EAGLE 1660 Funnel Polypropylene Drum

Eagle 1660 funnel drum is ideal for efficient and controlled pouring of liquids into standard 55-gallon drums. It has a wide-mouth funnel and a built-in hinged cover, facilitating precise liquid transfer while minimising the risk of spills and contamination in industrial settings. This HDPE funnel drum is used in chemical, manufacturing and laboratory environments where precise pouring and containment are essential.

Features:

• It can hold a large volume of liquid (30 / 55 gallons) and fills the whole drum at once. The large opening eliminates overspills or miss-spills which can be a common problem with conical funnels.
• It comes with a lid that keeps out dirt and contaminants and secures personnel & property while draining corrosive liquids to minimise potential hazards.
• This immovable drum funnel has a high sidewall that allows the safe pouring of liquids in workplaces while eliminating the chance of spills and splashes.

Compatible Accessories:

• Eagle 1664 Cover Drum Funnel: This lid is designed to securely cover drum funnels, protecting against contaminants while pouring contents into drums or while in storage. It effectively encloses the funnel and access to the drum, ensuring compliance with closed-container regulations.

Standards and Approvals:

• EPA 40 CFR 265.173

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the purpose of a large spout in this funnel?

A. The funnel comes with a large spout that accepts multiple containers at a time and allows a quick decanting process.

Q. What is a flame arrestor?

A. This funnel comes equipped with a flame arrestor which dissipates heat to readily stop flashback ignition.

Q. What is the funnel made of?

A. This funnel is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material which makes it suitable for most chemicals as compared to standard funnels, thereby eliminating the risk of spills.

Q. What are the proper pouring techniques that reduce the risk of spillage by operators?

A.

• Ensure a continuous and steady flow of liquids, avoiding sudden movements for enhanced control and spill prevention.
• Tilt the drum at an appropriate angle, promoting a controlled and smooth liquid flow without creating excessive turbulence.
• Modify the pouring speed according to the viscosity of the substance to prevent overflow or splashing incidents.
• Keep a vigilant eye on the liquid level within the funnel to prevent overfilling, minimising the risk of spillage.
• Consider utilising secondary containment tools like spill trays or absorbent materials to effectively contain potential spills.
• Ensure operators undergo proper training, educating them on substance characteristics, potential risks and necessary safety measures during liquid transfer processes.

Q. Is regular maintenance required for this Eagle 1660 funnel drum?

A. While the funnel drum is durable, periodic inspections for wear, cracks or chemical damage are recommended. Replace on identifying any of these issues.
