Open Top Drum

Open Top Drums are designed for applications where materials need to be filled, removed, mixed, or handled through a wide opening.

ASL Plastic manufactures open top drums for industrial, commercial, storage, and material-handling requirements. The wide-mouth design makes these drums practical for products that are not always convenient to transfer through a narrow opening.

An open top drum generally consists of a cylindrical drum body with a removable lid or cover. The lid can be secured according to the drum design and intended application.

These drums can be considered for storing and transporting different types of materials, including solid, semi-solid, powder and certain liquid products where the drum material and specification are appropriate.

ASL Plastic has been associated with the plastic manufacturing industry since 1948. Its experience in plastic processing supports the production of containers and other plastic products for different customer requirements.

The drum size, construction, weight, lid arrangement and other specifications can vary depending on the intended use.

Product Price

There is no single fixed Open Top Drum price because the cost depends on the specifications required for the order.

The main factors that can influence the price include:

Drum capacity
Drum weight
Plastic material
Wall thickness
Lid or cover design
Colour
Product dimensions
Customisation
Required quantity
Packaging and transportation

A heavier drum with a thicker wall will generally require more raw material than a lightweight version of the same capacity.

Similarly, customised dimensions or a specific lid design can affect the manufacturing cost.

For bulk requirements, pricing can also vary according to the total quantity ordered.

Customers can share their required capacity, application and quantity with ASL Plastic to get a quotation based on the required specifications.
