Plastic Open Head Drum Barrel - 30 to 220 Litres

These blue plastic barrels, which come with a fully removable clamp-ring lid, are made to store and move liquids, powders and solids safely. This plastic drum barrel comes in five sizes, so you can choose a plastic drum container that fits the job.

The heavy-duty clamp ring locks the lid down evenly to help prevent leaks, spills and contamination in transit and storage. Take the whole top off, and filling, scooping out powders and cleaning are quick and easy.

Tough, food approved and UN 1H2/X approved

Made from food-approved HDPE (food certification can be found in Product Downloads), these plastic drums resist dents and chemical attack, and suit everything from food ingredients and oils to cleaning agents and chemicals.

Not only that, but this open-head drum has been tested to UN Packing Group I performance standards, the highest packaging performance level for dangerous goods. It can also meet Packing Group II and III requirements, subject to the drum's full approval specification and compatibility with the contents. Full specifications for each size are in Product Downloads.

Built to be reused

Smooth internal walls wash out cleanly, so one drum can be reused for years instead of being thrown away, and the drums stack up to two high to save floor space.

Prefer to fill and decant through bungs? Choose our 220 Litre UN Approved Plastic Tight Head Barrel. Heater jackets are available for every size.
