Open-Head Galvanised Steel Drum
Removable-lid steel drum for pastes, powders and viscous products.
Overview
The open-head galvanised drum has a fully removable lid and a locking ring, making it suitable for pastes, high-viscosity liquids, powders and solids. With an internal liner bag it can also carry liquid products such as fruit juice. Every drum is weld-inspected and repaired to a documented procedure before leaving the line.

Handling note. Galvanised drums should be stored in ventilated, dry conditions: zinc is an active metal and will form a white oxide film in persistently damp environments. This surface film is superficial and does not affect the drum's mechanical strength, but it should not be confused with product contamination.
