OLIVE OIL IN DRUM (BARREL) / 200 LITRES
Package description ( Olive oil in drum barrel 200 litre )
Drums (barrels) are made of steel or HDPE plastic and UN-approved. Both are food grade and suitable for contact with food products. Olive Oil in drums are properly sealed and protected from leakage. They save quality by preventing any contact with light, oxygen, and temperature fluctuations. Can be used for both transit and storing of the product. It will require a pump to extract the oil from the package and lifting equipment to move it around. But because they are a relatively manageable size, a pallet jack or just a trolley jack will be enough to move your olive oil drum around.
Drums are reusable and require maintenance services according to strict protocols, so we offer exchange package program for them.
Who buys olive oil in Drums and why?
Food manufacturers and distributors, large restaurants and hotel chains, supplement producers and bottling companies, traders and retailers often choose olive oil in drums. Drums are convenient for resale, easy to distribute to end customers, and ideal for industrial dosing systems and repacking.
Also, this package is excellent for buyers who find Totes or Flexitanks too large, but still use enough olive oil that make retail sizes not practical. In this case, cost per litre will be slightly higher than in IBC Totes, but noticeably less than smaller retail packaging. So, it gives more flexibility in balancing cost and volume.
