SteriRad offers flexible 10-gallon and 25-gallon drum systems designed to support a wide range of production needs. The 10-gallon drum is ideal for operators running smaller batches, multiple strains, or testing different product types, allowing for greater control and workflow flexibility. The 25-gallon drum, on the other hand, is built for high-throughput cannabis decontamination, enabling facilities to process larger volumes in each cycle.

Both drum options are engineered to work seamlessly with automated rolling systems to ensure consistent dose uniformity and reliable microbial reduction across every batch. This flexibility allows cultivators and processors to tailor their setup based on production volume, labor availability, and operational goals. Whether scaling up production or optimizing existing workflows, having multiple drum configurations ensures you can maintain product quality, efficiency, and compliance without compromise.

The 25-gallon drum increases production by allowing operators to process more material per cycle, reducing the total number of runs needed to meet output goals. Fewer cycles mean less loading and unloading, which directly lowers labor demands and improves overall workflow efficiency.

By consolidating larger volumes into each run, facilities can streamline operations, reduce handling time, and move product through the decontamination process faster. This not only boosts throughput, but also helps standardize processing, making it easier to maintain consistent results across large batches.

In high-volume operations, this translates to meaningful gains in productivity—helping teams reduce labor costs, increase daily output, and improve operational efficiency while still achieving reliable microbial reduction and maintaining product quality.

The AutoRoll system gently rotates the drum during processing, allowing for even distribution of exposure throughout the material. This ensures consistent dose delivery, improving microbial control while maintaining product integrity and reducing variability between batches.

Drum systems are designed to enable high-throughput processing by allowing bulk quantities of flower to be treated efficiently. They minimize manual handling, streamline workflow, and support scalable operations, making them essential for commercial facilities focused on productivity and consistency.

No. SteriRad accessories are specifically designed to handle flower gently, using a combination of drum-based containment and slow, consistent movement to protect product quality throughout the process.

The 10-gallon and 25-gallon drum systems keep the material contained and evenly distributed, reducing the need for manual handling that can lead to breakage or compression. At the same time, the AutoRoll system provides a controlled, gradual rotation—not aggressive tumbling—so the flower is moved just enough to ensure even exposure without causing physical stress.

This slow, consistent movement is key. It allows for proper dose uniformity and microbial reduction while maintaining the integrity of the buds. There is no harsh agitation, no sudden shifting, and no excessive contact that could damage trichomes or structure.

The drum is 40cm

Yes, you can safely run a decontamination cycle even if the drum isn’t completely full. To maintain consistent X-ray treatment for cannabis, we recommend using inert filler materials—such as bubble wrap—to help center and stabilize the product inside the drum.

If you wish to put product directly on the shelf, we will need to work with you to input dose settings.
