OMEGALUX 
laminated heavy duty drum Heaters 
are electrical resistance heaters in 
blanket form. They are designed to 
provide a practical efficient means of 
freeze protection, viscosity control, 
melting of solids and maintaining 
materials at elevated temperatures.
OMEGALUX heavy duty drum 
heaters are totally integrated heating 
systems consisting of a durable, 
multi-strand nickel-chromium 
heating element insulated with two 
applications of high temperature 
fiberglass yarn and knitted into tape 
form. These tapes are laminated 
between multiple layers of silicone 
SHDH Series
®
 silicone rubber 
impregnated fiberglass cloth and a 
dense grounding grid of tinned copper 
wire. This thin line design enables 
use of the standard drum and cradle 
without any modifications to either. It 
is thin enough to fit between the drum 
and its cradle, a problem commonly 
encountered with other drum heaters.
The optional OMEGALUX thermostatic 
control combined with the low watt 
density serpentine heating element 
ensures even heat distribution across 
the entire inner surface of the drum 
heater and provides a positive 
prevention from hot spots and 
overheating sensitive products.
