Description
55 gallon open head plastic drum in blue, with a removable white cover held by a steel lever-lock ring. The straight-sided body is extruded from high molecular weight HDPE, resists deformation and environmental stress cracking, and handles twice the vacuum of standard blow-molded drums. It complies with FDA requirements, so it suits food plants, bakeries, farms, and manufacturers who need full-top access for loading and cleaning, along with chemical users who want a tough, UN-rated drum for solids.
The cover itself has 2″ and 3/4″ NPT fittings, so you can dispense liquid or vent the drum without removing the lid.
