Barrel heaters - Import export

We offer an extensive range of drum and barrel heaters and container heaters: Heating jackets, silicone drum heaters, base drum heaters and insulating but unheated drum jackets and lids for heating and insulating plastic and metal drums respectively containers. According to the destined application we use polyester, silicone, teflon and glass fibre for our drum heaters and container heaters. Some of the materials are coated and multi-layered resp. combined. Our drum heaters can be used individually and in combination and can be ordered and delivered online (shop.freek.de) for all standard drum sizes (25 / 50 / 105 / 200 litres). Of course, we also manufacture our heating jackets, heating sleeves, base heaters and insulating bonnets individually to fit your container and your special application. HC - Heating cabinets If you heat several drums or containers together or need a container heater for the ATEX area, the heating cabinets from our partner Amarc are the right choice.

The HTSD-High Temperature Drum Heater is our high temperature drum heater (220 °C) and exclusively suitable for steel drums. The heating jacket is used in areas where large surfaces need heating over 90 °C. This barrel heater is available in four standard sizes (25 / 50 / 105 / 200 liters) and can be manufactured to customer specifications as well. HISD heater jackets are particularly suited to melt soaps, fats, varnishes and oil-based products, or respectively reduce their viscosity. The 200-liter element can be combined with the HBD - base drum heater to reduce the heat-up time. The heating element of the HTSD heating jackets is sewn into a fleece made of silicone-insulated fibreglass material. The insulating outer housing consists of a binder-free mat made of textile glass. The heating element is therefore double insulated (protection class II). An optimal contact with the barrel, as well as a quick assembly and dismantling are achieved by the use of quick release buckles.

The HSHP – Drum Heater (220 °C) is suitable for steel drums (and with restrictions also for plastic drums). The outer material is a Teflon which is released for contact with food. The material possesses high levels of chemical and acid resistance. However, products such as waxes, soaps and materials with high water content can be heated excellently as well. The drum heating jacket is lightweight, robust and free of silicone. The excellent thermal transfer properties due to the perfect fit result in homogenous temperatures. Our silicone-free high-temperature drum heater is available in the standard size of 200 liters but can also be made to customer specification.

High performance cartridges and heating elements are excellently suited to direct heating of all kinds of tools. Area, ring and barrel heaters are suitable for heating boilers and moulds, tools, die plates, machine parts and a range of other purposes. They can be manufactured individually to size, voltage and output specifically for your application. High performance cartridges are suitable for tool heating in the many different fields in which a specific compatible operating temperature is required. High performance cartridges are essential in the thermal machining process field. High surface loadings facilitate a correspondingly high performance in a small installation area, at operating temperatures of up to 750°C at the heating cartridge jacket. We produce diameters between 6 mm and 45 mm to order. Different types of feed also allow high performance cartridges to be matched to the relevant installation situation.

The HSSD - Side Drum Heater is an easy and actual aid to the warming of steel barrels. It has got a higher efficiency than the Insulated Jacket HISD, but no thermal insulating function. For a very quick heating and higher temperatures up to three drum heaters can be used simultaneously for a 200-liter barrel. The Side Drum Heater is available in four standard sizes (25 / 50 / 105 / 200 liters) and can of course be made to measure, too. HSSD - Side Drum Heaters are suitable in particular to defrost frozen or other products, thus allowing to empty the barrels rapidly. Soaps, fats, varnishes and oily products can be melted as well, respectively reduced in their viscosity. In addition, the 200-liter element can be used in conjunction with the HBD Base Drum Heater to shorten the heating-up time further.
