Description
55 gallon open head plastic drums, sold as a pallet of 8, each holding 220 liters (about 58 US gallons) under a fully removable lid secured with a clamp ring. Buying by the pallet suits food factories, chemical plants, refineries, and warehouses that fill drums in batches. Each drum carries the UN mark UN1H2/X287/S for solids in Packing Groups I, II and III and is made from food-approved material.
With the lid off you get the full diameter of the drum for filling with powders, pellets, pastes, or liquids, then emptying and washing it out for reuse. The smooth blue exterior wipes clean easily, and filled drums can be stacked two high to save floor space.
