Drum Deheaders

What You Need to Cut the Top and/or Bottom off a Closed-head Drum

You need the right drum manual or electric drum deheader tool. To choose the right tool, you first need to know if anything is in the drum - for instance, if the drum contains flammable vapors. Also, what is your intention for the drum? To dispose of it as scrap metal or to make it a trash can or other type of usable container?

By using a manual or electric drum deheading tool you can have a choice of disposing of your drum as scrap metal or turning it into a trash can or another type of usable container.

Warning - using incorrect tools can be dangerous

Why put yourself in harms way by using tools not designed to do the job correctly? 

You could cut off the drum top with a cutting torch (very dangerous if the drum contains flammable vapors) or use a saws-all (same dangers apply), but either method could take a lot of time and all you would have left is a piece of scrap metal.

Hand Operated Deheaders 

  • The logical and economical choice for low volume, occasional use, deheading up to 10 drums per week.

  • Several styles to choose from, including the option of a non-sparking blade for deheading drums that may contain flammable vapors.

  • Never attempt to dehead a drum containing flammable vapors with a standard deheader - it could cause an explosion. Use a manual deheader with a non-sparking blade or a non-ferrous cutting wheel when working in a flammable area.

Wiz-Kid® Electric Drum Deheaders

  • A good choice for the operator who deheads up to 25 drums per week.  

  • After adjusting the unit, a few self-powered trips around the drum head allows the lid to break free.

  • Wiz-Kid® Electrics are not lightning fast but they are faster than a manual deheader.

  • A "hands-safe" edge is left to help minimize accidents.

Industrial Air / Electric Deheaders 

  • Choose one of these for deheading more than 25 drums per week.

  • In less than one minute, these super machines power themselves around a drum making a smooth, continuous cut

  • A "hands-safe" edge is left to help minimize accidents.  

  • Turn your drums into reusable containers or quickly make them ready for disposal.

  • Non-ferrous cutting wheels are available for use in flammable areas.

Dechiming Fiber Drums

  •  Wiz Kid Portable Fiber Drum Dechimer will dechime up to 25 drums per week

  • High volume Stationary Fiber Drum Dechimer will dechime more than 50 fiber drums per day.

WIZ-Kid® Ratchet Style Manual Deheader with standard cutting wheel is propelled by an adjustable 18 inch ratchet, requiring only minimal user effort that reduces the risk of back strain.

It is designed for use in remote areas where no power source is available, or when drum volume is low and a manual tool is preferred.  The manual deheader is for low to moderate steel drum volume (1—15 drums per week). The longevity of the cutting wheel depends on the gauge of the drums being deheaded. It will dehead most drums in less than two minutes.

This is the only manual deheader in the industry that leaves the drum with a burr-free edge. It can be used left or right handed. Built of durable high strength aluminum, the replaceable cutting wheel (SKU 10100) is hardened steel.

The Wiz-Kid  works on containers with a diameter of 11 3/4 inch or larger per manufacturer. BASCO does not recommended deheading 5 gallon pails, the fittings on the pail top will need to be hammered down when deheading.
