The new SQ2 tight head drum from Schütz is a space-saving logistics tool. Due to its square cross-section, a total of nine drums fit onto an Australian standard pallet. The model is available, depending on the drum size, with a volume of 100 and 110 litres.
Up to 990 litres of filling product can be transported per bundle. This equals up to an 80 per cent larger transport volume compared to round drums, which are currently used in the agrichemical industry in Australia.
The design of the new tight head drum allows easy handling for fillers and end users. Despite the square body of the drum, the bottom and the top are round. There are two recesses in the stable top-ring, which serve as handles.
The two rings nest when stacked to ensure that they stand securely. The drum body is made of high-quality HDPE, which has an optimal resistance to chemicals and stress cracking and is also approved for dangerous goods.
A “dry-break” valve at the upper end protects the user from contact with the filling product and simultaneously protects the product from contamination. The closed extraction system plus optimal EVOH barrier opens up numerous fields of application for the SQ2 tight head drum – for example in the agrichemical industry, but also for food and technically demanding liquids from the non-food sector.
