Powerblanket’s 1-gallon bucket heaters provide a range of heating solutions for warming and storing temperature-sensitive materials. Our patented design eliminates hot and cold spots by applying uniform, full-coverage heat across the entire surface of the container. This ensures materials stay at the proper viscosity and maintain specified thermal levels. Whether you’re looking for a bucket water heater or a pail heater, our solutions are built to meet your needs efficiently. Each heater is available with either an adjustable or fixed thermostat, giving you precise control over the heating process. With options like models featuring temperature control and thermostatic regulation, you can trust these heaters for consistent, reliable performance.

Thermal Class Rating

1- and 2-gallon bucket heaters come in two voltages: 120 volts and 240 volts. Choose between four different thermal rating classes:
    • Powerblanket Lite – designed for light residential and industrial applications, low power density.
    • Powerblanket – designed for any definitive heating applications, surrounded by a rugged vinyl shell, safe to use in temperatures as low as -20 °F.
    • Powerblanket Xtreme – designed for harsh climates, safe to use in temperatures as low as -58°F.
    • WarmGuard – designed to prevent freezing and maintain usable temperatures with a preset thermostat (approx. 145 °F ±10 °F); built with durable, insulated full-wrap coverage for uniform heat and rugged performance similar to the Xtreme line.

All bucket heaters feature an insulated full-wrap design with cinch straps for a secure fit. They’re water-resistant and compatible with both poly and steel buckets. All Powerblanket products are ETL certified to UL, CSA, and CE safety standards.
