In modern society , so many famous logistics companies are exploring how to deliver the goods by effectively ,We usually provide two main transportation and storage ways, IBC and FIBC. It is general for most of people to confuse these two storage and transportation methods. So today, let's see the differences between IBC and FIBC.
IBC means Intermediate Bulk Container. It is generally said a container drum , also known as a composite medium bulk container. It has normally three specifications 820L, 1000L, and 1250L, well known as ton packaging plastic container barrels. The IBC container can be recycled so multiple times, and the advantages demonstrated in filling, storage, and transportation can obviously save some costs. Compared to round drums, IBC containerized drums can reduce 30% of storage space. Its size follows international standards and is based on the principle of easy operation. Static empty barrels can be stacked four layers high and transported in any normal way.
IBC with PE liners are the best choice for shipping, storage, and dispensing large volumes of liquids. These IBC containers are a perfect solution for industrial applications where having clean storage and transport is important.The liners can be used for many times ,which will reducer the cost for shipping.
IBC ton container can widespread use in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food raw materials, daily chemical, petrochemical, and so on. They are used for the storage and transportation of various fine chemical, medical, daily chemical, petrochemical powder substances and liquids.
FIBC is called flexible container bags, it also has many names , just like ton bags, space bags, etc. Jumbo bag is as a packaging material for scattered materials, the main production raw material for container bags is polypropylene. After mixing some stable condiments, they are melted into plastic films through an extruder. After a series of processes such as cutting, stretching, heat setting, spinning, coating, and stitching, they are finally made into bulk bags.
FIBC bags mostly deliver and transport some block, granular or powdered items, and the physical density and looseness of the contents also have a significant effect on the overall results. For the basis of judging the performance of bulk bags, it is necessary to conduct tests as close as possible to the products that the customer needs to load. In fact, the ton bags that pass the lifting test will be good, therefore big bag with high quality and meet customer’s demand can be used widely for more and more companies .
Bulk bag is a soft and flexible transportation packaging container that can be used with a crane or forklift to achieve high efficient transportation. Adopting this kind of packaging is not only beneficial for improving loading and unloading efficiency, but is in particular applied for packaging bulk powder and granular goods, promoting the standardization and serialization of bulk packaging, reducing transportation expense, and also has advantages such as simple packaging, storage, and reduce cost.
Especially applied for mechanized operations, it is good choice for storage, packaging, and transportation. It can be widely applied in the transportation and packaging of powdered, granular, and block shaped items such as food, grains, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and mineral products.
In summary, both of these are carriers for transporting products, and the difference is that IBC is mainly used to transport liquids, chemicals, fruit juices, etc. The transportation cost is relatively high, but it can be reused by replacing the inner bag. FIBC bag is generally used for the transportation of bulk goods such as particles and solid packaging. Big Bags are usually disposable, making full use of space and reducing transportation costs.
