FIBC
Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (FIBC) is also known as the big bag, bulk bag, or super sack. It is made of a flexible fabric, designed to store and transport dry, flowable products like sand, fertiliser, and granules of plastic.
They are typically made of thick woven strands of oriented polypropylene. The fabric is sewn together to create a bag that can hold up to several thousand pounds of material. FIBCs can also be customised to meet specific product requirements in terms of size, shape, and features like spouts, liners, and lifting loops.
These bags are a versatile and convenient option for transporting and storing a wide variety of materials. These bags come in different capacities to meet varying volume requirements, typically measured in cubic metres or cubic feet.
Depending on the weight and type of material being handled, FIBC bags can range from 500 kg (1,100 lbs) to several tons in capacity. They are an excellent choice for many industries and applications.
