Choosing a oil 220 liter drum
Introduction
In the lubricants packaging industry, such as oil, choosing a 220-liter steel drum is one of the crucial decisions for the safe protection and transportation of the product. Adherence to technical points in choosing an oil drum is essential to ensure the packaging quality and product safety.
Important Note: Closed or standard (cylindrical) drums are used in oil packaging.
Important points when choosing a oil 220 liter drum
Number of layers in the seam of a 220-liter oil drum:
The number of layers in the seam of a steel drum is an important factor that directly impacts the drum’s safety and strength. The seam provides the necessary resistance against impacts and sudden conditions.
Thickness of the body of the oil 220 liter drum
Thickness of the top and bottom of the oil drum
Type of paint on the oil drum:
Type of lid and flange:


Required standards for a oil 220 liter drum
Coating standards
Coatings must adhere to relevant standards, such as:
FDA 21 CFR 175.300: This regulation describes the safe use of epoxy and phenolic coatings for direct contact with food, ensuring their safety for lubricants.
ISO 28721-1: This international standard specifies requirements for the quality of enamel coatings on metal substrates, ensuring resistance to corrosive materials.
Sealing standards:
Leak-proof sealing is essential to maintain the integrity of lubricants.
ISO 15750-2: This standard specifies the design, dimensions, and performance requirements for closures of drums used for transporting liquids.
Durability and strength standards
Drums must withstand transportation and storage pressures. Key standards include:
ISO 15750-1: This standard covers the design and performance requirements of 208-liter steel drums, including their structural integrity under various conditions.
ASTM D4150: This test method evaluates the impact resistance of containers and transport systems, ensuring that drums can withstand drops and impacts during handling.

Some industries related to steel drums
Drug drums are a vital component in the pharmaceutical packaging industry. Their robust construction ensures the integrity and safety of contents during storage and transportation. These drums are often covered with a protective coating to prevent any possible reaction between the metal and the drug.
Steel drums with closed doors are very suitable for packaging materials such as glue and resin due to their resistant structure and variety of sizes. These drums, which are made of high quality steel or plastic, can protect resin and glue against chemical and physical factors and prevent changes in the quality of the materials inside them.
Steel drums play a vital role in the food industry. Their sturdy and versatile construction makes them ideal for storing and transporting a variety of food products. However, ensuring the safety and quality of food products stored in these drums requires compliance with strict standards and regulations.
Industrial waste drums play an important role in the management and disposal of waste produced by various industries. Choosing the right type of drum, especially steel drums, ensures that safety, durability and compliance with legal standards are maintained. Here are the standards required for industrial waste drums…
One of the most important topics in lubricants that affects the quality, safety and longevity of the product is packaging. Steel drums are the preferred choice for packaging lubricants due to their strength and protective properties. To ensure optimal performance, a steel drum for lubricant packaging must have certain characteristics.
