Hobart Brothers (Troy, OH) is introducing its 900-lb. recyclable X-Pak for metal-cored welding wire. The new X-Pak, which measures 35 in. tall and 23 in. in diameter, comprises 100% recyclable fiber. The company offers five types of metal-cored wire in the new 900-lb. drum, in .045- and .052-in. diameters.

Compared to standard 600-lb. drums, the 900-lb. X-Pak minimizes changeovers by approximately 33%. The X-Pak is packaged and shipped on individual skids, rather than on larger skids. An optional, overhead lifting device (part #FDL-C), which works on a CAM action that stabilizes the drum, is also available to expedite handling during transport. A 23-in. chime-less cone (part #WW10231F-DP) allows the entire drum to be recycled and lessens costs for chime removal and overall drum disposal.
