Abstract: A two-part drum includes a blow molded self supporting plastic liner with circumferential reinforcing grooves, and a shell. The shell and the liner have matching cross-sections defined by curved sidewalls and curved sections cooperating to form a nominally rectangular or square cross-section.
Abstract: A drum for transporting viscous fluids and the like is disclosed. The improvement of this drum consists of a bottom assembly which breaks away from the bottom closure element when a force is applied to the bottom by a ram. The break away bottom is forced up through the drum by a ram, thereby forcing the contents out through the top of the drum.
