General Description And Construction:
The Glenn wrap around drum heater makes viscous materials flow in cold
temperature and permits a quick material transfer. The Glenn drum heater is instantly
installed with the flip of a wrist - designed with durable springloaded clamps to provide
high clamping pressure, while flexible enough for one man to attach and remove. . .
adjustable for normal drum dimension variation. Multiple heater may be applied to a single
drum for quicker or unusual heating requirements. Heaters are constructed of aluminum
coated steel throughout.
The infinite switch control varies the On-time of the heater from nominal low input of
5-1/2% up to 100% (high). In high position, heater is on continuously. Infinite switch is
not available on heaters over 3 KW.
Typical Applications
The unit is designed to make quick transfer of such viscous materials as tar, adhesive, asphalt, chocolate, molasses, paraffin, tallow, etc. from standard 55 gallon steel containers.
Operating Features
The face of the heater is low in wattage concentration to reduce "Coking" or burning of contents of the drum.. Note that several watt densities are available. If in doubt, check with your material supplier or our engineering department. Unless otherwise noted, heaters are supplied with a 6 foot heavy duty rubber insulated cable. Models with infinite switches are equipped with a molded NEMA 5-15P or 6-15P plug.
