About Our Plastic Drums
Our 220 litre plastic drums are made from food-grade virgin HDPE (high-density polyethylene). HDPE is lightweight, rust-proof and resistant to many chemicals, and the wide screw-top opening makes filling and emptying easy.
Common Uses
- Food ingredients, sauces and syrups (new drums)
- Water storage
- Detergents, cleaning liquids and lubricants
- Agricultural liquids and fertiliser
- Powders, granules and pellets
Why HDPE Drums
- Food-grade material: suitable for food contact when new.
- Tight seal: a screw-top lid helps prevent leaks and contamination.
- Durable: no rust, and resistant to impact in daily handling.
- Reusable: can be cleaned and reused for compatible products.
New and Used Drums
Choose new drums for food and sensitive products. Used drums are a lower-cost option for water, non-food liquids and general storage. Never reuse a drum that held hazardous chemicals for food or feed.
Storage and Handling
- Store drums upright in a shaded area to avoid heat build-up.
- Move four drums at a time on a pallet, secured with strapping or wrap.
- Keep lids tight and label contents clearly.
