A steam heated drum oven warms drums of viscous or solidified material, such as wax, resin, fats, honey, oils and chemicals, so they can be poured or pumped easily. Steam heating uses no electrical heater elements inside the chamber, which makes it a safer choice for many chemical plants.
MV International steam heated drum ovens connect to your existing boiler through finned steam coils, control valves and steam traps. Capacities range from 1 to 16 drums, and IBC/tote versions are also available.

How the Steam Heated Drum Oven Works
Steam flows through finned coils in a plenum, and a fan circulates air over the coils and around the drums. A temperature sensor controls the steam valve to hold the set point, and condensate returns through steam traps.

Steam Heated Drum Oven FAQs
Why choose steam over electric heating for drum ovens?
If your plant already has a boiler, steam is often cheaper per kWh. Because there are no electric heaters in the air stream, it also suits many hazardous-area needs.
How many drums can the oven hold?
Standard sizes hold 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 drums. Larger rooms and IBC versions are built to order.
What temperature can a steam drum oven reach?
It depends on steam pressure. Typically air temperatures of 80-150°C are achieved. See also our drum heating oven.
What is the price of a Steam Heated Drum Oven?
The price of a steam heated drum oven depends on chamber size, maximum temperature, heating media (electric, gas, diesel or steam), material of construction and the control system. Share your load details, process temperature and cycle time, and MV International will send a detailed quotation, usually within 24 hours.
Do you export the Steam Heated Drum Oven outside India?
Yes. MV International is an experienced steam heated drum oven exporter. We ship to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Africa, South-East Asia, Europe and the Americas, with voltage and frequency matched to your country and seaworthy export packing.
