FIBC’s are one of the most cost effective and ideal types of packing for shipping and storing dry bulk products. Big bags are produced from either tubular or flat polypropylene (PP) woven fabrics. These fabrics can be both coated or uncoated and vary in different weights depending on the requirements of the State Working Load (SWL), or Safety Factor (SF).
An FIBC can be as simple as an open top with a flat base used commonly within the building industry or as a high tech unit produced within a clean room production environment to be used for the food/pharmaceutical industries.
Most importantly, each FIBC is manufactured to meet a customer’s specific requirements.
Standaard bigbag-types zijn beschikbaar voor een laadvermogen van 100 tot 2500 kg en kunnen volgens de EN ISO 21898:2005-regelgeving worden vervaardigd als 5:1 (eenmalig gebruik), 6:1 (meervoudig gebruik) of UN (Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods) in overeenstemming met de certificaten die zijn uitgegeven door gerenommeerde internationale testhuizen.
Vultuit & Lostuit & open bovenkant, gesloten bodem etc.
Flessenvormige voering met lip, 4+4, voering met lijm, voeringstiksel aan de bovenkant enz.
The Q Big bag design is constructed utillising inner baffles which help to maintain the cubic form once the FIBC has been filled. These baffles are manufactured speciality to allow the material to flow into the corners of the bag.
Because of this design and cubic shape of the Q bag which requires less storage space and reduces transportation costs up to 30% in comparion with a standard big bag
One and two loop FIBC’s are less complicated and more economical in comparisen with the four loop FIBC’s. They are produced from tubular body fabrics to obtain a higher breaking strength within the fabric.
The top lifting points are wrapped with sleeves which can be manufactured in different colours for ease of product indification. Coloured sleeves also make de lifting points highly visible for truck operators enabling easy handling of bags by ether a hook or a fork.
The most commonly used design is normally uncoated with an open top and PE liner insert, although, coating designs are also available with spouted tops. Base designs vary greatly depending on the application; these include square base design only. For manual filling application, bags are press bailed and packed on pallets; however, bags can also be wound on rolls to be used on automatic filling stations if required.
Potato bags are produced out of ventilated Polypropylene (PP) woven fabrics. These fabrics are specially designed to permit the required air flow through the fabric into the bag.
A duffel, or flap is often used as top closure, and a bottom spout is utilissed as a discharge facility.
For potato seeds, PP netting is used on two side panels to allow greater air permabillity.
