Powerblanket now offers drum and bucket warmers as replacements for conventional band heaters, warming ovens and blowers for heating temperature-sensitive materials stored in plastic, metal and other containers. The warmers, according to the company, provide maximum freeze protection by maintaining a desired temperature. The insulated full-wrap design keeps heat in and cold out, working on both metal and poly drums and buckets.
Utilizing patented GreenHeat Technology, the Powerblanket drum and bucket warmers use a heat spreading system designed to provide uniform distribution of heat while only consuming low levels of energy, the maker said. The technology allows containers to be rapidly and consistently warmed without creating hot and cold spots.
Powerblanket warmers operate from a standard 120-volt electrical source and are certified to UL/CSA/CE safety standards. The product line fits 55-, 30- and 15-gal. drums and 5-gal. buckets. A PRO model comes with an adjustable thermostatic controller that allows customers to set and manage material temperatures from ambient up to 160 degrees F. The Rapid Ramp model can heat and keep materials at a temperature of 100 degrees F.
