PailPro 5-Gallon
Pail Heaters
Our flexible drum heaters provide
a simple, effective and reliable
way to heat the contents of your
drums. A drum heater is available
for almost any steel, plastic or fiber
drum. . . even heaters for metal
and plastic 5-gallon pails.
Steel pail - 300 watt
   with 3" wide band
• Plastic pail - 300 watt
   with 3" wide band
Drum heaters have an adjustable thermostat for a
control range of 50° to 450° F.
Though quick to fasten, they assure thorough band
contact for effective heat transfer through the drum
wall to the material inside. You won't be troubled
by dents or kinks which can damage metal band
heaters and keep them from completely contacting
the drum.
Our band drum heaters are made of tough, long lasting,
fiberglass reinforced silicone rubber. They are easy to
keep clean because few chemicals will stick to
silicone rubber.
Properly positioned below the content level of
the drum, the drum heater provides uniform
heat. Two or more drum heaters may be used
on the same drum for faster warming.
To attach to your drum, simply wrap the drum heater
around and attach the spring and hook arrangement.
Because these heaters are pliable, they conform to
the wall of the drum.

Easy to attach heater to drum
Simply wrap the heater around your drum and
attach the spring and hook arrangement. Always
clamp the drum heater around drum prior to
plugging in.
Estimate the time required to reach a set temperature
Step 1 - Subtract your drum's starting temperature from the
desired temperature. This difference is the necessary
"TEMPERATURE RISE FROM AMBIENT."
Step 2 - Find where the curve reaches the necessary RISE
value and read the corresponding number of HOURS on
the scale at bottom of the graph.
Example - You have 14 hours until the drum needs to be at
150° F (66° C). Its starting temperature is 30° F (-1° C).
So you need to a RISE of 120° F (67° C).
The chart shows a RISE of little more than 70° F (39° C) at
14 hours using one drum heater. Use two 1500 watt heaters
to increase the temperature by 120° F (67° C) in only 12 hours.
NOTE: Thermostat knob markings are "relative." Should
you require a higher degree of accuracy, measure the drum
temperature directly and adjust the thermostat accordingly.
Assure that the heater's setting will not exceed maximum
allowable temperature for the contents of your drum.
CAUTION: Drum contents may be hazardous. Some
materials may become more hazardous when heated. Refer
to the Material Safety Data Sheets for the material in your
drums. It is the user's responsibility to take appropriate safety
and protective measures.
Thermostat
Our drum heaters have an adjustable
thermostat with a range of 50° to 450° F
(10° to 232° C). You can set the maximum
temperature to automatically be
maintained at the temperature you
require.
Our heaters are NOT for use with flammables, and NOT for
"explosion hazard"areas. Excessive heat may be
harmful to some materials.
INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE: The graph assumes
that ambient air temperature and drum initial temperature
are the same. Graph is based on heater performance with
a drum of water. Performance with other materials
may differ.
Once attached to a drum and plugged in,
the heater will continuously warm the
drum temperature as high as the heater's
thermostat setting. Then the thermostat
will turn the heat off and on to maintain
the temperature. The actual time it takes
to reach the setting is a function of the
necessary temperature rise and other
factors such as the nature of the material,
its specific heat, ambient air temperature,
etc.
