Tanks Direct Silicone Side Drum Heaters 0-120° C - Eco, Performance & Digital Ranges
Efficient, reliable, and controlled heating for industrial steel drums.
The Tanks Direct silicone side drum heater range provides a versatile, high-quality solution for heating products stored in steel drums. Designed and manufactured with industrial performance, safety, and reliability in mind, the Silicone side drum heater range offers three distinct heating solutions: Eco, Performance, and Digital.
Whether you need gentle, energy-conscious temperature maintenance, powerful heating to reduce product viscosity, or accurate digital temperature regulation, there is a heater to suit your process.
Using flexible silicone and glass-fibre construction with advanced PFA-coated resistance wire technology, the heaters deliver consistent, evenly distributed heat directly to the drum wall. This helps reduce product viscosity, making it difficult-to-handle materials easier to pump, pour, dispense, or process.
Suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, the Tanks Direct Silicone Side Drum Heater range combines durable construction, straightforward installation, and dependable temperature control in a compact, flexible design.
Can be combined with:
• Base heater.
Ideal for heating up:
• Water.
• Oils and diesel fuel.
• Resin.
• Vaseline.
• Wax, e.g. lanolin (wool wax or wool grease).
• Fats.
• Butters, e.g. Ghee.

Looking to avoid shipping charges?
All our tanks are available for collection ex works. Our suppliers are based all over the UK — please call if you wish to collect.
Overseas orders
International orders are welcome. Payment is by IBAN / SWIFT / BIC, MoneyGram and letters of credit. We regret that credit cards are not accepted for international orders.
A purchase order is required; we will then create a pro-forma invoice, and tanks are ordered on clearance of funds.
If you require additional export documentation — for example a Certificate of Origin, or commercial invoices certified by the Chamber of Commerce — you must notify us before completion of your order, as we will have to invoice cost and admin charges to the order.
