Drum Heaters – Rigid Drum Heater Enclosure IDR/200L/230V & 400V
RIGID DRUM HEATER ENCLOSURE | THERMOCOAX Drum Heater
Product Code: IDR / IDBR
The Rigid Drum Heating Enclosure IDR/200L/230V & 400V is a purpose-built industrial heating solution engineered to provide consistent, controlled temperature regulation for 200 litre steel and plastic drums. Designed and manufactured by Thermocoax Isopad, this robust enclosure uses full-surface electric heating elements to deliver reliable medium-temperature heat for process, maintenance and viscosity management applications. Its rugged construction and versatile power options make it suitable for demanding industrial environments where safe, efficient drum heat-up and temperature control are essential.

The IDR/200L enclosure features a durable two-piece metal housing that opens easily around a standard 200 litre drum, eliminating the need for overhead lifting and simplifying installation and removal. Heavy-duty castors ensure smooth mobility across workshop or warehouse floors, while the full inner heating surface and insulation minimise heat loss and provide uniform temperature distribution around the drum exterior. A mechanical thermostat with a broad control range maintains stable performance across ambient conditions from –20 °C to +40 °C, giving users precise control of process temperatures.
Ideal for industries where controlled heat is critical, the IDR/200L enclosure supports a wide range of applications including viscosity reduction, temperature maintenance and frost protection for stored liquids and semi-solids. Its compatibility with both 230 V single-phase and 400 V three-phase power supplies adds installation flexibility for diverse industrial facilities. Optional accessories such as insulated lids and base heaters can be integrated to further enhance thermal performance and minimise heat loss, making the system adaptable to specific process requirements.
