as the analog thermostat can be used; for dissipation up to 0.7W/Cm², a digital thermostat is recommended; and above that, the ideal is to use a digital panel.
It is important to remember that the power is directly related to the desired heating temperature.
The Drum Heating Blanket from Paulista Heaters is of high quality.
Its controller can be made in accordance with NR10, we also have solutions for working in explosive areas with EX certification, and we comply with international standards with CE certification and other required technical standards, as per customer requests agreed upon in the quotation.
Paulista Heaters offers various solutions for Drum Heating Drum , catering to the most varied sizes.
From simpler solutions with a central or independent controller to more complex solutions with ramp-soak controllers.
The Drum Heating Blanket can have a central controller with 1x analog thermostat, 1 x digital thermostat, or 1x panel with 1x controller to simultaneously control its heating zones, or with independent controllers with 3 x analog thermostats, 3 x digital thermostats, or 1 x panel with 3 x controllers to control its heating zones independently.
In the case of a digital panel, it can be mounted both on the Drum Heating Blanket or on a separate pedestal from the Drum Heating Blanket , being interconnected with a connection pigtail and a multipolar socket.
Drum Heaters are widely used for heating various types of products stored in metal drums or plastic barrels of different sizes.
Therefore, they are extensively employed in the pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and metallurgical industries, in workshops, restaurants, hospitals, and laboratories in general.
