How to use the correct FIBC bulk bags?
20 years of FIBC bulk bags manufacturers share that the correct use of FIBC bulk bagss need to pay attention to the following aspects:
Before filling bags:
Choose the right FIBC bulk bags : According to the nature of the goods, weight, volume and transportation and storage requirements, choose the appropriate specifications, materials and structure of the FIBC bulk bags. For example, for goods susceptible to moisture, should choose with moisture-proof lining of the FIBC bulk bags; for anti-static requirements of the goods, need to use anti-static FIBC bulk bags.
Inspection of the FIBC bulk bags: carefully check the FIBC bulk bags whether there is damage, holes, stitching off and other issues, especially pay attention to the sling, the bottom and the mouth of the bag and other key parts. If there are defects, the FIBC bulk bags should be replaced in time to ensure the safe transportation of goods.
Bagging process:
Reasonable bagging : Load the goods into the FIBC bulk bags evenly, avoid the goods concentrated on one side or localized, resulting in uneven force on the FIBC bulk bags. For lumpy or granular goods, they should be filled and compacted as much as possible to reduce shaking and collision during transportation. In case of powdery goods, attention should be paid to prevent dust leakage, and sealed filling can be used.
Control the weight of bagging : Strictly in accordance with the rated carrying capacity of the bag filling, not overloaded. Generally speaking, the safety factor of the FIBC bulk bags is 5 – 6 times, i.e., the actual carrying weight should not exceed one-fifth to one-sixth of its rated carrying capacity. Overloading may lead to rupture of the bag during transportation or loading and unloading, resulting in loss of goods.
Seal the mouth of the bag : After bagging is completed, make sure the mouth of the bag is well sealed. This can be done by sewing, heat sealing or using sealing clips to prevent the cargo from leaking during transportation.
During loading, unloading and transportation:
Correct lifting : When using forklifts, cranes and other equipment for loading and unloading, the sling of the FIBC bulk bags should be hung evenly on the spreader to avoid slanting or unilateral force. The lifting and landing process should be smooth, avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration, to prevent the goods from shaking the FIBC bulk bags damage.
Avoid collision and friction: In the process of handling and transportation, attention should be paid to avoid collision and friction between the FIBC bulk bags and sharp objects, rough surfaces or other goods, so as not to scratch the bag. If stacked in the warehouse or yard, make sure the ground is level and free of debris.
Prevent rain and sun exposure: If stored or transported in the open air, use a waterproof tarpaulin to cover the FIBC bulk bags to prevent rain from entering the bag and causing moisture in the goods. At the same time, avoid long time exposure of the FIBC bulk bags to the sun, because ultraviolet rays will accelerate the aging of the material of the FIBC bulk bags and reduce its strength.
Storage process:
Choose a suitable storage environment : The FIBC bulk bagss should be stored in a dry, ventilated, cool warehouse, away from fire, heat and corrosive substances. The floor of the warehouse is preferably cement floor or wooden mat board to prevent the FIBC bulk bags from direct contact with the ground moisture.
Reasonable stacking: the FIBC bulk bags are neatly stacked in the warehouse, to avoid stacking too high leading to the bottom layer of the FIBC bulk bags deformed or damaged by pressure. Generally speaking, the stacking height should not exceed 5 – 6 layers. For long term storage, check the condition of the bags regularly and deal with any problems promptly.
Unpacking and recycling:
Careful dismantling of bags : When using the goods, be careful to dismantle the FIBC bulk bags, avoid using sharp tools to cut the bags, so as to facilitate the recycling of the FIBC bulk bags.
Recycling: For the no longer used FIBC bulk bagss, should be recycled in accordance with environmental requirements. If the bags can continue to use, can be cleaned, repaired and put into use again; if you can not continue to use, you can send it to a professional recycling organization for recycling, through the melting, granulation and other processes, it will be made into new plastic products.
