Drum Heater - Type HBD Base Drum Heaters
The HBD base drum heaters are manufactured with a 900W silicone rubber insulated heater mat which provides an even distribution of heat to the platen. If rapid heat up is required and the contents will accept heat rapidly, or solid medium are involved a HISD side drum heater can be used in conjunction with the HBD drum heater. Alternatively a thermally insulated drum heater jacket can be used.
The HBD drum heater is made from 2mm thick mild steel for extra rigidity on uneven surfaces with tapered edges for safe ease of drum location. The drum heater is protected by a resilient high temperature coating. Temperature adjustment of the base drum heater is afforded by a front aperture in the control unit, with neon’s indicating power on and load switching, all viewed through a window in the control unit top. The base drum heater is controlled by a 20° to 150°C capillary thermostat.
