Silicone Drum Heater 200 Litres 120C | Food and Pharmaceutical Grade Double Thermostat

High Temperature Silicone Drum Heater: Hygienic Solution for Food and Pharma

The Kuhlmann Drum Heater for food and pharmaceutical products is the essential equipment for raising and maintaining the temperature of liquids contained in standard 200-litre metal drums. Designed specifically for sectors subject to strict hygiene and safety regulations, this drum heater guarantees a heating process that is simple, fast and safe, capable of reaching a maximum temperature of 120 degrees Celsius. It is the ideal tool for managing the viscosity of ingredients, excipients or finished products, ensuring their pumpability and compliance with industrial standards.

Thermal Performance and Precision Control

This drum heating device is equipped with technology ensuring efficient and controlled heat distribution. The spiral-wound heating element is insulated with silicone, guaranteeing optimal thermal transfer to the metal drum.

The key feature of this high-temperature drum heater is the integration of two thermostats. This dual regulation allows precise temperature control over the range of 0 to 120 degrees Celsius. The double thermostat provides increased safety and the ability to manage the heat rise with precision, which is crucial for heat-sensitive liquids in the pharmaceutical and food industries. The heating time is efficient, as demonstrated by the time required to heat 200 litres of water from +15C to +80C in approximately 24 hours (for a 1200 W model).

Superior Quality Materials and Regulatory Compliance

The design of this drum heater is based on the use of special silicone materials and a silicone/glass fibre jacket. This technical choice offers an essential advantage for the food and pharmaceutical sectors: the silicone used complies with industry regulations, in particular by preventing bacterial proliferation.

• Jacket: The outer jacket, made from a glass filament and silicone blanket, ensures great durability and resistance in sometimes demanding working environments.

• Protection: The device benefits from IP54 protection, ensuring it is protected against dust deposits and water splashes, an essential level of safety for cleaning and hygiene.

• Safety and Transport: The drum heater is equipped with adjustable quick-release straps, facilitating its secure attachment to the drum. This ease of fastening makes it a perfect accessory for transporting drums where maintaining temperature or a specific viscosity is imperative.

Technical Description and Targeted Uses

This heating device is designed to be immediately operational and easy to use in the field:

• Standard size: Suitable for 200-litre metal drums.

• Power supply: Supplied with a 10-foot (approximately 3 metres) power cable for flexible connection.

• Thermostat: Dual adjustable thermostat from 0 to 120C.

This drum heater is particularly relevant for the following applications:

• Food Industry: Heating of fats, edible oils, honey or syrups to facilitate packaging or transfer.

• Pharmaceutical Industry: Temperature maintenance of solvents, base chemicals or excipients requiring a constant temperature to preserve their integrity.

Compliance with current regulations and the reliability of the double thermostat make this product a strategic choice for quality assurance.
