Chime Band Drums
Chime Drums
When external heat causes product expansion inside a sealed container, standard drums can be at risk. Our chime drums feature reinforced chime rings that increase resistance to deformation and leaking caused by internal pressure. This added reinforcement protects the seal during loading, shipping, and movement within your facility, especially if the bottom chime contacts a sharp or blunt surface.
Built for durability, these chime drums are ideal for continuous loop applications where long-term performance is required to meet increasingly stringent package reuse regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chime drums are designed to add protection at the most impact-prone areas of the drum. Reinforced chimes help reduce damage from repeated handling, stacking, and movement, especially in high-traffic warehouse or distribution environments.
By strengthening the top and bottom edges of the drum, reinforced chimes help maintain drum shape and stability over time. This added protection can reduce deformation during handling and support more consistent performance throughout storage and transport.
Chime drums are a strong fit when drums are frequently moved, stacked, or exposed to heavier handling conditions. If protecting drum integrity is critical to maintaining efficiency and avoiding downstream issues, chime drums can offer added durability without changing standard handling practices.
