The choice should take into account the product to be stored, how it will be filled and how the drum will be emptied.
Why check the exact capacity?
The term 200-litre plastic drum often refers to a range of large containers. The selection includes models of around 220 litres and may include other capacities depending on availability. Check the capacity, height and diameter of the product to ensure sufficient space is available. The external dimensions are also important for fitting through doorways and for handling.
Compare the openings
A tight-head drum can be fitted with transfer equipment compatible with its openings. An open-head drum provides wider access to the inside of the container. The lid and its closure system must be compatible with the drum. If you need frequent access to the contents, take this requirement into account when choosing the model.
What should you check on a reusable drum?
Check the stated condition, the preparation procedures carried out and the information about its previous use. A drum sold as-is does not undergo the same preparation as a reconditioned model. Suitability for food contact or for a specific liquid must be confirmed for the product and the intended conditions of use.
Organising storage
Provide a stable floor and handling equipment suitable for the weight of the filled drum. The weight depends on the density of the contents: 200 litres does not necessarily equal 200 kg. Check whether the drums are suitable for stacking before stacking them.
