Key Product Advantages
1.Space-Saving Stackable Design
The conical body allows empty drums to be nested inside each other, saving up to 70% storage space and reducing transportation costs. This makes them highly efficient for global logistics and warehouse operations.
2.Durable and Long-Lasting Construction
Manufactured using precision rolling and automatic welding, each drum ensures consistent wall thickness, high structural strength, and excellent impact resistance. Reinforced rolling ribs enhance durability during filling, stacking, and transit.
3.Easy Handling and Cleaning
The open-head design enables simple loading and unloading of materials. The smooth inner surface, combined with removable lids, makes cleaning and reuse convenient—ideal for industries requiring product purity and operational flexibility.
4.Customizable Coating Options
Exterior: Optional amino or eco-friendly water-based coatings provide corrosion and weather resistance while meeting environmental standards.
Interior: Various linings—epoxy-phenolic, pure phenolic, or PVF—are available to ensure compatibility with chemicals, oils, and food materials.
5.Leak-Proof and Secure Sealing
The precision-engineered locking ring, combined with an elastic gasket, guarantees tight sealing and leak prevention during transportation. Available in both lever-type and bolt-type closures for customer preference.
6.Reusable and Environmentally Friendly
The drums are designed for long service life and multiple reuses. The steel body and coatings are recyclable, supporting sustainable industrial packaging practices.
Product Composition and Assembly
Each Conical Open Steel Drum consists of the following parts:
Drum Body: Conically rolled cold-rolled steel sheet, ensuring consistent taper for nesting and stability.
Top Lid: Fully removable steel cover with gasket for airtight sealing.
Bottom Base: Seam-welded structure providing high load-bearing strength and resistance to impact.
Locking Ring: Optional lever or bolt type for flexible opening and closing operations.
Coating Layers: Interior and exterior coatings applied via automated electrostatic or spray systems, oven-baked for uniform hardness and durability.
The entire manufacturing process is automated—from forming, welding, and coating to drying and inspection—ensuring high precision, consistent quality, and reliable performance.
Applications
Conical Open Steel Drums are widely used in multiple industries where efficiency, cleanliness, and reusability are key:
Chemical and Petrochemical: Packaging for adhesives, powders, pastes, and resins.
Paints and Coatings: Ideal for high-viscosity materials like inks, colorants, and coatings.
Food and Beverage: Suitable for bulk packaging of edible oils, flavorings, and syrups (with food-grade internal coating).
Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics: For ointments, extracts, and bulk ingredients requiring hygienic handling.
Agriculture: Used for fertilizers, pesticides, and feed additives.
Recycling and Waste Management: Safe containers for collection and transport of solid or semi-solid waste.
Their conical design makes them especially valuable for manufacturers with limited storage or high product turnover.
