ATEX Drum Heater 50/60L 230V/400W

The ATEX Drum Heater series is the optimal solution for safe and efficient heating of substances stored in steel or plastic drums in potentially explosive atmospheres. Designed to comply with the ATEX directive 2014/34/EU, these explosion-proof ATEX drum heaters are compatible with Zone 1 and 2 (gas) and Zone 21 and 22 (dust) environments — ideal for the oil and gas industry, chemical industry, and pharmaceutical industry.

The heating jacket of the ATEX Drum Heater series is designed to fit the dimensions of a standard drum, providing highly efficient and effective heating. Customizable solutions for non-standard drum dimensions are also available upon request. The ATEX drum heaters are available in a range of drum sizes and configurations — including 25/30L, 50/60L, 100/120L, and 200–220L — and can be used to heat a variety of materials, including liquids, pastes, and solids. Nominal power varies depending on drum size; temperature classes T6, T5, T4, and T3 are achievable depending on the temperature setting of the limiter.

The ATEX Drum Heater for 50/60L Drums is a highly efficient heating solution for medium-sized drums that require precise and safe temperature control in hazardous areas. With a nominal power of 400 W, this ATEX drum heater is ideal for the mining industry, food processing industry, and paint and coatings industry. It can be used to heat a variety of materials, including liquids, pastes, and solids. The ATEX certification ensures safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres, and the IP65/I protection class makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The ATEX Drum Heater for 50/60L Drums is lightweight and easy to transport — ideal for mobile field use in hazardous areas.

The ATEX Drum Heater series is constructed with robust, flexible, and dissipative materials, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The IP65/I protection class ensures dust-tightness and protection against water jets and rain. The ATEX drum heaters are system-approved with an EC-type examination certificate according to RL 2014/34/EU Appendix III — delivered fully configured and ready to use without further acceptance procedures.

To ensure safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres, the ATEX Drum Heater series must be controlled and limited by an ATEX-approved controller/limiter. Our ATEX controller/limiter is designed to meet the requirements of the ATEX directive and provides accurate temperature control and limiting for optimal operational safety and energy efficiency. Two integrated Pt100 sensors (EX-i and EX-e) transmit the temperature signal to the controller, which keeps the heater safely within the permissible operating range.

In summary, the ATEX Drum Heater series is a reliable, safe, and customizable heating solution for drums located in hazardous areas. Compatible with gas and dust environments, it helps protect workers and facilities against the risks of potentially explosive atmospheres. The ATEX Drum Heater for 50/60L Drums is available from stock — Heatxperts delivers industrial quality direct from the manufacturer, EU-wide.
