A flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC), also known as a jumbo, bulk bag, super sack, or big bag, is an industrial container made of a flexible fabric designed for storing and transporting dry, flowable products such as sand, fertilizer, and plastic granules.
Flexible IBC Product Information
Filling
Various filling options are available depending on the type of machinery operated and the product to be stored inside the FIBC bag. Tops may not be necessary for products of low value and are not subject to moisture damage. On the other hand, the duffel top still provides easy access but ensures the integrity of the contents. With a drawcord, the top permits airflow but still confines the product, and a cone top allows for extra filling for materials that settle in time. Filling systems (including spouts) can be attached to different accessories for full customization.
Discharge
Choosing the proper discharge option saves the end-user both time and money and improves FIBC product handling efficiency. Many customers choose not to reuse their bags; for these customers, a flat bottom which is slit to release the material, is probably the most economical option. For those who prefer some reusability, a variety of discharge options are available. Many spout options can be produced to match equipment and hygiene requirements. The covers over the tied-off spout protect products from contamination. A full-bottom discharge is also available.
