Our products
Flexible Bulk Containers serve a wide variety of dry bulk handling applications, providing clients with a multi-year durable and robust packaging and storage solution. These unique, 14 metric tons SWL, FBCs have been developed for transportation of industrial and chemical as well as agricultural and food products. They are designed in two different sizes – 13 and 6.5 cubic meters filling capacity.
Standard types
Flexible Bulk Container (FBC-A)
| Safe working load | Safety factor | Goods |
|---|---|---|
| 14,000 kg | 6:1 | Industrial & chemical products, UN/ |
This moisture resistant FBC-A, with a filling capacity of 13 cubic meters, consists of a Load-bearing Net and an Inner Liner. The net is made of polyester straps and ensures for stability. The liner is made of polyethylene fabrics with double-sided rubber coating and ensures for goods integrity, preventing spillage and soaking. The FBC is suitable for industrial and chemical dry bulk materials, incl. UN/Dangerous Goods. Provided its multimodal design, the FBC can be transported by truck, rail car and vessel, used as mobile storage unit in open space and stacked up to four tiers.
Standard types
Flexible Bulk Container (FBC-PP)
| Safe working load | Safety factor | Goods |
|---|---|---|
| 14,000 kg | 6:1 | Agricultural & food products |
The FBC-PP, with a loading capacity of 13 cubic meters, consists of a Load-bearing Net and an inner liner. The Inner Liner is made of coated polypropylene fabrics and ensures goods integrity preventing spillage. The net is made of polyester straps and ensures for stability. The FBC-PP is suitable for agricultural and food products. Provided its multimodal design the FBC can be transported by rail, vessel or truck, used as tarpaulin covered mobile storage unit in open space and stacked up to four tiers.
Standard types
Flexible Bulk Container (FBC-S)
| Safe working load | Safety factor | Goods |
|---|---|---|
| 14,000 kg | 6:1 | Industrial & chemical products |
This moisture resistant FBC-S, with a filling capacity of 6.5 cubic meters, consists of a Load-bearing Net and an Inner Liner. The net is made of polyester straps and ensures for stability. The liner is made of polyethylene fabrics with double-sided rubber coating and ensures for goods integrity, preventing spillage and soaking. The FBC is suitable for high density industrial and chemical dry bulk materials. Provided its multimodal design, the FBC can be transported by truck, rail car and vessel, used as mobile storage unit in open space and stacked up to four tiers.
UN/Dangerous goods
FBC was subjected to all test procedures according to the Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN Model Regulations). The tests were in extracts observed and protocolled by an independent expert of the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), Berlin (Germany).
Un markings
All FBCs carrying dangerous goods must be labeled with the proper UN markings. Our experienced technicians are familiar with the regulations and we’ll ensure that your FBC is correctly marked.
