| Abstract |
The invention relates to a large-volume stackable barrel, comprising a cylindrical barrel wall and upper and lower barrel heads. To improve stacking properties, in particular the long-term stacking quality, a wall-supportive internal hydrostatic pressure is built up when stacking 'Several drums 011/ top of each other in the drums stacked at the bottom in the free upper gas space and in the drum filling the top drum end or/and the bottom drums end first yielding elastically, before the stack loading can transmitted over the outer carrel wall and upper handling ring into the plastic drum wall and a propping of the stack load ensues over the lower barrel wall and lower handling ring. |
