Domestic lubricant packaging steel drum improvement suggestions

With the rapid establishment of China's market economy structure and the rapid expansion of the consumer market, lubricants are no longer pure industrial products in the era of planned economy, and it has become an indispensable consumer product. Therefore, the packaging of lubricating oil has become a part of the product itself. It not only carries the information of the product itself, but also gives the product more promotional functions and functions. In addition, it also needs to improve the grade and grade of the product to maximize the profit of the product. .

China's steel drum standards have been using the former Soviet Union's national standards since the founding of the country. The shape and structure of the national standard steel drums can no longer meet the needs of international market exchanges. In the long-distance transportation of the national standard steel drum, the deformation of the barrel and the damage of the large ribs often occur. This defect has seriously affected the brand image and market sales of the lubricating oil, so the upgrade of the lubricating oil packaging steel drum is forced to be eyebrowd.

According to market research, the most advanced inner diameter of domestic and foreign lubricant packaging steel drums is 571.5mm 208 liter W-wrapped steel drums. The advancement of this barrel type has the following points:

First, the advanced nature of the structure

This barrel type uses a W ring structure. The W ring structure was introduced in Europe and first promoted by GMI in Italy.

The W ring structure is slightly reduced in the peak height of the barrel ring, and two inwardly recessed annular grooves are formed on both sides of each ring to make the original two ring rings actually become six ring rings. Therefore, the steel drum greatly enhances the strength of the steel drum under the condition of constant material thickness, so that the steel drum is more resistant to impact and is not easily deformed during transportation; in addition, the outer diameter of the ring of the W ring structure is smaller than the top of the barrel. The outer diameter of the side makes the steel drum only contact the curling edge between the barrel and the barrel during transportation, eliminating the friction between the ring ribs, thereby maximally improving the large-scale grinding of the national standard steel drum during transportation. Broken, the barrel is easily deformed.

This barrel-shaped corrugation still maintains six ripples of the national standard barrel.

There are three forms of the national standard for the top and bottom of this barrel type: concave, convex, and flat. Because the internal pressure is not large when the lubricating oil is installed, we recommend the flat bottom of the flat barrel with ribs. This top of the bucket not only increases the strength, but also facilitates labeling.

Since the barrel body adopts the W-rib, the top of the barrel is increased by the reinforcing ribs, so that the overall strength of the steel barrel is greatly increased, and the material can be completely thinned within a certain range, and the material investment saved is very considerable.

Second, the adoption of standard advancement

The inner diameter of 571.5mm is from Europe and America. It is mainly used for products with a specific gravity of less than 1, such as lubricating oil, which can increase the input-output ratio. It was later adopted by the International Standard - Steel Barrel ISO/DI1570. In order to connect with the world, this inner diameter is incorporated in "Packaging Container - Steel Barrel" GB/T325-2000. This inner diameter is most in line with "Series 1 Container - Classification, Dimensions and Rated Quality" ISO668:1995. This inner diameter allows it to be stacked side by side in ISO 668:0995 containers, maximizing the use of transportation space and achieving economical transportation cost.

This inner diameter is widely used in the packaging of internationally renowned lubricant brands such as Great Wall, Mobil, Shell, Esso, Flowserve, and Total. Domestic lubricants should adopt the world's advanced packaging standards, thereby reducing barriers and friction in international competition and cooperation, and achieving the unity and harmony of transportation, settlement and the world.

Third, economic

This barrel type increases the volume of the steel drum due to the increased inner diameter. This barrel type is most suitable for products with a specific gravity of less than 1. The specific gravity of the lubricating oil is between 0.8 and 0.95, so the barrel type can hold 180 kg of lubricating oil without affecting its strength. It can pack 10 kg more lubricating oil per barrel than the original national standard steel drum. If the lubricating oil is calculated according to the sales of 60,000 tons per year, 19608 barrels can be used less per year, and each barrel can be saved by 3.5 yuan per year. The annual cost can be saved by 3.52 million yuan. Yuanhua, the annual sales cost of 60,000 tons will not increase by more than 700,000 yuan. After deducting this increase, the annual provincial capital will be 2.82 million yuan. The economics of adopting this barrel type are very obvious. In addition, due to the increase in the diameter of the steel drum, the material utilization rate of the processing enterprise is improved.

This barrel type is only 11.5 mm in the inner diameter direction, and the height dimension is unchanged. After investigation, we believe that the lubricant factory in the filling line, transportation tools, wooden pallets, etc. in addition to the slight adjustment to find the other, without any adjustment and input, it is necessary to achieve a smooth replacement.

Fourth, the beauty

Since the barrel type is enlarged in the diameter direction and the height is constant, so that the ratio of the diameter to the height is more coordinated, the printed trademark on the barrel body has a three-dimensional feeling, and the W ring ribs enhance the visual impact. It makes it more beautiful overall, which gives the product more promotion and merchandise, enhances the brand image of the lubricant, and more reflects the brand's design concept.
