ATEX Full-Coverage Drum Heater (WEX)
$0.00
SKU:WEXHD200-230ZE800-0210BHT3-RFQ
BriskHeat ATEX-approved full-coverage drum heaters are designed to provide even heat distribution and maximum energy efficiency in explosive environments. With their robust construction and fully insulated design, these heaters are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, and are fully grounded for increased safety. While suitable for use on steel or plastic drums and IBCs, these heaters require a separate ATEX-certified temperature controller for operation.
- Maximum Temperature: Up to 392°F (200°C)
- Internal Sensors: 2 built-in PT100 RTD sensors for independent monitoring of process temperature and high-limit safety cutoffs
- Ingress Protection: IP65 rated (highly resistant to dust and moisture)

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.
