What does FIBC mean?
A flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC), jumbo, bulk bag, super sack, big bag, or tonne 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.
What is a Type B bulk bag?
Type B bulk bags are constructed from insulating fabric with a low breakdown voltage. These bags prevent propagating brush discharges and safely transport dry, flammable powders with an MIE of >3mj. Type B bulk bags are completely customizable.
How do you calculate the weight of a FIBC bag?
Multiply the weight of your product by the volume to find out how much weight will be in the bag. remember: Custom bagss can hold up to 4,000 lbs.
What is FIBC liner?
Liners in FIBC Bags protect the goods from contamination, moisture, and oxygen. The poly liners serve as efficient moisture vapor barrier to protect fine powdery products and work well to retain moisture or oil– or to block moisture out.
What is Type A FIBC bags?
Type A FIBCs are made of plain-woven polypropylene and other non-conductive fabrics. Static electricity is generated as products move over or rub against the inside surface of the bulk bag when they are filled/emptied. There is no static protection provided by Type A FIBCs.
How are poly bag sizes measured?
Poly bags come in varying sizes. Finding the correct bag size for your product can be difficult….Polybag size calculator
- Width (W) of bag = width of box + 1”
- Depth (D) of bag = depth of box + 1”
- Length (L) of bag = height of box + depth of box + 6” to allow coverage of box contents.
How do you calculate bag capacity?
In general, bulk bags follow the basic formula for volume: volume equals length times width times height. Under this formula, a 35-inch by 35-inch by 35-inch bag can hold about 42,875 cubic inches, or 25 cubic feet, of material. Bags with larger dimensions offer increased capacity.
What is a Type B FIBC?
Type B FIBCs are similar to Type A bulk bags in that they are made of plain-woven polypropylene fabrics or other non-conductive material. Also like Type A bulk bags, Type B bags do not have any mechanism for dissipating static electricity.
How are FIBC made?
The melted resin forms PP sheets that are stretched by rollers, then cut. The tapes are then wound onto bobbins to start the weaving process which will create the FIBC fabric. The fabric weaving is performed on special looms to make either circular shaped bags or U-panels for the various other FIBC bag styles.
