THE BENEFITS OF THE RANGE

Discover the main features of this product range.

Tightness

UN-approved open-head drums, fully assembled using robotic laser fusion technology, provide excellent tightness thanks to their crevice-free design and secure closure system, ensuring an effective barrier against external contamination, humidity, light, and gases.

This design ensures maximum protection of hazardous materials, even under demanding transport conditions.

Compatibility

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

They are compatible with a wide range of solid or powdered hazardous materials and, in some cases, liquids, depending on your application requirements.

Cleanliness

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

Their removable lid design facilitates cleaning and minimizes the risk of cross-contamination between different products.

Regulatory

This range is UN-approved for the transport of hazardous materials, in compliance with international requirements (Transport Canada certifications).

It is certified for the transport of both liquids and solids:

Liquids: UN 1A2/Y1.5/200/YY

Solids: UN 1A2/X225/S/YY, UN 1A2/X419/S/YY, UN 1A2/X400.0/S/YY

Hazardous materials are substances which, due to their physicochemical or toxic properties, pose a serious risk to health, safety, property, or the environment, particularly during transport or handling. They may be flammable, oxidizing, toxic/infectious, explosive, corrosive, or radioactive.

Contact our experts to access full certifications and verify compatibility with your product.

Safety

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

Sustainability

Stainless steel drums assembled by robotic laser fusion without filler metal provide a sustainable 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 while ensuring a high level of safety.

FINISHES

OUR CUSTOM OPTIONS

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.
