Drum Heating

Process advantages of Heating Drums

Many materials become viscous at room temperature, notably sugars, syrups, fats, surfactants, lubricants and a variety of chemicals. Without heating product typically cannot be discharged quickly from a drum into the production process, even at room temperature. Raising the ambient temperature to improve production efficiency is a costly and often impractical process.

Heating the drum, or other container type, provides a practical and effective method for maintaining process efficiency, by allowing faster decant of ingredients at all times and in all environments.

A further advantage of heating drums is a better product yield. Without heating, many contents cannot be fully discharged due to their viscosity, leaving waste product in the container which can add significantly to manufacturing costs.

Inditherm drum heating jackets and base heaters can thus deliver valuable advantages to the manufacturing process, with reduced waste and shorter production cycle times. The precision control and even heat application afforded by Inditherm’s technology avoids the problems of product spoil associated with some other types of heater.

Features and Benefits

Inditherm provides a range of heated jackets to fit the most common sizes of drums. All jackets use Inditherms patented carbon polymer technology (CPT) to ensure that heat is applied evenly over a large surface area, giving high thermal transfer characteristics that deliver highest heating performance at lowest running cost.

Drum Heating Product Range Overview

Inditherm not only supply a range of jackets to fit drums we also offer two heating options along with fixed or variable temperature control depending on your processing requirements.

Performance Characheristics

Inditherm drum heaters give the highest performance available. This includes fastest time to heat up process ingredients, highest energy efficiency, lowest running costs, largest heating surface area and high precision temperature control.
