I have several food grade 55 gallon drums that have had food ingredients in them.





They have been rinsed out and then fill with city water about 1/3 way and 2 cups of bleach added.





I then roll them around and let them sit a couple days.





I then roll them around again and empty them.





I get as much water as I can by tipping upside down and shacking the drum, but it still leave  maybe a cup or so of water in the drum





Whats the best way to dry out the residual water?





I put cheese cloth over the open bungs so that nothing can fly/crawl/drop in the drums.





I am thinking about selling them to other preppers for like 20-30 bucks a pop.





I thought about put a blow dryer on low heat into one of the bungs, and let it vent out the other...................Wife does not want to sacrifice her blow dryer for the experiment!!!





Any of you guys have a better way?

 

I open both bungs.

I was thinking compressed air.

Make sure you empty your compressor tank of water first, or you could be spraying water in there

 

I guess I over engineered it...............Keep It Simple Stupid!!



Tilting and swabbing out with paper towels seems the cheapest low tech way without contamination!!



Thanks guys!!

The benefit of living in the hot dry desert is I just open the bungs and let the water evaporate.

as above, tilt, paper towels or fresh newspapers then use  your vacuum exhaust to dry it out..no sacrifice,,your wife probably hates the vacuum...

This is exactly what I did except I put it on high heat. Even on high it took a couple hours to get the drums bone dry. Otherwise it worked perfectly.

If the wife doesn't want to give her hair dryer up, just swing by your nearest Goodwill or other thrift store. Guarantee you can find one for a couple bucks. That's where I get all of my blow dryers I use for projects and clothes irons for sealing Mylar.
