When it comes to packaging, industrial drums like the 55-Gallon Unlined Tight Head Drum are a popular choice due to their sturdy build and high-volume capacities. Pipeline Packaging carries a wide inventory from steel, to plastic, and fiber options.
Though plastic is a common selection for those looking for something lightweight, cold-rolled steel drums offer a higher degree of durability when it comes to protecting against impact damages. They can also withstand more extreme temperatures, hot and cold alike. Similarly, plastic is often chosen as a cost-effective industrial drum. However, steel options like the 55-Gallon Unlined Tight Head Drum are also incredibly cost effective in terms of investment, allowing you to store various products across its long work life.
Made in the USA, the 83523 comes in a tight head style. Besides material construction, industrial drums arrive in delineations of open and tight heads. Though open heads allow a greater degree of freedom for accessing stored products, tight heads are a pivotal feature for strategies handling highly sensitive substances that cannot risk leaks or spills.
The 55-Gallon Unlined Tight Head Drum is equipped with a 2” and 3/4” Rieke fittings. The fitting completes the locked surface of the tight head while still providing safe and controlled access to stored materials when needed. Rieke’s deep setting alongside its balanced engineering makes it an exceptional drum plug. This drum also comes in an opaque white coloration that block UV rays from penetrating the packaging. Unlike darker colors, the white also does not attract heat at a higher level than other colors like deep blue or black drums.
With a 1A1/X1.8/300 UN-rating, 55-Gallon Unlined Tight Head Drum arrives with a rust inhibitor lining. This addition protects the drum with a barrier against corrosion. Rust inhibitor linings extend the lifespan of steel drums. For solutions with other lined or unlined options, please browse Pipeline’s vast online inventory.
