LEWCO, Inc. Manufactures Unique Drum Heating Cabinet

(December 12, 2007, Sandusky, Ohio) - LEWCO, Inc. recently designed and manufactured a unique drum heating cabinet for the storage and melting of polyesters, to address the needs of an international manufacturer of high quality coatings for leather, flexible and non-flexible substrates, textiles and related products. The cabinet can accommodate a total of 48 standard 55-gallon drums.

The cabinet was designed with two independent chambers holding 24 drums on three levels. Each chamber can be operated in steam heat mode, electric heat mode, or steam heat supplemented by electric heat. A seven day timer is used to switch between heat modes, for example work-week versus weekend modes.

The design employs a top heater box with a high volume blower and integral ductwork to circulate air over both electric heater banks and a steam coil. The individual systems are complete with control valves, steam traps and strainers, and dual control panels. The internal size of each chamber is 114" wide x 47" high on all 3 levels x 55" deep. The maximum temperature required was 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

LEWCO, Inc. drum heating cabinets, and all LEWCO Process Heating and Material Handling Equipment, are manufactured under an ISO 9001:2000 Registered Quality Management System.
