Python Sleeves + Covers, a brand of Suburban Manufacturing Group, has introduced the Sidewinder fixed-temperature drum heater. The new product offers a plug-and-play option for maintaining consistent material temperatures throughout the year, including during colder seasons.

In industrial settings, maintaining raw materials at the correct temperature is important for consistent operations. The Sidewinder fixed temperature drum heater, originally developed for the spray foam industry, is suitable for a variety of applications. It provides steady temperature control, helping protect materials and reduce the need for frequent monitoring.

The heater is offered in two fixed temperature settings, 80°F and 100°F, allowing users to choose the option that matches their process requirements. In addition, the product can be custom branded with customer logos, offering companies the ability to align the drum heaters with their brand identity.

The new fixed temp drum heater complements Python’s existing adjustable drum heater with a controller, giving customers flexibility to choose between precise temperature control or fixed-temperature convenience depending on their application needs and personal preference.

Key features

  • Heating element available in 80°F or 100°F
  • High-density polyethylene foam with proprietary coated nylon
  • Lightweight, flexible, and compact design
  • Three tightening buckles for installation and a smaller buckle for storage

Benefits

  • Plug-and-play performance: eliminates the need for continuous monitoring
  • Light and compact: easy to install, remove, and store
  • Reliable protection: insulation and weather-resistant coating safeguard contents against fluctuating ambient conditions
  • Secure fit: designed to snugly wrap a 55-gallon drum—metal or plastic—for consistent and even heating

“The new Sidewinder Fixed Temp Drum Heater delivers the same ease of use our customers expect, while adding the reliability of set temperature control,” said Mike May, group product manager at Suburban Manufacturing Group. “We developed this product to give operators peace of mind, knowing their materials will be properly maintained even in the most challenging environments.”
