Key Product Advantages
1.Full Access for Easy Filling and Cleaning
The straight-mouthed, fully open design provides complete access to the drum interior, allowing easy loading and removal of solid or viscous materials. It also simplifies internal cleaning and reconditioning, improving efficiency for repeated use.
2.Robust Structural Design
Constructed from high-strength cold-rolled steel, the drum body offers superior resistance to impact, stacking pressure, and rough handling during logistics operations. Reinforced rolling ribs add rigidity without increasing overall weight.
3.Flexible Customization and Compatibility
Available in a wide range of sizes, coatings, and closures, these drums can be tailored to meet specific material compatibility requirements, including food-grade and chemical-resistant applications.
4.Superior Corrosion Protection
Sifang’s advanced coating technology provides dual-layer protection: an external finish for weather resistance and an internal lining tailored to resist chemical corrosion. The result is long-term performance even in harsh environments.
5.Reliable and Leak-Proof Closure
The open top is sealed using a precision-engineered gasket and a steel locking ring, ensuring airtight and watertight protection during transport and storage. Lever-type or bolt-type options offer flexibility depending on sealing requirements.
6.Environmentally Friendly and Reusable
The steel body is 100% recyclable, and optional water-based coatings comply with global environmental standards. The drums are durable enough for multiple reuse cycles, contributing to sustainable industrial packaging.
Product Composition and Assembly
Each Straight-Mouthed Open Steel Drum consists of:
Drum Body: A straight cylindrical wall made of cold-rolled steel, providing stability and strength.
Top Lid: Fully removable lid with a sealing gasket, allowing easy access for filling and emptying.
Bottom Base: Welded and reinforced bottom plate that ensures high load-bearing capacity.
Locking Ring: Galvanized or painted steel ring, either lever-type for quick locking or bolt-type for heavy-duty sealing.
Coating Layers
Exterior: Durable amino or water-based paint for weather and corrosion resistance.
Interior: High-performance lining to prevent chemical reactions between the contents and the drum wall.
Assembly Process:
Steel sheets are cut, rolled, and welded using precision automatic seam welders.
The body and bottom are joined with tight welding and rolling techniques.
Coatings are applied and oven-cured for long-lasting adhesion.
Each drum is inspected for dimensions, coating uniformity, and leakage before shipment.
Applications
Straight-Mouthed Open Steel Drums are widely used across multiple industries for their versatility and ease of handling:
Chemical and Petrochemical Industry: For packaging resins, adhesives, solid chemicals, and powders.
