217-liter 1A1 steel drum – non-removable head, UN approved for liquids
The 217-liter tight head steel drum (1A1) is a certified industrial packaging for the transport of liquids, including products classified as dangerous goods. Designed for use in international logistics and compatible with ISO-container shipments, it complies with UNI EN ISO 15750-2 standard related to non-removable head steel drums.
Made of UNI EN 10130 (Fe P01) steel, it offers high structural stability thanks to the longitudinal welding of the body and the heads joined by triple seaming with an interposed sealant. The double ribs and rolling hoops increase resistance during handling, stacking, and long-distance transport.
The closure system with 2” and ¾” galvanized steel Tri-Sure® bungs, combined with EPDM gaskets, ensures a secure seal against leaks and contamination, making it suitable for road, rail, sea, and air shipments.
