Barrels & Drums

Moving product in bulk from one operation to another frequently requires a container in the form of a Barrel or Drum. Millard fabricates sanitary barrels and drums built specifically for moving ingredients from Loss-in-weight systems, Ribbon Blenders, Mixers, Hoppers, Augers, Cluster Breakers, general product transfers, temporary storage, etc. to further mixing and processing operations (e.g. Prefilling, Cooking, Final Processing). Our Barrels and Drums are built rugged using stainless steel and are typically sized in 55 gallon and 140 gallon.

Features:

• HD Stainless Steel
• Sanitary and NPT Fitting options available
• Reinforced lid rims
• Custom sizes available
• "In-House" PassivationPassivation treatment is intended to improve the surface condition of stainless steel by dissolving iron that has been embedded in the surface during forming or machining. If allowed to remain, the iron can corrode and give the appearance of rust spots on the stainless steel. Passivation restores the original corrosion-resistant surface by forming a thin, transparent oxide film and is the preferred method for the sanitary durability of stainless steel. Millard has one of the largest "In-House" Passivation operations available for our customer's fabricated items. See our case study on passivation for details. for Sanitary Durability
