Jacket-Type Barrel Heaters from EHT Engineering

Smart Solutions for Safe, Efficient and Practical Heating of Industrial Liquids

Maintaining liquids at the correct temperature in industrial production processes is critical for product quality and process efficiency. Temperature control becomes a vital requirement, especially when handling and transporting materials that increase in viscosity, freeze, or crystallize at low temperatures. At EHT Engineering, we offer safe and long-lasting solutions specifically designed for industrial facilities with our Jacket-Type Drum Heaters, developed to meet this need.

What is a Jacket Type Barrel Heater?

Jacket-type drum heaters are electrically powered heating systems that wrap around the outer surface of standard 200-liter drums. Typically made from silicone-coated fiberglass fabric, these jackets completely surround the drum, ensuring even heating of the liquid. A thermostat-controlled system allows for constant heating within the desired temperature range.

This system is safer, more portable, and more energy-efficient than traditional immersion heaters. Furthermore, because it doesn't come into contact with the inner surface of the barrel, the risk of liquid contamination is eliminated.

Technical Specifications

EHT Engineering's jacket-type barrel heaters meet high quality standards:

Feature Explanation
Compatible barrel volume 200 liters (custom sizes available upon request)
Power output Between 1000 W and 1500 W

This structure ensures both the electrical safety and long-term use of the system.

Application Areas

Jacket-type barrel heaters can be used in a wide variety of sectors:

  • Chemical and petrochemical plants
  • Food production areas (honey, glucose, oil, etc.)
  • Paint and coating facilities
  • Pharmaceutical and medical production
  • Cosmetics and personal care products
  • Automotive and textile chemicals
  • Laboratories and R&D centers

These systems can be used in both stationary production lines and mobile applications. They can be easily disassembled and reassembled into another barrel if needed.

Energy Efficiency and Temperature Control

EHT Engineering's jacket-type barrel heaters save energy by only activating when needed. Thanks to thermostat and sensor integration:

  • Unnecessary energy consumption is prevented
  • The temperature is kept constant
  • System life is extended
  • Operating costs decrease
  • Environmental sustainability is ensured

Optionally, full automation can be achieved with timer systems and mobile application integration.

Ease of Installation and Use

Jacket-type barrel heaters offer quick and easy installation thanks to their user-friendly design:

  • It can be easily attached to the barrel with a Velcro or strap fastening system.
  • Electrical connection can be made with a standard socket
  • Temperature adjustment can be made via the thermostat
  • It can be easily removed after use and attached to another barrel.
  • Cleaning and maintenance procedures are quite simple

These features provide great advantages, especially in frequently changing production environments.

Material Quality and Safety

The jacket-type barrel heaters we use:

  • High temperature resistant
  • Protected against water, steam and moisture
  • Resistant to mechanical impacts
  • Resistant to chemical effects
  • Provides safe use with residual current relay

Thanks to these features, our systems operate smoothly even in the harshest industrial conditions.
