Description

Powerblanket’s 15-gallon drum heaters offer a wide range of heating solutions for warming and storing temperature-sensitive materials. The patented design of our drum band heater eliminates hot and cold spots by applying uniform, full-coverage heat across the entire surface of the container. This allows users to maintain proper viscosity for materials such as grease, oil, or water, all while keeping temperatures within the desired thermal levels. Each heater for 15-gallon drums can be equipped with either an adjustable or a fixed thermostat tailored to your specific application needs.

Thermal Rating Class

15-gallon drum heaters come in two voltages: 120 volts and 240 volts. Choose between three different thermal rating classes:

  • Powerblanket Lite – designed for light residential and industrial applications, low power density
  • Powerblanket – designed for any definitive heating applications, surrounded by a rugged vinyl shell, safe to use in temperatures as low as -20 F
  • Powerblanket Xtreme – designed for harsh climates, safe to use in temperatures as low as -40 F

All 15-gallon drum heaters come with an insulated full-wrap design, secured by cinch straps for a tight fit, ensuring efficient heating without heat loss. Our water-resistant heaters are suitable for use with 15-gallon steel drums, 15-gallon metal barrels, plastic barrels, and more.

    Best grease keg heater money can buy.
    Best grease keg heater money can buy. Plugged it in, walked away, and this crazy little Powerblanket heated up the barrel in record time.

  2. –

    Five stars!!!
    Five stars!!! This 15 gallon drum heating blanket works great for heating my drums of coconut oil. Great price for this drum heater.

  3. –

    Works well for warming my oil drums
    Works well for warming my oil drums and keeping the oil at ideal viscosity.

  4. –

    Definitely keeps liquids from freezing
    This has a sturdy plastic like exterior that wraps around a drum and straps in place. It does a great job of heating livestock water barrels in very cold temps in OK. No icing over at all. Lasted 2 months so far before it warmed enough where they weren’t needed. Saved a lot of worry when we went out of time.

    Even Precise Heating
    “Powerblankets are a great way to heat precisely what you need to heat without worry of uneven, intermittent, overheating or inefficient power use.

    I find them to be job site tough, durable and field repairable with the Vinyl repair kit utilizing the HH-66 glue. They are heavy duty and can take a lot of abuse. The machine sewn stitching is very heavy duty. The belts, clasps and reinforcing are securely attached to the blankets. They can take a lot of use.

    The thing I notice the most is how even the heat is across the entire mat. Whatever you wrap or cover with it you can count on an even heat spread. If you add a temperature controller like the Beacon controllers with which Powerblankets has teamed up with, you can precisely dial in the temperature control . I like how you can measure the temperature at several points. Inside the blanket, the surface of the blanket or the temp of the product.”

    Perfect
    I looked for a warming blanket to use on foam canisters. We have 17 gal cylinder tanks that need to be kept at 85 to 95 degrees. While there was no product offered for the specification of the tank the BH15PRO fit out tank perfectly. The unit comes with a digital thermal controlling unit with upper and lower set values. This allows us to adjust the unit to maintain an even tank temperature compensating for the variable ambient temperature. The 2 units we purchased has exceeded our expectations.

PBL15: The PBL15 is an insulated band-style drum heater specifically designed to fit a 15 gallon drum. The heater is built for use with 120 volts AC, drawing 1.5 amps thus producing 180 watts. It has a preset thermostat set to maintain a maximum temperature up to 145 ºF / 63 ºC (± 10º F/5º C). One band on the drum will usually run cooler than 145 °F because it only covers part of the barrel. Placing a second PBL15 further up the drum, above the first band, will generally decrease the time to heat and increase the maximum temperature your product reaches. Sometimes one is good enough, other times you might want to use two depending on your application. The PBL15 insulated band style drum heaters allow you to safely control the temperature of expensive chemicals and other fluids; it delivers a barrier of directional heat where it’s needed most – preventing fluids from freezing and maintaining optimal temperatures. This innovative heat-spreading technology insulates, protects and maintains heat in a wide variety of applications.
  • Adjustable from ambient to 145 ºF on PRO models
  • Hassle free, preset internal 100 °F temperature on RR Rapid Ramp models
  • Water resistant and safe for both steel & poly drums
  • Insulated full-wrap design and cinch straps to secure tight fit
  • Pro model has three individual heat zones and automatically adjusts to varying fluid levels
  • Safe for outdoor use
  • All models are certified by ETL to UL & CSA safety standards
