Liquid Bulk Container-IBC are stackable containers mounted on a pallet designed to be moved using a forklift or a pallet jack. IBCs have a volume range that runs between drums and tanks, hence the term “intermediate”.
Commonality
The most common Liquid Bulk Container-IBC is the one-time use plastic composite IBC a white/translucent plastic container (typically polyethylene) housed within a tubular galvanized iron cage that is attached to a pallet. IBC makes many materials depending upon the needs of the shipper and the legal requirements that must be met. In addition to the plastic composite IBC, intermediate bulk containers are fiberboard, wood, heavy gauge plastic, aluminum, carbon steel, and galvanized iron. Heavy-gauge plastic IBCs are reinforced plastic that requires no steel cage; they have a pallet molded into the bottom so the entire unit is a single piece.
Folding IBCs are heavy plastic. Their sides fold inward when the unit is empty allowing the IBC to collapse into a much smaller package for return shipment or storage. Flexible intermediate bulk containers, made of woven polyethylene or polypropylene bags, are for storing or transporting dry, flowable products, such as sand, fertilizer, and plastic granules. Almost all rigid IBC designs are so they can be stacked vertically one atop the other using a forklift. Most have a built-in tap (valve, spigot, or faucet) at the base of the container to which hoses can be attached, or through which the contents can be poured into smaller containers.
