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.

 

  1. scaricare fustiEase of Handling: Conical drums are also easier to handle than cylindrical drums. The tapered shape of the drums makes them easier to grip, lift and destock. 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

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 YEARS OF SILFA

19th April 2017
Vincenzo Cereda and his business partner founded Silfa in 1957. At that time the employees were three: his wife Elia, Pinetta (Giusy for friends) and Maurilio, lifelong friend and cousin.
The idea comes from the founder’s love for his job as head of mechanical workshop, that used to bring home some work to do before and after his usual working day.
Two years later, as the business was doing well, they decided to buy a warehouse, called Lerón, in order to expand their production and acquire new customers.
Today the second-generation is continuing the business, while the third one is starting to enter.
Silfa is therefore the result of the intuitive choices of Vincenzo’s successors that were able to keep alive his values without losing sight of the future and market needs.
Over the years the company has evolved, introducing new production lines and quality products
On 19th April 2017 Silfa turned 60. All the employees have commemorated the event together.

METAL recycles forever

As consumers are becoming more and more concerned about the impact that packaging can have on the environment, Metal Packaging Europe is encouraging the licensed use of the Recycling Mark, trademarked and exclusive property of Metal Packaging Europe.
The idea behind the use of this logo is to take part to a worldwide behaviour change campaign aimed to help people to understand the key role they have to play in keeping metal in the material loop by recycling their empty packaging.

Silfa is proud to wear and embody this trademark as well as to share its powerful meaning.
