Be smarter, be conical

The Importance of Choosing Conical Drums over Cylindrical Drums

When it comes to packaging and transporting liquid or powder-based products, the choice of drum is critical. While cylindrical drums have been a popular option for many years, conical drums are becoming an increasingly popular choice due to several advantages they offer. One of the biggest advantages of conical drums is that they can save transport costs and storage space, making them a smarter choice for businesses. In this article, we will explore the key benefits of choosing conical drums over cylindrical drums.

  1. Saving Transport Costs: Conical drums are designed to be stackable, which means that more drums can be loaded onto a single pallet or truck. This results in fewer trips, reducing transportation costs and improving efficiency. Additionally, the conical shape of the drums allows them to be nested inside each other when empty, further reducing the amount of space needed for transportation.

 

2. A pallet of cylindrical drums compared to conical drums Maximizing Storage Space: Conical drums are also designed to maximize storage space, making them an ideal choice for businesses that have limited storage space. The tapered shape of the drums allows them to be nested inside each other, reducing the amount of space needed to store empty drums. This is especially important for businesses that need to store large quantities of drums and want to minimize the amount of space they take up.

You can also use SILFA PILLOW to destock it even easier. This is particularly important for businesses that need to handle large numbers of drums on a daily basis.

 

  1. Reduced Waste: The conical shape of the drums also reduces waste. The drums are designed to discharge their contents more efficiently, reducing the amount of waste left in the drum and improving product utilization. This can result in significant cost savings for businesses, as well as reducing their environmental impact.

In conclusion, choosing conical drums over cylindrical drums can offer numerous benefits for businesses. From reducing transportation costs and maximizing storage space to improving ease of handling and reducing waste, conical drums offer a smart choice for companies that need to transport and store liquid or powder-based products.

3 REASONS FOR CHOOSING METAL PACKAGING

Secchielli vernici a solvente e base acqua | settore chimico

A top-quality product needs a top-quality package. Why? 

It’s no secret that product packaging plays a huge role at the point of sale.

Packaging is your customer’s first impression of your brand. It communicates the quality of your product and the values of your company and metal packaging is one of the best solutions you can find in the market. 

Here are just three of the numerous reasons why metal packaging is better than other packages:

1. PREMIUM QUALITY PERCEPTION

Metal immediately gives the idea of upscale and sophisticated to your customers.  

In addition, a metal container can be shaped in order to non-verbally communicate desired brand imagery: easier to grip, open, dispense and longer shelf life.

2. NO DAMAGE DURING TRANSPORTS 

Flexible, strong and lightweight are the key attributes of SILFA Metal Packaging.
As an added bonus, there is a 90% reduction* in packaging damaged in transit.

3. METAL RECYCLES FOREVER

Last but not least: sustainability.

Sustainability has become a critical driver in customer buying decisions. 

Metal cans, pails and drums can be recycled forever. When metal products reach the end of their useful life, the materials are simply collected and recycled, again and again, with no loss of their inherent properties. Once metal enters the material-to-material loop, it will always be available for future generations.

60 ANNI DI SILFA

19 Aprile 2017
Era il 1957 quando Vincenzo Cereda con il socio Alessandro Mola fondarono la SILFA. I dipendenti allora erano tre, la moglie Elia, Pinetta (per tutti Giusy) e Maurilio, cugino e amico di una vita.

L’idea nasce dalla passione del fondatore per il proprio lavoro di capo officina, che per guadagnare qualche soldo in più portava a casa qualche ‘lavoretto’ da concludere la sera o la mattina prima di rincominciare il giorno dopo.

Due anni dopo, vedendo che gli affari stavano prendendo forma, decisero di acquistare un capannone, il Lerón, per poter espandere la produzione e acquisire nuovi clienti.

Oggi in azienda opera la seconda generazione, mentre la terza sta cominciando ad affacciarsi nella realtà aziendale. La SILFA è quindi il risultato delle scelte intuitive dei successori di Vincenzo che sono stati in grado di mantenere viva la tradizione senza perdere mai di vista il futuro e le esigenze del mercato.

Negli anni l’azienda si è evoluta fino a diventare la realtà che è oggi, fortemente orientata all’innovazione ma anche all’internazionalizzazione, introducendo linee di produzione altamente innovative così come prodotti di qualità.

Il 19 aprile SILFA ha compiuto 60 anni ed è stata festeggiata da tutti i suoi dipendenti.
