The high-temperature base drum heater is designed to heat metal drums from below. The electric heating platform helps maintain the required temperature, reduce the viscosity of liquids and soften materials that thicken or solidify when cooled.
The base drum heater is suitable for standard metal drums with a capacity of up to 200 litres. Its built-in thermostat allows the operating temperature of the heating platform to be adjusted between 50 and 300 °C.
The heater can be used for oils, diesel fuel, resins, petroleum jelly, waxes, fats, greases, glues, adhesives and other industrial materials. The selected temperature must always be suitable for the material being heated.

Main benefits of the base drum heater
- heats metal drums efficiently from below;
- suitable for standard metal drums up to 200 L;
- adjustable thermostat from 50 to 300 °C;
- 1800 W heating power;
- helps reduce the viscosity of thick materials;
- makes pumping and dispensing easier;
- durable industrial construction;
- IP54 ingress protection;
- simple installation without fastening straps;
- can be combined with a drum heating jacket;
- compatible with an insulated drum cover.
The heating surface has a diameter of approximately 550 mm. For efficient heat transfer, the drum should be positioned centrally and stand securely on the heating platform.
Temperature control and use
The thermostat setting determines the operating temperature of the heating platform, not the exact temperature of the contents inside the drum.
The actual product temperature and heating time depend on:
- the type and quantity of material being heated;
- the initial temperature of the product;
- the ambient temperature;
- the construction of the drum;
- heat loss;
- the use of additional thermal insulation.
The maximum thermostat setting of 300 °C is not suitable for every material. Always check the maximum permitted temperature of the drum and its contents before switching on the heater.
When faster heating is required, the base drum heater can be used together with an electric drum heating jacket and an insulated cover. This combination reduces heat loss and improves the overall efficiency of the heating process.
