/9 Comments/in /by

It is important that FIBC bags are handled properly at every stage, right from filling, storage, to transportation. In order to fill FIBCs safely and successfully, the following guidelines should be followed. Besides, any other safe filling instructions pertaining to a specified product or facility should be adhered to.

  1. Before the filling begins, ensure the empty FIBCs and lines are kept clean and stored undercover so that the extreme climatic conditions such as exposure to rain or sunlight and other accidental damage is avoided.
  2. There should not be any visual damage on the FIBC that might compromise its strength.
  3. If there is a discharge spout in FIBC, it should be closed or tied off before filling as per FIBC manufacturer’s instructions.
  4. The product being filled in the FIBC should be compatible with the FIBC and its components.
  5. While filling the FIBCs, the base of the bag should be supported by the ground or pallet, while its body should be supported by the top lift device.
  6. Ensure that the FIBCs are not standing in water.
  7. The FIBC should be filled evenly and remain stable during the entire filling process.
  8. The device being used to support or suspend a filled FIBC should be of sufficient strength capacity.
  9. The bulk bag should be suspended using all the lift loops, sleeves, etc in accordance to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  10. The crane hooks or bars that are used for lifting the FIBCs should not have any sharp edges or protrusions.
  11. The fill spout of the bulk bag should be closed as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
  12. A filled FIBC should be raised and lowered smoothly.
  13. The filling environment needs to be appropriate for FIBC usage (e.g. explosive and flammable environment).
  14. Ensure all personnel are safe from any potential hazard.
  15. The FIBC needs to be approved for the product and must adhere to all applicable safety and regulatory requirements.
  16. FIBCs should be covered with UV protected, waterproof material so that water doesn’t collect on top of the bulk bag, as well as to prevent damage from direct sunlight.
  17. The safe working load (SWL) per rated capacity should not exceed the limit for the specified FIBC.
  18. The FIBC bags should be filled to only that level that doesn’t affect its stability adversely or exceeds the height to width restriction mentioned in applicable industry standards. A standard maximum ratio is 2:1; however current industry standards and regulatory codes should be referenced.
  19. Never allow any personnel to come under a suspended FIBC as it can be dangerous to life.
  20. Ensure all safety precautions and measures are taken while filling and lifting FIBCs.

FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) bags are environment-friendly industrial containers that are made of flexible fabric and designed for storage and transportation of non-hazardous flowing and granulated products such as sand, fertilizers, chemicals, plastic granules, etc.

These FIBC bags have been revolutionary in the way the heavy quantity products are stored and transported. Besides reducing time spent in packaging and storage, these bulk bags are much easier and safe to transport as well, keeping the products intact, making them suitable for transportation in domestic as well as international markets.

The FIBC bags are helping companies in cost reduction in a big way.

  1. Transport and storage cost: The FIBC bags do not require pallets as each one has integral lifting loops. There is no need for secondary packaging also as these bags are strong and safe on their own. This saves the cost of extra packaging and the material can be transported safely from one place to the other.
  2. Reusability: The FIBC bags are reusable, which means the same bag can be used to transport and store the goods over and over (provided it meets the reuse guidelines and is cleaned and reconditioned regularly). This helps in cutting costs on buying multiple containers and bags. These bags can also be folded flat taking up minimal space when not in use. This way, the companies do not have to keep extra storage space just for these container bags.
  3. Can carry large quantity in one go: Designed to carry a huge load in one single time, FIBC bags helps in cost cutting in terms of buying multiple bags carrying limited amount of load.
  4. Available in variable dimensions: FIBC bags come in a variety of designs and styles, each with a selection of multiple features. The various styles include Food grade, 4-panel, U-panel, baffle with fabrics ranging from coated, uncoated, conductive, color options, top features being open top, duffle top, cone top, etc. and bottom design ranging from flat bottom, discharge spout, closure, full bottom discharge, etc. This variety in choice allows companies to get a bulk bag best suited for their product.
  5. Simple to use and cost effective: The FIBC bags are very simple to handle, fill, store, and transport, not requiring any kind of special training for their usage, which makes it a totally cost effective product.
  6. An array of filling, lifting and discharging facilities: All these bags are designed in such a way that it suits the company requirements of filling, lifting and discharging the product from the bag.
  7. Enduring strength: One of the best features of these bags is their strength and endurance making them a hit for carrying large volumes of goods and store them efficiently.
