200 Litre Closed Head Plastic Drum-Single Ring
The Standard Tight Head 200 Litre Drum




What This Product Is
A UN approved 200 litre closed head HDPE drum measuring 585 x 910mm with a total weight of 8.5kg or 9.5kg, single ring, two bungs and a 2 inch filling opening. The tight fitting plugs give a sealed pack for liquids, chemicals and other industrial products.
Key Benefits
- Tight fitting plugs seal against leakage and contamination
- 200 litres per unit is the reference bulk size for handling equipment and pricing
- Compatible with drum pumps and drum faucets through the 2 inch opening
- UN approval and food grade HDPE cover regulated and food contact duties
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Product that evaporates or absorbs moisture cannot be shipped in an open head drum
- Leaking bungs during transit contaminate the whole load, not just the drum
- Bulk liquid packed in smaller containers costs more per litre to pack and to ship
Application Scenarios
- Chemical and lubricant producers packing bulk liquid
- Distributors shipping full drum quantities to industrial customers
- Warehouses and transport operators storing liquid stock long term

Comparison With Other Products
This is the standard tight head 200 litre drum at 585 x 910mm. The closed top version in this range is slightly taller at 936mm and blow moulded in two layers. For contents that have to be scraped or ladled out, the 200 litre open head drum is the correct pack instead.
