Plastic containers confidently conquer the market, displacing their metal predecessors. But there is competition among polymer products. Let's consider two main types of plastic tanks – Eurocube capacity and large-capacity barrels, so that you can choose the best option.
Comparison of two types of containers
To understand which capacity is better to buy in a particular case, it is necessary to understand what their differences are.
Barrels made of plastic can be made in different colors - black, green, the blue, white. Eurocube - always white.
There is a measuring scale on the wall of the Eurocube, by which you can easily determine the rest of the content by eye. In barrels, this can be done only by looking inside or using special devices.
Plastic barrels can be of different shapes and configurations – cylindrical, rectangular, vertical, horizontal. In Eurocube, the form remains unchanged.
Repair of plastic tanks and barrels is always available, while it is not always possible to repair the Eurocube.
The Eurocube is placed in a metal grid to minimize physical damage, the barrel is most often sold and used without covers and grates.
When choosing a barrel, you can focus on the layering of the product, Eurocube comes in a standard form.
There is a stabilizer in the raw material of food plastic barrels, which does not transmit UV radiation. Water in such containers does not bloom even if it is stored outdoors. Eurocube should not be left in direct sunlight, because it does not contain a stabilizer.
Barrels made of plastic have a wide selection of volumes - from 60 to 20000 liters, while Eurocube from 600 to 1250 liters.
The Eurocube immediately has a built-in tap for draining, you can make a hole in the plastic barrel where necessary, or not to do it at all.
Apart from the differences, plastic barrels and Eurocubes also have a lot in common. And a barrel, and eurocube can be made of technical or food grade plastic. The purposes of both are identical.
Barrel and Eurocube can be used to transport liquids, and for storage in the warehouse. As in everyday life, and production, industrial sectors.
Both types of containers belong to the category of reusable containers, easily cleaned and washed using standard means or simple devices, such as a pump sprayer.
