Functions and characteristics of plastic barrels

Plastic barrels are mainly used for the storage and transportation of various liquids. They are not easy to break, do not rust, are lightweight, and are not easily deformed. Additionally, plastic barrels have good oil resistance and strong corrosion resistance. Nowadays, plastic barrels are commonly used in industries such as chemical raw materials, pesticides, lubricants, coatings, pharmaceuticals, food, hardware electronics, and electromechanical for liquids and solid items. Plastic barrels have an attractive appearance, are smooth inside and out, seamless and without welding, lightweight, strong, impact-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and easy to transport. The lifespan of plastic barrels is long, with a shelf life of generally 1.5 years under normal filling, transportation, and unloading conditions.

Plastic barrels can also be used for hot filling, but the temperature should generally not exceed 60℃. After hot filling, the lid can only be closed and stacked once the contents have cooled to room temperature. If the barrel contains easily dispersible chemicals, a lid with venting function can be used to avoid the danger of overpressure during transportation while ensuring the sealing performance of the liquid.

In warehouse stacking and canning, plastic barrels significantly save space and materials throughout the process. Plastic barrels are lightweight, low-temperature resistant, corrosion-resistant, reduce pollution, are clean, acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, high-temperature resistant, sterile, odorless, and have good expansion resistance and impact resistance, meeting medical testing requirements.

Plastic barrelThere are no issues in terms of usage; nowadays, plastic barrels are indispensable in daily life. However, to make better use of them, attention should be paid to several aspects during stacking and storage. Generally, plastic barrels after packaging should be stacked on double-sided flat pallets, with pallet dimensions not exceeding 1.3 meters; each pallet should have one layer stacked, and the number of plastic barrels stacked depends on the size of the pallet. The edges of the plastic barrels must not exceed the edges of the pallet; the plastic barrels on the pallet should be stacked symmetrically, ensuring that the weight of the entire pallet and the plastic barrels above it is centered on the pallet.

The storage shelf life of plastic barrels is 2 years from the date of production. Plastic barrels should be stored under a canopy to avoid exposure to sunlight, with storage temperatures below 40℃ and above -18℃.

Plastic barrels stacked on pallets should be secured with stretch film. During packaging, care should be taken to avoid mutual squeezing and deformation between plastic barrels, with deformation not exceeding 5%; after packaging, the number of stacked layers on the pallet should not exceed 2 layers, and when stacking, the upper and lower layers should be aligned to ensure that the weight of the upper layer is evenly applied to the lower layer. The ground where the barrels are stacked should be flat and level. Attention should be paid to the storage of plastic barrels; a good storage environment can effectively extend their usage time.
