ATEX Base Heater 200L 240V/800W T4 (135C) ~80C

The ATEX Base Drum Heater 200L is designed specifically for maintaining the temperature of media in 200L drums in hazardous environments. With extensive expertise in ATEX products, this base drum heater ensures maximum safety and reliability, meeting the stringent requirements of ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. Constructed from a robust aluminium heating plate (anodized black, Ø 546 mm) and equipped with self-regulating heating cable technology, the ATEX base drum heater provides consistent and even heat distribution. The integrated digital thermostat allows for precise temperature control — ideal for viscous liquids, chemicals and temperature-sensitive materials.

The ATEX base drum heater is ideal for use in chemical processing plants, oil refineries and other industrial settings where hazardous gases may be present. The IP66 protection rating ensures reliable performance in wet and harsh outdoor environments. Conductive castors facilitate easy transportation and precise positioning of the ATEX base drum heater wherever it is needed.

This 800W variant is rated for temperature class T4 (135°C) and optimized for operation at approximately 80°C — suited for medium-temperature applications, viscosity reduction and process heating. The built-in externally mounted encapsulated controller offers precise temperature control across the full control range.
