Adjustable Thermostat Temperature Ranges

The WRAP-IT-HEAT TRX-55 Drum Heater is available with two thermostat range options.

Low-Temperature Thermostat

60°F to 250°F (approximately 16°C to 121°C)

Provides adjustable temperature control for compatible materials requiring a lower thermostat setting range.

High-Temperature Thermostat

200°F to 400°F (approximately 93°C to 204°C)

Designed for compatible industrial applications requiring a higher thermostat setting range.

Important: These figures describe the thermostat setting ranges, not guaranteed drum contents temperatures. Actual heating performance depends on the material, drum, ambient conditions, and heat transfer characteristics.

Three-Position Heat Selection Switch

The TRX-55 features a three-position heat switch, allowing the operator to adjust the power output.

This provides flexibility when working with materials that have different heating requirements.

Power Output by Voltage

Power figures for MEDIUM and LOW are calculated from the manufacturer's stated fractions of maximum wattage.

Designed for Standard 55-Gallon Metal Drums

The WRAP-IT-HEAT TRX-55 is designed to fit standard 55-gallon all-metal drums.

Its spring-loaded toggle clamp helps secure the heater around the drum for effective contact with the metal surface.

The heater is intended for materials with good heat receptivity, allowing heat to transfer through the metal drum wall into the contents.

Do not use this heater on plastic drums, plastic-lined drums, fibre drums, or incompatible containers.
