Sahara Hot Box Steam Powered Drum Heaters come in a wide variety of sizes. From single drum heaters, to oven style drum heaters with the ability to heat from 1 single drum, all the way up to 32 (55 gallon) drums. It should also be noted that our stationary drum ovens can also be used to heat the totes mentioned above.

Totes are fast becoming a replacement for 55 gallon drums. Whereas 4 (55 gallon) drums can fit on a standard pallet or skid, that same pallet can also hold 1 tote. The difference? 55 gallons! 4 (55 gallon) drums can hold up to 220 gallons. 1 standard tote can hold as much as 275 gallons. One can easily see how the additional 55 gallons can quickly add up. Nevertheless, whether you need to heat the contents of a 55 gallon drum or the contents of a tote, Benko Products has the drum heater (or tote heater) for you.
