Manufacturing Process and Consistent Manufacturing Standards

CValérex 200 drum is made by a unique state-of-the-art manufacturing process where the body of the container is extruded in the form of a tube, ends are injection moulded and joined to the tube by a special welding process to form the drum. The fully automated PLC controlled process guarantees highest quality standards, exact wall thickness and avoids weak areas due to uneven distribution of material common to conventional blow moulding process. Van Leer's unique manufacturing process results in minimum variation in height, diameter, wall thickness and drum weight. PERFORMANCE With U.N. certification across the range and the most stringent process control and quality assurance procedures, Valérex 200 drums offer the performance and reliability to meet your needs.


Colour Choice

Colouring is not just a matter of making the drum look good but can be important for safety and effective storage too. The Valérex 200 drum offers a unique choice of coloured ends, which can either match or contrast with the drum colours. Colour coding can help to identify hazardous chemicals from non-hazardous ones. It can also enable you to distinguish batches at a glance and product coding for better inventory management.
