What sizes of reconditioned IBC totes do you offer?

We offer both 275 gallon reconditioned IBC tote tank and 330 gallon reconditioned ibc tote tank options to support a variety of storage and transport needs.

Are reconditioned IBC totes safe for industrial liquids?

Yes. When properly matched to the intended material, reconditioned IBC totes provide dependable storage for many industrial liquids. Material compatibility should always be reviewed before use, and our team can help guide your selection.

What is the difference between a reconditioned and rebottled IBC tote?

A reconditioned IBC tote retains its original bottle after professional cleaning and inspection, while a rebottled IBC tote receives a brand-new HDPE inner bottle installed inside a reconditioned cage.

Can reconditioned IBC totes be recycled again?

Yes. Many IBC totes can continue through additional recycling or reconditioning cycles depending on their condition and previous contents. We offer pickup, recycling, and container management services to help maximize the life of your industrial containers.

What Is a Reconditioned IBC Tote?

A reconditioned IBC tote is a previously used intermediate bulk container that has completed a comprehensive reconditioning process. Each unit is thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and repaired as needed before returning to service. Depending on the tote's condition, components such as valves, gaskets, or fittings may be replaced to support continued performance.

Unlike a rebottled IBC, which receives a new inner bottle inside the original cage, a reconditioned IBC tote retains its original bottle after passing inspection and cleaning. These used IBC totes provide an economical option for many industrial applications while helping reduce waste and extend container life.

Available Sizes

Selecting the right drum size helps improve storage efficiency while supporting safe handling throughout your operation.

275 Gallon Reconditioned IBC Tote Tank

The 30 gallon poly open head drum is ideal for facilities that need a compact container for smaller material volumes. Its manageable size makes it easy to move while still providing excellent durability for industrial applications.

These drums are commonly used for powders, resins, specialty chemicals, cleaning compounds, waste collection, and other materials that require convenient access.

330 Gallon Reconditioned IBC Tote Tank

The 55 gallon open head poly drum is one of the most popular container sizes for industrial operations. Its larger capacity supports bulk storage while remaining compatible with standard pallets, forklifts, and warehouse storage systems.

This size is commonly selected for dry materials, semi-solids, recycling materials, food ingredients when approved, and industrial compounds requiring secure containment.

Material and Construction

Durable HDPE Inner Bottle

Most reconditioned IBC containers utilize a durable HDPE bottle that provides excellent resistance to many industrial chemicals while remaining lightweight and easy to handle.

Following the reconditioning process, each bottle is cleaned, inspected, and evaluated before being returned to service.

Reinforced Steel Cage Protection

The galvanized steel cage provides structural support during storage, transportation, and material handling. It helps protect the container from impacts while maintaining stability during stacking and forklift movement.

Our inspection process evaluates the cage, pallet, frame, and critical components before each tote is placed back into inventory.

Reconditioning Process

Every industrial IBC tote reconditioned by Patrick Kelly Drums follows a structured evaluation process designed to maximize safety, quality, and reuse.

Our process typically includes:

Thorough cleaning
Inspection of previous contents
Structural evaluation
Leak testing where applicable
Inspection of valves, gaskets, and components
Replacement of worn parts as needed
Final quality review

Reconditioning follows recognized industry practices to help ensure containers continue performing reliably in appropriate industrial applications.
