  • Specially Curled Body Flange - The top edge flap (“flange”) is curled specially—this helps in securing the lid, ensuring sealing, handling etc.
  • Variable Heights & Volumes - The body of the drum is continuously extruded, allowing variability in height (thus capacity) to match specific customer requirements.
  • Ease of cleaning and total emptyability - Designed so that nothing (or very little) remains inside after emptying; cleaning is easier due to open top and straight sides.
