INTRODUCTION
Bulk Bags, also known as (FIBCs) Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers are a wonderful way for transportation and storage of powders or flakes or other products which can freely flow.
A FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) commonly referred to as a “Bulk Bag”, “Big Bag” or “Tote” is an intermediate bulk container, having a body made of a flexible woven material (typically polypropylene), which • Is handled mechanically by fork lift trucks, cranes or hoists when filled.
• Is designed to be lifted from the top by means of integral, permanently attached devices (lift loops, stevedores or sleeves).
• Is intended for shipment of solid material in powder, flake, or granular form.
• Does not require further packaging The dimensions, handling, filling, discharging and barrier features of a FIBC can be customized based on the needs of the customer. FIBCs typically hold anywhere from 1000 – 4000 lbs (500 – 2000 kg) of product.
FIBCs are most often made of thick woven polyethylene or polypropylene, either coated or uncoated, and normally measure around 45–48 inches (114–122 cm) in diameter and varies in height from 100 to 200 cm (39 to 79 inches). Its capacity is normally around 1,000 kg or 2,200 lb, but the larger units can store even more. A bulk bag designed to transport one metric ton (0.98 long tons; 1.1 short tons) of material will itself only weigh 5–7 lb (2.3–3.2 kg).
FIBCs are commonly used for dry flowable products such as, but not limited to grains, seeds, salts, powdered coatings, sands, clays, cements, ferro alloys and resins. They are frequently used in the food, pharmaceutical, agricultural and chemical industries.
FIBCs can be used with or without liners depending on the needs of the product and the distribution environment. Should a liner be needed, there are two basic styles of liners:
• Tubular: A liner with no spouts or contours, it is a straight cylinder, which may or may not have one end heat-sealed.
• Form Fit: Designed to take the exact shape of the FIBC. Form-Fit Liners will allow improved filling and complete discharging of product. Unlike a basic “tube liner”, Form-Fit Liners offer a flat top and bottom and incorporate a spout diameter and length to best compliment the FIBC’S fill and discharge spouts.
Both of these liners can be loosely inserted or secured with ties, tabs or glue. Liners can also provide antistatic or barrier properties such as oxygen, moisture or UV.
A coated bag incorporates an interior or exterior layer of polypropylene (PP) to reduce moisture intrusion or sifting of the contents. Also called non-breathable or laminated fabric/bags. The uncoated FIBC has no poly coating.
A type of FIBC construction that provides resistance from product sifting when the bag is filled with very fine materials. Also referred to as “Sift-proof’ construction. This typically utilizes coated fabric and filler cord in the sew lines. Commonly used in combination with a coating or an interior liner.
A feature of an FIBC fabric that provides protection from prolonged exposure to the sun’s degrading UV rays. An additive blended with the resin prior to extrusion of the yarns to provide this protection. UV protection performance should be evaluated per the procedures set forth in the ISO 21898 standard.
