About this pack
What you get
The 200-liter drum (about 52.8 US gallons, close to the familiar 55-gallon drum) is the workhorse of food manufacturing and oil distribution. Our drums are food-grade, closed-head steel drums with bung openings, filled, sealed and lot-coded at our US facilities.
Drums suit buyers who use oil steadily but do not have tank storage: snack and bakery production, sauce makers, repackers filling their own bottles, and distributors supplying smaller kitchens. Specialty oils that are pressed in smaller volumes are also often shipped in drums.
