About Basco

Its extensive catalogue comprises spill containment trays, drum handling equipment, ball valves, pails, absorbent pads and liquid storage tanks. The brand's WizKid Series drum deheader features a user-friendly, self-propelled operation and is designed to open closed-head steel drums (max capacity 55 gallons) within a minute with minimal human efforts. This drum opener runs on a 1/8 hp, single-phase motor to provide low-to-moderate duty cycles (20 - 50 drums per week) and can be used in both right and left hand modes. The brand also manufactures drum heaters ideal for use with up to 30-gallon steel drums containing materials prone to charring, burning or separation (such as chocolate, honey, light oil and undercoating materials). These heaters feature a rugged aluminium-steel body with internal fibreglass insulation and infinite control (pulsating) technology that operates within three different wattage ranges for accurate heat control.

Things To Consider

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the use of spill containment trays?

Basco spill containment trays collect drips and spills from leaking containers to prevent damage. They provide a slip-proof platform that allows for storing various containers, drums or tanks.

What is the function of IBC ball valves?

IBC ball valves utilise a metal ball with a hole bored through the centre and sandwiched between two seats to control the flow of liquid in a system. They come with EPDM gaskets having excellent resistance to extreme temperatures and alkalis / acids. They also feature an operational handle which when turned manually, opens or closes the ball port, allowing or stopping the fluid flow.

How do poly-backed pads work?

Poly-backed pads are absorbent pads or sheets with a polyethylene backing. The polyethylene backing is a waterproof layer that prevents liquids from penetrating through the pad and onto the surface below. When the pad is used, the absorbent material (such as fluff pulp or superabsorbent polymers) absorbs liquids and holds them within the pad. The polyethylene backing ensures that the absorbed liquids do not leak out of the bottom of the pad and onto the surface.
