Knock Down Drum (KDD)
The optimal sustainable solution for transporting steel drums to remote locations
Greif’s Patented Concept: Ship semi-finished drum parts to be assembled locally with a basic line.
Additional Features/Options:
- Tight head or open head available
- Drum parts are supplied painted, knocked down, and ready to seam
- Decoration available
- Drums can be tested locally with four basic machines
Optimized Packaging
Reduce working capital and save space with drums are at your door according to your specifications and delivered when you need to fill them. Ideal for just in time manufacturing.
Near or Far
Ideally suited for plants far away from industrial areas, many drums can be exported in ISO-containers over long distances and assembled locally with a more manageable investment.
Sustainability
Minimize your CO2 footprint - 1200 Knock Down Drums fit in a single ISO container, where the max is only eighty for standard drums.
A Knockdown Alternative
A knock-down steel drum, also known as a “dismantled” or “unassembled” drum, is a type of steel drum container shipped in pieces and assembled by the customer on-site. This design allows for more efficient shipping and storage, as the drums take up less space and allow handling in a flat or partially disassembled form. Additionally, knock-down drums are generally more affordable than fully-assembled drums, as they are less expensive to manufacture and transport.
