Description

Overview

This 50 L plastic drum is an open-top HDPE container closed by a screw-on lid. The lid threads straight onto the rim with no separate ring, which suits a drum you will open and close several times a day.

It weighs 3 kg and is about 380 mm across and 560 mm tall, an estimate for a typical 50 L drum. Pick this version over the open-head drum with a locking ring when you want a lid that stays with the drum and closes by hand.

Key features

  • 50 L capacity in a compact round shape
  • Screw-on lid with no separate ring
  • Lightweight 3 kg HDPE body
  • Wide opening for scooping and pouring
  • Suits oils, feed, seed and small chemical batches

Where it works

Farm workshops in Limpopo and Mpumalanga use it for grease, bolts and small spares, and dairy farms in the Western Cape use it for teat dip and cleaning concentrates. Contractors in Gauteng keep adhesive and sealer in it, and garden services use it for fertiliser and seed.

Tell us the site and the product you plan to store and we will confirm it suits before you order. It sits in our range of plastic drums. If you are comparing sizes or fittings, also look at the 210 L tight-head drum and the 210 L tight-head drum.

Delivery and warranty

Kamano delivers with its own trucks from Polokwane to all nine provinces in 1 to 3 days. Delivery is free on orders of R20,000 or more (VAT incl.). The shipping weight is 3 kg, which puts a single unit in the up to 30 kg (R550) delivery band. Orders are priced by total weight, so combining several items in one order keeps the fee per unit low. Tell us your town when you order and we confirm the delivery day. Ask us for the warranty terms on this model.

Questions about this product

How good is a screw-on lid for repeated opening?

A screw-on lid is easy to open and re-close many times, and it gives a firmer closure than a loose clip-on lid. Keep the thread clean and avoid cross-threading. It still is not a pressure seal, so strap the drum upright on a bakkie and do not roll it when full.

Do you deliver a 50 L plastic drum to George?

Yes, we deliver with our own trucks to all nine provinces, including George, normally in 1 to 3 days. Fees follow total order weight: up to 30 kg R550, 30 to 60 kg R950, 60 to 100 kg R1,450, over 100 kg on quotation. This ships at 3 kg, in the up to 30 kg (R550) band. Around 10 of these fit inside the 30 kg band, so ordering several together cuts the cost per drum.

How do I stop the screw-on lid from leaking?

Keep the drum upright and clean the thread before closing. Screw the lid down hand-tight without cross-threading. This lid is not a pressure seal, so a full drum should not be rolled or laid on its side. For thin liquids that you tip, a tight-head drum with bungs is safer.

What can I store in a 50 L screw-on lid drum?

Water, oils, many chemicals and dry goods such as feed, pellets or salt, because the HDPE body resists most common products. Check your own product for compatibility, and ask us before storing anything aggressive. We do not state a food-contact rating for this drum, so ask us first if that matters for your use.
