FIBCs FLEXIBLE INTERMEDIATE BULK CONTAINER
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://www.wikipedia.org/
FIBCs is a standardized container in large dimensions for storing and transporting dry,
flowable products, for example sand, fertilizers , and granules of plastics.
FIBCss are most often made of thick woven polyethylene or polypropylene, either coated or uncoated,
and normally measure around 110 cm or 45-48 inches in diameter and varies in height from 100 cm up to 200 cm or 35 to 80 inches.
Its capacity is normally around 1000 kg or 2000 lbs, but the larger units can store even more. The average bulk bag made to
ship one metric ton can weigh between 5-7 lbs.
Transporting and loading is done on either pallets or by lifting it from the loops. Bags are made with either one, two or four
lifting loops. The single loop bag is suitable for one man operation as there is no need for a second man to put the loops on the
loader hook. Emptying is made easy by a special opening in the bottom such as a discharge spout, of which there are several options,
or by simply cutting it open.
