Customization & Services

Tell us the requirement. We’ll work the problem.

Most drum suppliers hand you a catalog and ask which line item fits. We start from the other end — the requirement your process actually has — then configure a drum to meet it. Sometimes that means a standard option. Sometimes it means configuring something that doesn't exist yet.

Configuration Options

What's configurable on a COEXCELL drum

These are the standard levers. Every one is specified per configuration — and where a configuration is UN/DOT certified, it ships under its own exact marking.

Closures & Gaskets

Bung openings, plugs, and gaskets

We can configure the bung openings (buttress x buttress, buttress x pipe), with multiple plug options (vented and non-vented) and gasket options (EPDM, VLDPE).

Dip Tubes

Certified dip tubes

Certified dip tube configurations are available on the ultra-pure models — UN tested and certified both with and without the tube installed, so the marking covers how you actually ship.

Rings

Ring configurations

On the two-piece C55UP: a top handling ring for clearance above the drum head, or top and bottom rings for protection at both ends — clearance that protects custom pump assemblies and dip tubes.

Identification

Colors & labeling

Drum body and ring color combinations give operations a visual inventory system by chemistry or line, alongside the unique traceability identification label each ultra-pure drum carries.

Inner Liner

Resin grade selection

Three inner-liner resin grades are available on the ultra-pure models, matched to your extractables requirement rather than a single one-size specification.

Other Customizations

Beyond the standard levers

Embossments, tamper-proof caps, dust covers, and fully encapsulated bag options for shipping. Tell us your requirements and we'll do the rest.

Why Customize With Us

One plant. One team. One answer.

Custom work goes wrong when it crosses too many hands. Ours doesn't leave the building.

Molded, finished, and tested in one place

Everything happens in our purpose-built Maumee plant, so a configuration change doesn’t have to travel through three suppliers to get answered.

Certification evaluated with the change

Customization can affect what a drum is certified to carry. We confirm the exact marking a custom configuration ships under before it’s produced — never after.

A straight answer either way

If a requirement is achievable, we’ll tell you what it takes. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you that too — the same discipline we apply to every claim we publish.

When the answer isn't in the catalog

Some requirements don't map to a standard option — a chemistry sensitive to something ordinary, a handling constraint no one designed for, a specification a customer's own customer imposed. Those are the projects our team takes on directly.

Example

Application-specific configurations

Additional custom solutions developed with customers whose requirements fell outside standard configurations.

The Standing Offer

Bring us the hard one

If a requirement is achievable, we’ll tell you what it takes. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you that too — and point you toward what would work instead.

How It Works

From requirement to certified configuration

01

Share the requirement

Purity level, packing group if regulated, closure and handling needs, material restrictions, and volumes. Share what you can.

02

We engineer the configuration

Our team works the requirement against what the process can do, and comes back with a configuration — including whether it changes the UN/DOT marking the drum ships under.

03

Qualify with documentation

Certification documents, technical data sheets, and test summaries are provided for the configuration you run — because an approval for one configuration is never extended to another.

Customization Questions

Asked before most custom projects.

Answers to the questions we hear most before a first quote. If yours isn't here, the form is the fastest route to a specific answer.

What can be customized on a COEXCELL drum?

Closures, threads and gasket materials, certified dip tubes, ring configurations on the C55UP, drum and ring colors for inventory identification, labeling, and inner-liner resin grade. Where a requirement falls outside standard configurations, our team works the problem with you rather than declining it.

Can you build a drum for a requirement that isn’t on your spec sheet?

That's the usual starting point for custom work. We've developed application-specific solutions for customers whose requirements fell outside standard configurations. Bring the requirement to the team and we'll tell you what's achievable and what it takes.

Does customization affect UN/DOT certification?

It can. Certifications are stated per configuration and never generalized, so any customization is evaluated against the certification it needs to carry. We confirm the exact marking a custom configuration ships under before it’s produced.

Do you have to know our chemistry to quote a custom configuration?

No. Quoting is built around requirements — purity level, packing group, closure and handling needs, and any material restrictions. Share what you can and we’ll work from that.

What are minimum volumes and lead times for custom work?

These depend on the configuration.
