We are extremely satisfied with the switch to Powerblanket drum heaters. Powerblanket’s unique technology allows our containers of coatings and materials to be heated evenly and quickly, opposed to band heaters, which concentrate heat in one spot and have charred our product, sometimes contaminating the entire container and rendering it unusable. Their barrel heaters protect the entire container from ambient conditions, thus maintaining optimal operating temperature. In fact, our customers successfully operate in the extreme cold conditions of North Dakota in uninsulated trailers thanks to Powerblanket drum blankets. They use considerably less power than band heaters, have temperature control capability, and are a top quality product.
