M9405 - Barrel and drum reconditioning

Operational Details
Steel barrel and drum reconditioning basically involves the cleaning of the vessels in a caustic soda bath, repairing punctures, replacing bunghole caps, and replacing the top or bottom end caps.

Drums and barrels may be steam cleaned or sand blasted to remove debris and rust. They may also be painted or treated. Small inventories of plate steel may be inventoried to produce end caps for the barrels or drums.

Welding, steam, sand blasting, roll forming, braking, cutting, and painting equipment are used.

The reconditioned barrels and drums are stored in a yard or inside the repair facility prior to and after reconditioning and are transported by either a third party carrier or by the customer.
