If you’re looking for secure high-volume packaging, industrial drums like this 55-Gallon Unlined Steel Open Head Drum are the solution for you. Though plastic industrial drums are a popular selection, the benefits of using a steel drum may offer a better fit to your packaging strategy. In comparison, steel is more durable than plastic, making it well-suited for denser and more heavy-duty products. This added strength can assure that your product will remain safe, whether in storage or transit.
Besides its steel construction, the 55-Gallon unlined steel drum comes in an open head style. This design is especially beneficial if your packaging strategy requires easy access to materials. The 82917 comes equipped with a matching white cover so you can utilize the drum’s flexibility without sacrificing quality. This steel drum also includes a low-density gasket that forms a tight seal to prevent exposure or leaks.
Made in the USA, the 55-Gallon unlined steel open head drum comes unlined. Unlined packaging is an ideal choice for certain heavy materials like oils or food products. Over time, steel drums can experience rust, so the addition of chemical linings can strengthen your packaging strategy. Industrial drums like the 55-Gallon unlined steel open head drum are also popular for transporting harsh chemicals like ethanol and acetone, which can increase chances for corrosion. If you are interested in adding a layer of protection, Pipeline Packaging carries a vast inventory of lined options like epoxy phenolic and rust inhibitors.
