The purpose of drumming <a title=Search for drums at Container and Packaging Supply href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/plastic-drums/61/>Drums </a>are designed to store and transport both liquid and dry materials in bulk quantities. These hefty containers are noted for their ability to safely haul precious cargo like fuel and the building blocks to containers, plastic pellets, among many other items. Our collection of blue and natural drums can be used industrially in agriculture practices, to house personal care product raw materials and as large water storage tanks. The standards of drumming Drums are constructed from different types of material, most commonly steel, <a title=Search for plastic drums at Container and Packaging Supply href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/plastic-drums/61/>plastic</a> and <a title=Search for fiber drums at Container and Packaging Supply href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/pails-drums/10/?m=Fiber>fiber</a>. Though the substance of which drums are made may vary, the container's basic measurements are fairly customary. The height of a drum typically ranges from 34 to 38 inches, with a diameter that can span anywhere from 18 to 24 inches. While 55 gallon is the uniform and well known drum capacity, we also offer these durable containers in 30, 15 and 14 gallon selections. <div><a href=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vvsiZ57WiNA/Trv2XXqyzaI/AAAAAAAAAOU/D0Gi54TL2hU/s1600/battleofdrums2.jpg><img src=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vvsiZ57WiNA/Trv2XXqyzaI/AAAAAAAAAOU/D0Gi54TL2hU/s1600/battleofdrums2.jpg alt= border=0 /></a></div> Plastic and Fiber drumming: The open and closed-head methods <a title=Search for plastic drums at Container and Packaging Supply href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/pails-drums/10/ target=_blank rel=noopener>Plastic drums</a> consist of two sub-categories, open-head and closed-head. Open-head drums are equipped with a removable top. This allows for mass amounts of product to be easily transported into the drum, via a wide entry point. Once the drum has been filled a metal fastener, referred to as a lever-lock, binds the drum's lid to the container, creating an airtight seal. This type of drum is best suited for dry products. Some of our plastic open-head drums offer the option for nesting; a space-saving trait that comes in handy when storing a large number of empty drums. Closed-head drums are welded shut, the top is adorned with two 2 inch gasket openings, through which contents can be added to or removed from the drum. The limited entry access makes this class of drum perfect for liquid based products. Open-head drums may have the ability to nest, but closed-head drums can roll. You may have noticed the protruding ridges on this type of drum; those markings are rings that reinforce the container's structure and allow for stylish, rolling transport of goods. <a title=Search for fiber drums at Container and Packaging Supply href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/pails-drums/10/?m=Fiber target=_blank rel=noopener>Fiber drums </a>are either made from cardboard or paperboard and of the open-head style, which functions best with dry products. Without a hard resin exterior, these containers lack the corrugation ridges noticeable on plastic drums, inhibiting the rolling ability. <div><a href=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S6GEoxabXZQ/Trv2g9JGDnI/AAAAAAAAAOc/H4eI9xbewto/s1600/battleofdrums3.jpg><img src=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S6GEoxabXZQ/Trv2g9JGDnI/AAAAAAAAAOc/H4eI9xbewto/s1600/battleofdrums3.jpg alt= border=0 /></a></div> Accessorize like a drummer A drum ensemble isn't complete without the right <a title=Search for drum accessories at Container and Packaging Supply href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/catalog/other-accessories/29/ target=_blank rel=noopener>accessories</a>.
