Steel Drums

The company’s drums conform to the highest safety guidelines, and are certified for sea and road transportation of hazardous chemicals.

The drums are of Tight Head and Open Top designs. Balmer Lawrie has 14 different drum types that have been approved with UN markings and depending on the product to be filled, a suitable drum could be chosen.

The thickness of steel in these drums ranges from 0.70 mm to 1.20 mm. The drums are with seven fold triple seam. They are also with a “W” design rolling hoops (or beads) which permits optimum stuffing of drums in shipping containers.

Drums can be supplied either with corrugations on the body which improve the resistance to denting, or without corrugations.

In the Tight Head drums the tops are with a special “Optimal Drainability” design.

The drums are fitted with high quality closures. Optionally for the Tight Head drums tabseals (capseals), which are generally lithographed to customer’s logo / design can be supplied.

Externally the drums are painted with high quality, specially formulated stoving paint with a minimum 20 microns thickness.

Optionally the drums can be Screen Printed on the body or on the top with company logo and / or product details.

Internally the drums can be supplied with either a primer paint coat, or a single or double coat of a very high quality Epoxy Phenolic Lacquer Lining.
