4 Different Types of FIBC Bags and their Uses
Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (Jumbo bags or FIBC bags) are commonly used to store and transport materials such as minerals, chemicals, building materials and more. These bags are built keeping the safety perspective in mind and are durable.Our FIBC Bags can withstand extreme weather conditions and ensure your product safety and quality.
Made from polypropylene fabric, here are the 4 different types of FIBC bags and their uses:
Regular FIBC Bags or Standards FIBC Bags
These are the most common jumbo bags that are used and have a load capacity between 500-2000 kilograms and a Safety Factor of 5:1/6:1. The dimensions can be customized as per your needs and requirements and you, therefore, must only buy these bags from reputed jumbo bags manufacturers in India. Typically, these bags are used to store and transport construction materials such as sand, gravel, powders and more.
Conductive FIBC Bags
As the name suggests, these are made from conductive fabrics with interwoven conductive yarns. During the filling and discharge process, a static charge is created around jumbo bags; conductive bags have grounding tabs which can be earthed to ensure this static charge is dissipated. These are ideal for transporting flammable powder substances.
Ventilated Bags
These bags are built with ventilated fabrics making them a great choice for food items like onions, potatoes etc. The air flows into the bag, thus preventing spoilage resulting from moisture and mold. What’s more, they also keep the food items safe during storage and transportation making them a great choice for storing these vegetables in warehouses.
UN Certified Bags
These bags are made from woven plastics both with/without coating and with/without liners. They are used to store and transport hazardous products as regulated by the UN Association or the Orange Book. These bags are also classified according to the kind of hazardous goods they can carry. These bags have to meet rigorous testing standards to ensure they can carry dangerous goods.
