CurTec drums are well known for their durability across many industries. CurTec drums, ranging in capacity between 3 and 150 liters, have always had a strong following among home brewers and those fermenting craft batches of wine, kumbucha, kimchi, sauerkraut, and hard cider. Those pickling cucumbers and fish also appreciate our reusable plastic drums.
Now we are also seeing small batch commercial operations adopt our plastic drums. They appreciate the durability, and also like other added benefits such as:
Brewers also use our drums to store their sugars and grains because of the very low moisture vapor transmission rates. This prevents caking of the sugar and keeps the grains from going stale.
Our followers like that the plastic drums are much more affordable than stainless steel brewing and fermenting containers. They also don’t easily dent and weigh significantly less. And, because of our high-quality food safe resins, there is no impact on taste.
Another application we see is for reclaiming spent grain. Thunder Island Brewing has found a sustainable use for CurTec’s drums. After each brew cycle, they remove the spent grain and hops to a 110 liter Total Opening Drum. Farmers then pick up the grain to use as feed and return the empties.
