The rectangular drums offered by Greif are not just a different shape; they are a comprehensive reimagining of what a polymer drum can be, designed to meet the diverse needs of modern businesses.
Designed for Maximum Efficiency
One of the most striking features of Greif’s rectangular drums is their design for maximum product extraction. The slanted floor feeding into a sump pit ensures that every last drop or particle of the product is extracted, reducing waste and improving cost efficiency. Conserving the bottom of the drum contents is particularly important for industries dealing with expensive or sensitive materials, such as crop protection, micro-nutrients, and chemicals.
The rectangular shape itself is a game-changer in terms of warehouse storage efficiency. Unlike traditional round drums, which leave gaps when stored, Greif’s drums fit together perfectly, maximizing available space. This increases storage capacity and reduces the overall footprint required for inventory, leading to significant packaging value.
Superior Mechanical and Chemical Strength
Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), Greif’s rectangular drums offer excellent mechanical and chemical strength. This material ensures that the drums can withstand rigorous handling and exposure to various chemicals, protecting the integrity of the products inside. The mechanical strength also contributes to secure stacking and handling, reducing the risk of damage during transportation and storage.
Customization for Diverse Industries
Greif’s rectangular drums are not a one-size-fits-all solution. They come in sizes ranging from 8.5 gallons to 30 gallons, making them suitable for various applications. Additionally, the drums can be customized with different colors, neck formats, and labeling options to meet specific industry requirements. This flexibility allows the drums to cater to industries such as crop protection, micro-nutrients, additives, chemicals, automotive products, animal health, oils, and food ingredients.
User-Friendly Features
Ease of handling is another key advantage of Greif’s rectangular drums. They feature four evenly spaced handles, making them easy to lift and move. The protective top and bottom rings provide additional security during handling and stacking, ensuring the drums remain stable and safe.
Regulatory Compliance and Safety
Greif’s rectangular drums are UN-registered and FDA-compliant, ensuring they meet the highest safety and quality standards. This is crucial for industries that require strict regulatory compliance, such as food and pharmaceuticals.
Why Customers Choose Greif’s Rectangular Drums
Customers choose Greif’s rectangular drums for several compelling reasons. The design for maximum product extraction and efficient storage is a significant draw, as it reduces waste and optimizes warehouse space. The excellent mechanical and chemical strength of the HDPE material ensures the safety and integrity of the products, while the customization options allow the drums to meet specific industry needs. The user-friendly features, such as the handles and protective rings, make handling and stacking easy and secure. Finally, the regulatory compliance and safety standards provide peace of mind for businesses in highly regulated industries.
