Foodstuffs Drum Heater for 200L Drums

When working with foodstuffs, it's crucial to reliably heat and store temperature-sensitive materials. In an industry with a laser-focus on health and safety, you can't afford even a small deviation in the temperature of your products during storage.

The Foodstuffs Drum Heater for 200L Drums from Heatxperts is the optimal method to ensure food safety and improve operational efficiency. Our unique technology provides secure, fast and uniform heating to the entire surface of your container.

The Foodstuffs Drum Heater is also ideal for melting and reducing the viscosity of materials quickly and reliably — eliminating unnecessary product waste and using less energy than traditional steam or radiant heaters, without worrying about freezing or scorching.

CE and FDA 21 CFR § 177.2600 certified, the Foodstuffs Drum Heater for 200L Drums complies with European safety standards. Its high-quality and lightweight design makes it easy to attach to any standard metal or HDPE poly drum (up to 40°C) using adjustable quick-release buckles — ideal for both stationary and mobile heating applications.

Equipped with a digital temperature controller (0–120°C range), the Foodstuffs Drum Heater for 200L Drums heats a 200-liter water-filled drum from 18°C to 88°C in less than 24 hours — considerably faster than conventional silicone drum heaters.

Configurations: 1-Zone or 2-Zone

The Foodstuffs Drum Heater for 200L Drums is available in two configurations:

• 2-Zone (2 × 600 W): Independent temperature control for the upper and lower half of the drum. Ideal for temperature-sensitive media where precision is more important than heating speed — such as honey, chocolate or sensitive edible oils.
• 1-Zone (1 × 1200 W): Concentrated heating power with a single control loop. Ideal for homogeneous media that require fast and even heating — such as edible oils, food-grade fats or gelatine applications.

Both configurations meet the same safety standards (FDA 21 CFR § 177.2600 and CE) and use the same silicone fiberglass construction. The choice depends entirely on your application requirements.
