Base Drum Heater - HBD Manufactured from 2mm thick mild steel for extra rigidity on uneven surfaces and with tapered edges for safe drum location the base drum heater is designed for use in the toughest of industrial environments. The product supplies heat through an etched foil silicone heating element bonded under the platen area. Used for similar purposes to (and sometimes in conjunction with) the HSSD/D, the Base Drum Heater offers uniform heating across the base of a drum ensuring the product is evenly heated to temperatures up to 150C and is designed to melt or reduce the viscosity of soaps, fats, waxes, varnishes and oil based solutions. The HBD can be combined with a number of other products to maximise overall heating performance.
