Why Choose a Necked-In Tight Head Tin Drum?

01. Necked-In Reduced-Diameter Design

The necked-in top design reduces the diameter around the upper section of the drum and provides a defined opening for fitting installation.

This structure is suitable for applications that require controlled filling, secure closure and more precise dispensing.

Available neck openings include 59 mm and 78 mm, depending on the drum configuration.

02. Tight Head Closed-Top Construction

The tight head structure uses a permanently closed top rather than a removable open lid.

Contents are accessed through the installed bung or fitting system.

This construction is designed to provide secure closure and help protect liquid products during storage, handling and transportation.

03. Multiple Industrial Capacities

Different industrial applications require different packaging volumes.

Available capacities include:

5L · 16L · 20L · 25L · 55L · 210L

This range allows buyers to select a suitable drum format for different liquid products, production requirements and distribution channels.

04. Multiple Bung & Fitting Options

The drums can be configured with different fitting systems according to the contents and dispensing requirements.

Available options include:

• 2″ bung fittings
• ¾” bung fittings
• NPT fitting options
• Poly-irradiated gaskets
• Specialized closures

Fitting specifications should be confirmed according to the intended application and required sealing system.

05. Tinplate Construction

The drums are manufactured from prime tinplate, with the standard specification listed at 0.35 mm thickness.

Tinplate construction provides a metal packaging solution for a wide range of industrial liquid products and supports customized exterior printing and finishing.

06. Inner Coating Options

Different liquid products can require different interior protection systems.

Available options include:

Plain Interior

Suitable for applications where no additional inner coating is required.

Rust-Inhibiting Lining

An optional interior treatment for applications where additional corrosion protection is required.

Epoxy Phenolic Lining

Available for selected chemical and industrial applications according to product compatibility requirements.

The appropriate inner coating should be confirmed according to the chemical composition and final application of the packaged product.
