Industrial drums are large, industrial containers that
serve as storage and shipping containers for a variety of hazardous and
non-hazardous substances, including beverages, chemicals, petroleum and
paint. Generally, these cylindrical industrial containers are used for
the storage of liquids. Industrial storage drums are available in a variety
of different materials, but the most common types are steel
drums, plastic
drums and fibre
drums. These materials are particularly advantageous
because they can be reconditioned for future use. The selection of a
material depends upon the industrial application for which the drum will
be used, as well as specific customer requirements.
Steel drums are most often used for situations in which flammable chemicals
and other hazardous substances need to be handled. Plastic
drums are
used to transport powders and many other substances that can be handled
by steel industrial drums. Plastic drums are becoming increasingly standard because
of their ability to be recycled for future use. Plastic drums also are
preferable because they do not rust when they are exposed to
the elements. Fiber drums are made from dense paper or fiber board. They are usually only used for a short time. Compared to other industrial
drums, such as plastic drums and steel
drums, fiber
drums are more easily
recycled. Fiber drums are commonly used in the food industry to transport
large volumes of frozen or refrigerated goods, such as ice cream and
cheese.
Industrial drum manufacturers make their products in a variety of sizes. The standard industry
size is 55 gallons
drums, but steel drum, plastic drum, fiber drum sizes can range from five gallons to 110
gallons drums. For larger volumes of substances, intermediate
bulk containers are used. In addition to stock sizes, industrial drum manufacturers create custom
sizes to fulfill specific customer requests. Special linings and surface
coatings are available for both the interior and exterior of the steel drums,
plastic drums, and fiber drums.
For steel drums, the interior and exterior are often painted to prevent
erosion and rust. Plastic drums may
have a thin plastic film bonded to the interior to prevent leakage and
ensure freshness of food products. The larger units require special handling
and transportation equipment, such as trolleys, hoists and belts to prevent
them from tipping and spilling their contents.
Common industries in which steel drums, plastic drums, and fiber drums
are found include the oil and gas, food and beverage processing, agricultural,
automotive and pharmaceutical industries. Because many industries store
and ship chemicals, pesticides and other hazardous materials, industrial
drum manufacturers must adhere to the strict production and shipment
standards of organizations like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department
of Transportation (DOT).
55 gallon drums are the standard-sized drums used for storage and shipping.
Agitator drums
are used for the mixing and combining of substances, such as paint and
concrete. They have an opening in the cover for the entrance of the
blades of an agitator, which mixes the substance, and are made most
often with metal alloys, such as steel or aluminum.
Closed head drums,
also called "tight head drums," have a permanent lid with
a small opening to allow for the pouring out of the material enclosed.
Fibre drums are shipping and storage containers made of heavy paperboard materials.
Open head drums
often use removable heads, as opposed to closed head drums.
Plastic drums are rust-proof alternatives to steel drums.
Reconditioned drums
are plastic or steel vessels that have been reconditioned to ensure
optimum repeat use. Most often, the lid of the drum is what is replaced
or reconditioned.
Salvage drums
are specifically designed for the safe and economic transport and storage
of damaged drums. In the unusual event that a steel drum leaks, possibly
due to extreme mechanical loading or impact, temporary solutions, such
as salvage drums, may be required.
Seamless drums
have a smooth, creaseless interior that prevents the unintended trapping
of the material being stored. Seamless drums are similar to process
drums, which have a welded top curl to prevent entrapment, as well.
Steel Barrels are closed-top drums used to ship and store liquids.
