Back to FAQ listWhich is the difference between drums heater bands and drums heater jackets, how can I make a choice?
Well, I will try to give an answer clear and useful. Both drums heater band and drums heater jackets are used for the same purpose: heating raw material contained in the drum. So, if I have a plastic drum (which tolerate a max temperatura of 90°C) I will choose a drum heater jacket with thermostat 0/90°C, to avoid the risk of melting the drum with the products. Otherwise, if I have a steel drum I could use silicone drum heater bands (with thermostat 0/130°C) and decide to place on the drum only one band (on the bottom) or two or three bands on the same drum, to obtain faster and uniform heating.
Heating jackets (with thermostat 0/90°C) can be used equally on plastic or steel drums, as they are insulated and installed power is less than drum heater bands and so the will have less energy consumption and being high as the drum the heat in uniform way on all the surface.
If product doesn’t damage or have thermal shock beyond increasing temperature and you want to reduce fluidisation times, you can also choose an heating jacket high power with thermostat 0/220°C.
