Sanitary Stainless Steel Drums

Store food, beverage, and pharmaceutical products in these drums, which have a sanitary design. Smooth, welded seams and a polished, seamless interior prevent product build-up and bacteria growth. Their silicone seal is FDA compliant for direct contact with food. To help you clean around and underneath these drums, they have a raised bottom. They’re also stackable to save space in your facility.
