Food-grade plastic drum

Choosing the Right Food-Grade Drum

Full-Opening Food-Grade Drum

Full-opening food-grade drums are containers specifically designed to allow complete access to their contents. The opening facilitates easy filling, emptying, and cleaning, making them particularly suitable for the storage and transport of bulk food items.

Bung Food-Grade Drum

Bung food-grade drums are containers specially designed for the storage and transport of liquids or semi-liquids intended for human or animal consumption. Our drums are equipped with one or two bungs on the lid, allowing controlled filling and emptying of the contents without needing to fully open the drum.

Food-Grade Drum with Clamping

The main feature is a metal clamping ring, typically located around the lid, allowing the drum to be sealed airtight. This closure system ensures optimal protection against leaks, contamination, and exposure to air, while facilitating the opening and closing of the drum.

Choosing the Right Color for Your Food-Grade Drum

Choosing a drum color may seem secondary, but it can play an important role in managing and identifying products. We offer black drums.

Here are the main reasons to choose a black drum:

• UV Protection

• Heat Resistance

• Durability

• Visual Neutrality

• Management of Sensitive Products*

In some industries, black drums are used for storing waste, hazardous products, or low-value materials.

Our Reused or Second-Hand Food-Grade Drums

The reused or second-hand food-grade drums in the CONTAINERS SERVICE range are drums that have already been used for storing or transporting food products but are reintroduced after thorough cleaning and inspection.

Buying reused drums offers several benefits:

• Reduces environmental impact by limiting the production of new drums

• Promotes recycling

• Economical solution for businesses and individuals

Why Are Food-Grade Drums Made of Plastic?

Food-grade drums are made of plastic (HDPE) for reasons related to safety, convenience, and cost. Firstly, the light weight of plastic allows easier handling for transport and logistics. This helps reduce transport costs and simplifies handling operations. Plastic also provides corrosion resistance, unlike metal, making it especially suitable for storing liquids or acidic, sugary, or salty food items. Plastic offers a good seal, protecting food products from air, moisture, and external contamination. Lastly, plastic is generally less costly than other materials like metal, making it an economical choice for large-scale drum production.

Advice on Storing and Transporting Food-Grade Drums

Storing and transporting food-grade drums requires strict practices to ensure product safety and quality. When storing, it is essential to keep the drums indoors in clean, dry, and temperature-appropriate environments to prevent food deterioration, whether they contain liquids, powders, or solids. During storage, it is recommended to protect them against vibrations, shocks, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
