SKU PBL55
PBL55: The PBL55 is an insulated band-style drum heater specifically designed to fit a 55-gallon drum. The heater is built for use with 120 volts AC, drawing 2 amps thus producing 240 watts. It has a preset thermostat set for maximum product temperatures of up to 145 ºF / 63 ºC (± 10 ºF / 5 ºC). One band on the drum will usually run cooler than 145 °F because it only covers part of the barrel. Placing a second PBL55 above the first on the drum will generally decrease the time to heat and increase the maximum temperature your product reaches. Similarly, adding a third PBL55 up near the top of the barrel will improve things even more Sometimes one is good enough, other times you might want to use two or three - it depends on your application. The PBL55 band style drum heaters allow you to safely control the temperature of expensive chemicals and other fluids; it delivers a barrier of uniform directional heat where it's needed most - preventing fluids from freezing and maintaining optimal temperatures. This innovative heat-spreading technology insulates, protects, and maintains heat in a wide variety of applications. Powerblanket Lite line is designed for heating jobs on a smaller scale. These models feature a lower power density than Powerblanket Industrial or Powerblanket Xtreme products. Rest assured that these heaters are the real deal!
