The ATEX drum heater is specifically designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and meets the highest safety standards for operation in ATEX zones 1, 2, 21, and 22.

Thanks to the self-regulating heating technology—which reduces energy consumption as temperature rises and ensures safe, even heating—the LB series requires no external temperature controller. This simplifies installation, significantly lowers system costs, and delivers a true plug-and-play solution. It is ideally suited for safely heating drums containing chemicals, oils, or other sensitive substances. With protection class IP65, the heater offers excellent resistance to dust and water, making it especially suitable for challenging industrial environments.

The ATEX-certified connection box enhances durability and allows for easy cable replacement—offering added reliability and user convenience. The design features antistatic, water-repellent PVC fabric and robust tension straps for safety and practical use.

Typical applications include frost protection, temperature maintenance in chemical processes, and the safe heating of volatile substances. Whether in industrial production or storage, the LB series ATEX drum heater delivers outstanding performance and maximum safety.
