PowerblanketBH15-RR 15 Gallon Drum Heater

Great price.

Hardly produces any heat in 55 degree weather.Only produces heat in certain spots while it remains cold in others. Stays plugged in overnight

Powerblankets are a great way to heat precisely what you need to heat without worry of uneven, intermittent, overheating or inefficient power use.I find them to be job site tough, durable and field repairable with the Vinyl repair kit utilizing the HH-66 glue. They are heavy duty and can take a lot of abuse. The machine sewn stitching is very heavy duty. The belts, clasps and reinforcing are securely attached to the blankets. They can take a lot of use.The thing I notice the most is how even the heat is across the entire mat. Whatever you wrap or cover with it you can count on an even heat spread. If you add a temperature controller like the Beacon controllers with which Powerblankets has teamed up with, you can precisely dial in the temperature control . I like how you can measure the temperature at several points. Inside the blanket, the surface of the blanket or the temp of the product. Beacon even has an IOT connected controller than you can control and monitor remotely.These blankets are pretty easy to handle. They not only heat but also insulate so they have some thickness to them. However they are still relatively lightweight for their size. They are somewhat rigid and that makes them easier to handle. It is kind of like working with lightweight workout mats.Unlike some other materials they remain flexible in very cold environments. Even the cords remain flexible down to colder temperatures.Made in the USA. Yep. Designed, engineered and manufactured right here at home. ETL and UL/CAS listed. They have an average lifespan of constant use in around the 4-6 year timeframe. 1 Year Warranty.This 15 Gallon version is preset to 100 F and uses a nominal 160W / 320W 1.33A / 2.67A and features Rapid Ramp. It weighs about 7 lbs.

This has a sturdy plastic like exterior that wraps around a drum and straps in place. It does a great job of heating livestock water barrels in very cold temps in OK. No icing over at all. Lasted 2 months so far before it warmed enough where they weren’t needed. Saved a lot of worry when we went out of time.

WORKED GREAT FOR WHAT WE NEEDED

excellent quality and works great
