Specifications
The 19W5HE is an energy efficient drum heater blanket with an adjustable thermostat for 55 gallon drums. This drum heater blanket wraps around the entire barrel and its adjustable straps ensure that the blanket can fit both smaller and larger 55 gallon barrels. The 19W5HE operates on 120 volts, delivering up to 800 watts of heating power. The built in, adjustable thermostat helps prevent overheating or under heating barrel contents. The 19W5HE automatically adjusts to varying fluid levels and has three individual heating zones that spread heat evenly. Drum heaters are a convenient and effective option for applications such as barrel warming, food warming, gas or oil heating, paint warming, and for heating drums that may contain products with storage temperature requirements.

Powerblanket® has changed the conventional method of transferring heat to drums or barrels. This revolutionary design provides uniform heat to the entire surface of the drum, eliminating hot and cold spots.

Powerblanket® products provide a maintenance free heating solution, which eliminates the headache of maintaining critical temperatures. If stored properly, chemicals and industrial products will last longer and be more effective. In turn, this saves time, hassle, and money.

I have not personally used any of the products I've ordered from "Cary", but the personnel that I purchased the products for, have told me the products work exactly the way our company hoped they would.
