Product Overview

What This Product Is

A UN approved 120 litre tight head HDPE drum measuring 500 x 720mm with a total weight of 6.5kg or 7kg, single ring, two bungs and a 2 inch filling opening. It suits sealed liquid packing at a size below the standard 200 litre drum.

Key Benefits

120 litres bridges the gap between jerry can quantities and a full 200 litre drum
The tight head design prevents contamination and evaporation
The 500mm diameter matches the open head drums in this range for pallet consistency
UN approval means the same pack carries regulated goods

Problems It Solves

What Goes Wrong Without It

A 200 litre drum is more than some customers order, but smaller packs cost more per litre
Volatile and moisture sensitive liquids cannot be shipped in an open head pack
Drum sizes that break the pallet pattern create wasted space in a container

Who It Is For

Application Scenarios

Chemical and lubricant fillers offering an intermediate pack size
Distributors supplying customers who order below full drum quantities
Processors handling hazardous or sensitive liquids in medium batches

Use Guide

How to Specify and Use It

Fill through the 2 inch opening and torque both bungs to seal

Use a drum pump or faucet through the bung rather than opening the drum

Wash and sanitise before reuse and inspect the bung seats

Comparison With Other Products

Against the 200 litre closed head drum, this is the smaller sealed option at 500 x 720mm and 6.5kg to 7kg, easier to handle and cheaper to ship in part loads. Against the 120 litre open top drum, which shares the 500mm diameter, the difference is sealed containment versus full access.

Customisation
