What is a FIBC bulk bags?

Let’s talk today, What is a FIBC bulk bags?
Definition and basic concept
Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (FIBC), also called ton bag or space bag, is a flexible, collapsible, large-scale transport packaging container, mainly used for packaging, transportation and storage of various bulk materials.

Structure and material
Structure: The container bag is generally composed of bag body, sling, inlet and outlet. The bag body is the main holding part, usually rectangular or cylindrical shape; sling is located on the top or side of the bag, used for lifting and handling; inlet and outlet are used for loading and dumping of materials, and some bags may also have special valves or sealing design to ensure that the material sealing and loading and unloading convenience.
Material: the main material is polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) and other polymer materials made of woven fabric, which has the advantages of high strength, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, moisture and so on. In order to enhance the anti-leakage performance of some container bags, a layer of plastic film will be added or coated inside the woven fabric.

Features and advantages
Large capacity: the capacity of the container bag is usually larger, generally can hold 1 ton to 3 tons of material, compared with the traditional small packages, greatly improving the efficiency of transportation and handling, reducing packaging and transportation costs.
Flexibility : It has good flexibility and foldability, in the empty bag can be folded and stored, taking up little space, easy to transport and storage. The use of different materials and transportation needs, according to the choice of different shapes and sizes of the container bag.
Economy: The use of container bags can reduce the waste of packaging materials, reduce packaging costs. At the same time, because it can realize the mechanization of loading and unloading, improve the work efficiency, shorten the turnaround time of goods, thus reducing the overall logistics costs.
Versatility : It is suitable for different types of bulk materials, such as chemical raw materials, construction materials, agricultural products, minerals and so on. Whether it is powder, granular or lump materials, can use the bag for packaging and transportation.
Safety: After strict quality inspection and performance testing, the bags have sufficient strength and stability to ensure the safety of materials during transportation and storage. Some of the bags also have anti-static, anti-ultraviolet and other special features to meet the special packaging requirements of different materials.

Application Fields
Chemical industry: Used for packing various chemical raw materials, such as plastic granules, fertilizers, soda ash, caustic soda, etc.
Construction industry: It can be loaded with cement, sand, stone and other construction materials, which is convenient for transportation and on-site use.
Agricultural field : Commonly used for packaging grain, feed, seeds and other agricultural products, convenient for storage and transportation.
Mining industry : It can contain mineral products such as ore, mineral powder, etc. It plays an important role in mining and transportation of mineral products.

Precautions for use
Loading and unloading operation ：When loading and unloading container bags, suitable lifting equipment should be used, such as forklifts, cranes, etc., and make sure that the slings and lifting equipment are firmly connected to avoid the bags falling off or rupturing during the loading and unloading process.
Stacking storage : Container bags in the stacking, should pay attention to the height and stability of the stacking, to avoid the bottom of the container bags due to high stacking deformation or rupture caused by pressure. At the same time, to avoid contact between the container bag and sharp objects, so as not to scratch the bag body.FIBC bulk bags
Storage environment: should be stored in a dry, ventilated environment, avoid direct sunlight and rain soaking, in order to prevent aging and damage to the container bag.
