Product Overview

What This Product Is

A UN approved 30 litre open top drum blow moulded in HDPE, measuring 320 x 540mm and weighing 2.1kg complete. It ships with a black lid and a locking ring, so the head comes fully off for filling viscous product and for cleaning between batches.

Key Benefits

UN approval covers the pack for hazardous as well as non-hazardous contents
The removable lid and locking ring reseal the drum after partial use
At 2.1kg empty the drum is light enough for one person to move by hand
HDPE resists corrosion and most chemicals, so the drum survives repeated wash cycles

Problems It Solves

What Goes Wrong Without It

Thick pastes and powders will not flow through the small bung of a tight head drum
Drums that cannot be opened fully are difficult to clean, which rules out reuse
Shipping hazardous goods requires packaging with documented UN approval

Who It Is For

Application Scenarios

Chemical and adhesive producers filling viscous product that needs a full opening
Food processors who need a drum that can be washed out between fills
Exporters whose freight forwarder requires UN approved packaging

Use Guide

How to Specify and Use It

Palletise upright and stack within the rated load for the pallet configuration

Wash and dry the drum before any refill and inspect the ring and lid for damage

Comparison With Other Products

The 30 litre is the smaller of the two open top sizes in this range; the 50 litre version carries more per drum and adds two moulded handles. Against a tight head drum of the same volume, the open top trades a sealed bung fitting for full access to the contents.

Customisation

Sizes, colours and materials can be adapted where the product allows it, and branding can be applied to closures and cap seals. Confirm the change you need when you send the enquiry.
