Get the job done faster with a LOT less electricity!

• Full coverage heaters require less wattage to obtain optimal  heat
• Use with 5-55 gallon plastic and steel pails and drums
• ETL Certified to UL/CSA Safety Standards
• Indoor or outdoor use

powerblanket® uniform heat spreading technology heats up faster, cools down slower, and uses much less electricity than conventional band heaters. Use on plastic or steel drums. powerblanket® heaters come ready to use. Just unroll, wrap around your container, and plug into any 120V outlet. Supplied with adjustable straps to ensure proper fit on containers that vary slightly in size.

Rapid Ramp Heater (RR) doubles the watt density to quickly heat up to a maximum temperature of 100° F then automatically backs down to one-half power to maintain temperature. This automatic function is all internal and preset. In an indoor environment with an ambient temperature of 70° F, heater PBL55-RR will heat a 55 gallon plastic drum filled with 70° F water to 100° F in 5.5 hours. It would take two to three band heaters to equal the heating power of one powerblanket® heater. Rapid Ramp Heaters do not have an adjustable thermostat.

Pro Heater (PRO) includes an in-line thermostat with heat probe for measuring the temperature of the liquid in the container. The thermostat is fully adjustable with a temperature range from -23° F to 160° F maximum temperature.

Puts a lot of heating power into your IBC...and protects your product

• Full coverage "plug and play" system
• Fits plastic tote tanks 40" x 40" to 48" x 48"
• Available in three heights: 36", 40" and 48

Tote tanks and IBCs containing slow moving product such as honey, molasses, lube oil or other non-hazardous liquids can be difficult to dispense, especially when stored in a cool area or when winter strikes. The Wrap-Around design allows non-invasive heating and will not contaminate or scorch product. Thermostat is adjustable 50-160° F.Two separate heating zones help prevent product and heater damage. Constructed of silicone impregnated cloth facing and liner filled with 1/4" fiberglass insulation, the heater blanket is held in place with adjustable nylon straps with buckles. Blanket has a small opening for valve accessibility. Supplied with a 6' power cord with standard plug: 120VAC - NEMA 5-15 or 240VAC - NEMA 6-15. An optional insulated top cover is available for faster heat-up and efficient temperature maintenance.
