30 L plastic drum
30-liter plastic drums are the ideal solution for the safe storage and transportation of liquids, solids or chemicals. Made from high-strength plastic, these drums offer excellent durability and optimum protection against leaks, impact and corrosion.
The 30-litre format is suitable for storing small quantities and separating batches. To choose a plastic drum of this capacity, specify the intended contents and the type of opening required. The availability of a suitable model should be confirmed with Containers Service.
When should you choose a 30-litre drum?
A smaller capacity can make it easier to organise separate batches, track products or prepare limited quantities. It also allows a total volume to be divided between several containers. However, compare the dimensions of the drum with the available space: two models with the same capacity may have different shapes and overall dimensions.
Which closure should you choose?
The choice depends on how the container will be filled and emptied. A large opening provides easier access to the contents. Smaller openings require compatible transfer equipment. Before placing an order, check the type of closure provided, whether a seal is included and the stated sealing conditions for the model.
Is a plastic drum suitable for all liquids?
The material of the drum, the seal material and the conditions of contact must be compatible with the product. In particular, specify its temperature and the storage duration. The fact that a drum is made of plastic alone does not guarantee food-grade or chemical compatibility. For a previously used drum, its history and the preparation carried out are also important selection criteria.
Preparing for handling and storage
The weight of the filled drum depends on the density of the contents. Use suitable handling equipment and provide a stable support, rather than assuming that a 30-litre volume can easily be carried by hand.
