Buying Guide

Choose the Right Tank or Drum

Tanks and drums should be chosen by liquid or material type, capacity, food-grade needs, open-head or tight-head design, drainage requirements, mobility, and whether the use is for water, chemicals, food production, agriculture, marine buoyancy, or industrial storage.

Question Best option Why
Need drums for liquids, powders, or bulk materials? Plastic Drums Plastic drums are practical for industrial, agricultural, food-processing, and chemical storage where the capacity, lid type, and food-grade requirement must match the contents.
Need a drum that opens fully for filling or cleaning? Open Head Drums Open-head drums are better when contents need easier filling, scooping, cleaning, or access through a removable lid and clamp.
Need a sealed drum for liquid storage or transport? Tight Head Drums Tight-head drums are better for liquids where a closed top and screw cap are more practical than a removable full lid.
Need very large container storage or liquid handling? 1000 Litre Flowbins Flowbins are used for large-volume liquid or bulk storage and are popular when a caged container and bottom outlet are useful for industrial or supply applications.
Need drainage from the bottom of the tank? Conical Tanks Conical tanks are useful where liquids, mixtures, or bulk materials need to settle and drain downward, including fermentation, processing, and controlled dispensing.
Need water storage for trailers, camping, or backup supply? Water Tanks Water tanks are better for storing or transporting water in homes, trailers, farms, camping setups, outdoor areas, and backup water applications.
Need buoyancy bottles for marine flotation? Buoyancy Bottles Buoyancy bottles are used for marine flotation, small boats, custom buoyancy systems, and SAMSA-related applications where approved flotation products are needed.

Common Questions

How do I choose between an open-head and tight-head drum?

Choose open-head drums when the contents need wide access for filling, cleaning, or scooping. Choose tight-head drums when a sealed liquid container with smaller openings is preferred.

When should I choose a conical tank?

Choose a conical tank when draining, settling, fermentation, or controlled bottom discharge is important.

Are second-hand flowbins suitable for every use?

No. Check food-grade status, previous use, availability, location, and whether the container must be rinsed or inspected before use.
