Flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) is a bulk container used for storing many types of dry products like fertilizers, granules etc. It varies in size and capacity. Different types of FIBC are available in market. UNO, EVA, BOB, GAP etc. UNO is universal type for lots of applications. Each type has its own property.
Talking about history of FIBC, it was first used in 1940 and that too for packaging purpose. In 1970s FIBC was used for transporting large quantities of cements to feed vast building programmed.
Going to the construction point of view for FIBC we have U panel construction, circular construction, baffle construction, four side panel construction and round construction.
Many lifting options including cross corner lifting loop, corner lifting loops, four loops, two loops, sling loop, full loops are available.
As already discussed much of its usage is in builder bags or sand bags and non food grade bags.
Talking about the electrostatic properties in type A we have no special electrostatic safety features, Type B is Made of plain non antistatic pp or polypropylene.Type B bags are literally not capable of producing propagating brush discharges.The wall of FIBC shows a breakdown volt of 4 kvs or less., Type C is conductive FIBC which has electrically conductive fabric. These are constructed from highly electrical conductive fabric. highly standard fabric is used which contains very high conductive threads. and type D is anti static FIBC ie without earthling. More about type D FIBC's, they essentially are examples of those bags which have anti-static or static dissipative cases and properties. Without any requirement of earthling.
FIBC is Also known by big bag color : as bulk bag or container and it can carry up to 1100 times its own weight. If you are looking for In depth analysis of FIBC and FIBC products.
