Fibre Drums for Welding Wire Industry

Using a fibre drum for welding wires is a smart, efficient packaging solution commonly adopted in the welding and metal fabrication industries. These drums are specifically designed to hold continuous spools or coils of welding wire, typically for robotic or automatic MIG/MAG welding systems.

Why Fibre Drums Are Ideal for Welding Wires

FeatureBenefit
Anti-Static and Dust-FreePrevents contamination of welding wire and maintains high-quality feed.
Smooth Inner SurfaceReduces friction and tangling of wires during unspooling.
Durable ConstructionWithstands heavy coils and stacking without collapsing.
LightweightEasier handling and reduced shipping costs compared to steel drums.
RecyclableEnvironmentally friendly; made from recyclable fibreboard.
Customizable DimensionsAvailable in diameters and heights suited to various coil sizes (e.g., 100 – 650 kgs).

Optional Features

Central Core

We can provide a variety of central cores of various diameters for smooth winding and unwinding of wires. Central cores can be provided with slots and other attachments as required.

Inner Poly-coated Lining

We can provide lamination on the inner side of the drum. This provides smooth winding and unwinding and can be provided with anti-static property if required.

Handles

These heavy duty steel handles carry a Safe Weight Limit of 250 kgs and have a breaking limit of more than a tonne. They are ideal for easy handling of packed drums using cranes / lifts. We can provide certificate for SWL.

Belts

We can provide belts on the sides for easy lifting of the drums. These belts assist in easy and safe handling of packed drums.

Bottom hook

Drums can be provided with hook at the bottom for easy tie down of the wires. We can provide a variety of hooks are required.

Brand Screen Printing

We can provide screen printing of your brand on the outside along with handling or other instruction.
