Pointers for Choosing the Right Metal Band Heater
Metal Band Heaters are used to warm the contents of a drum or pail like a 55 gallon plastic drum heater or 5 gallon bucket heater. These heaters contain electrical heating elements inside a metal sheath. Before you use such a barrel warmer, you need to know what type of drum or pail the contents are in and what temperature the contents can tolerate.

- Thermostat Control: Thermostat range of 200° – 400° F with a three-heat switch. Reaches a certain temperature and maintains the temperature of a drum or bucket.
