Full Coverage Drum Heaters (FGDH/FGPDH/FGDDC)
$920.00
SKU:FGPDHC30120DV
BriskHeat full-coverage drum heaters provide a highly efficient, all-in-one heating and insulation solution engineered to wrap completely around industrial containers. By combining high-performance heating elements with a built-in thermal insulation blanket, this system significantly accelerates heat-up times and maximizes energy efficiency by keeping heat directed entirely into the vessel. This rugged, wrap-around system is ideal for a wide range of industrial applications, including viscosity control, freeze protection, process temperature maintenance, melting of solids, and thermal mixing.
- Precise Digital Control: Equipped with an easy-to-program digital temperature controller, adjustable up to 160°F (71°C) for poly/plastic containers or up to 450°F (232°C) for metal drums.
- Maximum Operational Safety: Features a fully grounded, patented 360° heating element architecture that meets National Electrical Code (NEC) 427.23 standards for safe industrial deployment.
- Industrial-Grade Construction: Designed with a 1.0 in (25 mm) thick high-density fiberglass insulation layer enclosed in a durable, moisture- and chemical-resistant outer cloth shell.
-
Available Sizes: Models tailored to securely fit standard 5, 16, 30, and 55-gallon industrial drums and pails.

Catalog/Specifications Sheet
Instruction Manuals
Q: What types of container heaters are available?
A: Common container heater types include:
- Full coverage drum heaters
- Full-coverage IBC tote tank heaters
- Pail heaters
- Silicone drum and pail heaters
Q: What are container heaters used for?
A: Container heaters are commonly used to:
- Viscosity control
- Maintain process temperatures
- Protect temperature-sensitive products during storage
Q: How do container heaters improve viscosity control?
A: Heating materials to their recommended temperatures can lower viscosity, making liquids easier to pump, mix, transfer, and dispense while improving process efficiency.
Q: Can container heaters be used for hazardous locations?
A: Our ATEX Drum, Tote, and Gas Cylinder container heaters are designed and certified for hazardous locations. It is always important to verify approvals and certifications before installation in hazardous environments.
Q: Can container heaters prevent materials from freezing?
A: Yes. Container heaters are commonly used to maintain temperatures above freezing, helping protect materials from solidification, crystallization, or freeze damage during storage and use.
Q: How do I properly store my drum & tote heater?
A: We suggest that you lay your drum heater on a flat surface when not in use.
Q: What lengths and widths do tote tank heaters fit?
A: Any footprint between 40” x 40” (1016mm x 1016mm) and 48” x 48” (1219mm x 1219mm).
Q: Are there safety features for tote tank heaters like high-limit thermostats?
A: Yes, the wrap-arounds have built-in 195°F (91°C) manual reset high-limit thermostats and are grounded.
Q: Do cylinder warmers have adjustable built-in controllers?
A: No, the heaters are designed to keep the cylinders warm and temperatures will vary depending on environmental conditions. GCW and HCW heaters are built with self-regulating heat trace meaning they automatically adjust temperature depending on application and ambient conditions.
Q: Are cylinder warmers plug-and-play?
A: The 120V GCW models include a plug, but other models have ferrule-crimped leads.
