Cooling Drums

Cooling drums are huge cylindrical devices that remove heat from materials or various industrial processes. This structure consists of a rotating drum cooled with water, air or other cooling agents. These drums reduce the temperature of materials to prevent overheating and maintain optimal operating conditions.

Cooling Drum Uses

A drum cooling system has plenty of uses in a wide range of industries. These include:

  • Temperature control: Cooling drums help maintain temperature, especially in manufacturing processes where the temperature has to be specific to ensure product quality.
  • Cooling hot materials: Cooling drums quickly and efficiently dissipate high temperatures for materials that undergo extreme heat during roasting, drying and extrusion processes.
  • Heat recovery: Cooling drums can help recover heat from materials, which can be reused in other stages of the industrial or manufacturing process.
  • Waste heat management: A drum cooler can manage heat generated by waste during the industrial process. This ability also keeps equipment within safe operating conditions.
  • Condensation processes: Cooling drums regulate temperature during condensation processes. When they reduce temperature, they help facilitate phase changes, like in chemical production.

Industrial Applications of Cooling Drums

Cooling drums are versatile devices essential in heat management across various industries. Some sectors benefiting from their uses are:

Best Practices at BEPeterson

We utilize cutting-edge technologies and best practices to ensure the high quality of our products and increase application efficiency. Regardless of your industry, our products will be an invaluable asset to your organization.

All BEPeterson fabrication projects, including cooling drums, meet applicable codes and standards — ASME, PED and CRN. As a trusted manufacturer of engineered solutions, we deliver products on time and in compliance with ISO 9001 quality standards.

BEPeterson produces our cooling drums using modern welding equipment and advanced techniques. All fabrication projects are completed in our ISO 9001:2015-certified facility, equipped with cutting-edge technology.

We use TIG, MIG, SAW, SMAW, FCAW and various wires and fluxes to meet sophisticated weld procedures. We have qualified ASME welders and extensive radiographic capability to support all ASME Section VIII code construction types. A weld-engineering group of multiple certified and in-process weld inspectors supports our welding capability.

Every metal fabrication project is fully documented and inspected by authorized inspectors. Our products undergo rigorous testing and inspection, including:

  • Hydrotest
  • Radiography
  • He leak testing
  • PMI (Positive Material Identification)
  • NDE – PT, MT, UT
  • Dimensional – Fero Arm
  • Ferrite testing
  • Impact testing

BEPeterson provides full documentation, material test certificates, RT and hydro test reports before shipment. We also provide CE and CRN certification upon the customer’s request.
