Adjustable Thermostat for Honey Processing

The ULINE Heavy Duty Drum Band Heater features an adjustable thermostat, giving you greater control over the heat applied to your honey drum.

Honey can naturally crystallize during storage, especially when kept at cooler temperatures.

Applying gentle, controlled warmth can help soften crystallized honey and improve its flow for transferring, filtering, and bottling.

The adjustable thermostat allows you to select a heating setting appropriate for your processing requirements.

Honey Processing Tip: Use the lowest practical temperature and monitor the honey temperature with a separate thermometer. Excessive heat or prolonged heating can affect honey quality.

Three Wattage Settings – Full, Half & Quarter Power

One of the useful features of this drum heater is its selection of three wattage settings.

Choose from:

• Full Power: Higher heat output when additional warming is required.

• Half Power: Reduced heat output for more gradual warming.

• Quarter Power: Lower heat output when gentler heating is preferred.

These settings provide flexibility when working with honey at different starting temperatures and consistencies.

The appropriate setting will depend on your drum, honey volume, ambient conditions, and processing needs.

Durable Aluminized Steel Construction

Built for demanding applications, the ULINE Heavy Duty Drum Band Heater features aluminized steel construction.

This material is designed to resist corrosion and withstand repeated use in suitable indoor environments.

Its heavy-duty design makes it a practical option for beekeepers and honey producers who regularly process honey stored in steel drums.

Helps Improve Honey Flow During Processing

Honey can become thick or crystallized during storage, making it more difficult to transfer or bottle.

A drum band heater applies heat around the outside of a compatible steel drum, helping warm the honey inside.

This can make honey easier to:

• Transfer from drums into smaller containers

• Pump through suitable honey processing equipment

• Prepare for filtering or straining

• Handle during bottling operations

• Warm when crystallization has occurred

Please Note: Warming time and temperature uniformity will vary. A drum band heater heats the drum wall, so the temperature of the honey may differ between the outside and centre of the drum. Monitor the honey carefully and use appropriate mixing or circulation methods where necessary.
