FIBC

FIBC:

A flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC), bulk bag, or big bag, is an industrial container made of flexible fabric that is designed for storing and transporting dry, flowable products, such as sand, fertilizer, and granules of plastic. FIBCs are most often made of thick woven polyethylene or polypropylene, either coated or uncoated, and normally measure around 110 cm in diameter and varies in height from 100 cm up to 200 cm (39 to 79 inches). Its capacity is normally around 1000 kg or 2000 lbs, but the larger units can store even more. A bulk bag designed to transport one metric ton of material will itself only weigh 5–7 lbs.

Product Description:

Transporting and loading is done on either pallets or by lifting it from the loops. Bags are made with either one, two or four lifting loops. The single loop bag is suitable for one man operation as there is no need for a second man to put the loops on the loader hook. Emptying is made easy by a special opening in the bottom such as a discharge spout, of which there are several options, or by simply cutting it open.

Although there is disagreement on exactly where FIBCs were first made and used, it is certain that they have been employed for a variety of packaging purposes since the 1940s. These forerunners of the FIBC as we know it today were manufactured from PVC rubber and generally utilized within the rubber industry for the transportation of carbon black to be used as a reinforcing agent in a variety of rubber products

Tunnel Lift FIBC Bags, are becoming more and more popular not only in the building trade, but also in many other industries.These bags are produced with two additional side tunnels, which are designed to aid the filling, stacking and handling process, by allowing the fork-lift tines to pass through the entire width of the bag.For some filling and discharging systems, the forklift truck driver can lift up the FIBC and place it into the filling or discharging system without having to get out of the truck.Once these bag are filled its generally handled by the tunnels. These bags often allow the need to ship filled bags on pallets, hence saving the cost of pallet and reducing the impact on the environment.These bags are particularly suitable for high volume multi-lift environment due to its cost effectiveness and ease of handling.
