Drums

Description

Choosing the Right Steel Drum for Your Product

Option A: The Closed Top Steel Drums (Tight Head)

Best For: Low-viscosity liquids (Water, Oils, Juices, Thin Syrups, Solvents).

The Design: The top is permanently welded to the body. Access is only through two “bung” openings (2″ and 3/4″).

The Benefit: Maximum structural integrity. Because there is no removable lid, there is zero risk of the lid popping off, evaporation or spillage during transport. It is the safest option for transporting hazardous liquids.

Fittings: Comes with standard NPT bung fittings for easy pump or spigot installation.

Option B: The Open Top Steel Drums (Removable Lid)

Best For: Solids, Pastes, Powders, High-Viscosity Liquids (Honey, Glazes), or Mixing applications.

 The Design: The entire lid can be removed. It is secured by a heavy-duty Bolt Ring and gasket.

The Benefit: Full access to the interior. You can insert mixers/agitators, scoop out thick products like tomato paste, or easily clean the drum for reuse.

Dual-Rating: Unlike standard drums, our Open Top version is UN-Rated for both Liquids and Solids, offering maximum versatility.

Why Buy Our Industrial Drums?

Certified Food Safe: The inner lining (buff/cream colour) creates a barrier between the steel and your product. Ideal for human consumption products like juices, petroleum, honey, vegetable oils, and fruit concentrates.

 Export Ready: These drums meet international shipping standards (UN Rated). If you are exporting to Europe or Asia, these drums will pass port inspections.

 Leak-Proof Security:

   * Closed Top: Features gasketed bungs to prevent evaporation or spillage during transport on rough roads.

   * Open Top: Comes with a strong lever-lock or bolt-ring clamp that seals tight, even if the drum is tipped.

 Heavy Gauge Steel: Built tough to withstand stacking in the godown or heavy handling by loaders.

Rust Protection: Exterior painted in standard industrial black/blue; interior fully lined to prevent corrosion.
