Conical (Tapered) Drums
Greif manufactures the conical drum in Greece, Italy, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Egypt and Brazil. In the U.S.A., conical drums are known as tapered drums.
Conical drums, which are internally coated and externally painted, are available in a standard capacity of 220 liters/58 gallons. Additionally, several operations offer 194-liter/51-gallon conical drums. Empty conical drums can be nested and palletized, providing considerable savings in both storage space and transport costs.
Overall external diameter of the drum makes it possible to store four drums in line - over the width - of an ISO shipping container (80 drums can be loaded in a 20-ft. shipping container).
Conical drums may be returned and re-used. They can easily be re-conditioned.
