Hot melt drums

These fibre drums were developed specifically for transporting, storing, and processing thermoplastic adhesives and sealants and feature a removable bottom for complete draining and therefore 100 % utilisation of the contents.

The crimped top and bottom steel chime band is stabilising the drum body. Pointing away from the lid, the crimps do not obstruct the heated plunger entering the drum.

The drum’s inner wall is smooth and also lined with kraft paper­ ­
coated with silicone. The pressure plate can therefore move down with the minimum of friction.

The metal bottom is secured with a tension ring and can be removed manually with ease. Solidified residue can be removed and reintroduced to the processing cycle.

1. The heated pressure plate is inserted directly into the drum where it liquefies the contents.

2. When the drum is empty, the bottom support and protective film are removed.

3. The residue remaining on the bottom can be removed and reintroduced to the processing cycle.
