EXPERTISES

THE BENEFITS OF THE RANGE

Discover the main features of this product range.

Tightness

INOVADRUM open-head drums, fully assembled using robotic laser fusion technology, provide excellent tightness thanks to their crevice-free design between covers and body of the barrel and robust ring-closing system.

The tightness between the removable lid and the drum body is ensured by a food-grade EPDM gasket, creating an effective barrier against external contamination, humidity, light, and gases.

The closing rings, available in painted steel, zinc plated steel, or 304/304L stainless steel, securely holds the lid in place and contributes to optimal product protection during production, transport, and storage phases.

Compatibility

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel (304/304L or 316/316L), without varnish or internal coating, INOVADRUM drums ensure excellent chemical inertness.

This design enables broad compatibility with a wide range of liquid, granular, or powdered products, particularly in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors, without any risk of degradation linked to internal coatings.

Cleanliness

Thanks to robotic laser fusion technology, which eliminates all retention areas, and to strictly controlled manufacturing and washing processes, Inovaweld drums achieve a high level of cleanliness.

Their removable lid design facilitates thorough cleaning and visual inspection of the interior before reuse, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and meeting the requirements of the most sensitive applications.

Regulatory

This range is accredited by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), ensuring compliance for food contact and applications requiring a high level of hygiene.

Contact our experts to obtain the associated certificates and compliance documentation.

Safety

Designed with 1.5 mm thick stainless steel, the drums offer excellent resistance to impacts, punctures, and compression that may occur during handling and transport operations.

Sustainability

Open-head stainless steel drums provide a durable and secure alternative to HDPE drums, lacquered steel drums, or crimped stainless steel models.

Reusable and designed for a long service life, they help reduce packaging waste and support a responsible industrial approach.

FINISHES

OUR CUSTOM OPTIONS

Our packaging can be configured to meet your product requirements.

Finishing option

Available in 304/304L or 316/316L grade stainless steel, with a 2B surface finish (standard).

Several options are available to adapt the drum to your applications: handling handles, discharge openings, and integration of specific equipment (pressure gauges, heating elements, level detection systems, etc.).

Customisation

Customization is possible thanks to our low-power laser marking technology.

We can integrate your logo, unique serial numbers, or any other specific information, allowing you to adapt your drums to your identification requirements and brand image.

YOUR PACKAGING QUESTIONS

Are stainless steel drums recyclable?

Stainless steel is 100% recyclable. However, classification as a “contaminant-free” solution depends on the condition of the drum, the products it has contained, and how it has been maintained over time.

What are the advantages of laser welding technology?

The fully welded design eliminates crimped assemblies, reducing retention areas and making cleaning easier, while improving robustness and versatility of use. Laser welding does not require filler material, which reduces the risk of corrosion and internal porosity. As the heat-affected zone is very limited, internal stresses are reduced and the drum’s mechanical strength is enhanced, particularly in the event of impacts or drops.

What is the difference between 304/304L and 316/316L stainless steel?

300 series stainless steels share a common base, to which elements such as chromium, nickel, or molybdenum are added to define their properties. Grades 304 and 316 are non-magnetic.304/304L offers excellent corrosion resistance in standard environments and is a cost-effective solution, while 316/316L is designed for more aggressive environments, particularly in marine or chemical industries, thanks to its enhanced corrosion resistance.

CAN STAINLESS STEEL DRUMS BE CLEANED AND REUSED?

When used with products compatible with stainless steel and properly maintained, drums can have a very long service life. Replacement is generally linked to the use of unsuitable cleaning agents, especially chlorine-based products, or to mechanical damage during handling. In demanding applications, such as maple syrup, well-maintained drums can exceed 20 years of service life. Fully welded drums offer greater durability than crimped drums, whose design typically limits their lifespan to just a few years.
