IBC Tote of Polyethylene
The plastic IBC tote is a versatile and durable container that has numerous benefits. It is suitable for storing and transporting various substances, such as liquids, dry chemicals or granular material, as well as powders. These containers are designed to prevent contamination by preventing air and moisture from getting into their contents. This reduces product degradation and also saves businesses money. Additionally, the design of IBC totes allows for easy access and discharge through an integrated valve or nozzle.
The IBC tote is also easy to clean, which is particularly crucial for containers that contain potentially harmful foods or substances. The containers can be easily cleaned and sterilized with a steamer or pressure washer. In addition, the design of these containers is sturdy enough to stand up to harsh environmental conditions.
Depending on the application and the use, IBC totes are available in various sizes, materials, and designs. Rigid plastic IBC totes are made of high-density polyethylene that is safe for a range of substances and applications. These containers are available in different capacities, ranging from 275 up to 330 US gallons, and can be double-stacked to facilitate transportation. Galvanized steel caged IBC Totes are also available for industrial use. They are constructed of carbon steel, and coated with a protective galvanized coating to prevent corrosion.
Caged IBC Totes are used to store and transport hazardous and non-hazardous chemical products, as well beverage and food items. They can be stacked as high as four and come with an integrated drain valve to reduce the amount of product left after emptying. This helps in saving space in warehouses and distribution centers, and makes them easier to handle for manual operation.
Many individuals are turning to the IBC tote for home and garden use as well. For instance, they can be used as a hutch for rabbits by cutting the sides of the tank and incorporating doors. These containers can also be used to store organic waste and compost. They can also be a great choice for storing livestock water. Some people use them as a green and sustainable alternative to traditional rain barrels.
Polypropylene IBC Tote
If your business handles various chemicals and liquids, you need totes robust enough to withstand the job. IBC totes (intermediate bulk containers) are rigid industrial-grade vessels that are made with storage for chemicals and transport in mind. They are made of various materials, such as stainless steel and plastic. They are also available in various sizes and shapes. Some IBCs are designed to handle liquids, while others are able to handle solids such as grains and powders.
Poly composite IBCs are a favorite for companies who require a reusable container for non-hazardous materials. These totes are made of high-density plastic that are able to withstand various conditions. They are impervious to corrosion, which is useful when you're storing corrosive chemicals or abrasive materials. Caged IBCs are also an ideal choice for those who work with hazardous materials, as their caged structure helps to contain volatile chemicals and avoid spills or explosions.
IBCs made of stainless steel are more efficient in storing and transporting hazardous chemicals, such as toxic fluids and corrosive substances. These IBCs can withstand extremely high temperatures and are usually equipped with vents that let out the vapors in the event of a fire. They can be used for various liquids, including industrial chemicals paints and dyes pharmaceuticals, lubricants and other.
Some IBC containers come with an nozzle, valve or hose adapter, which allows them to be used to mix and dispensing. This allows you to easily dispensing your items without opening the container. This can help to ensure safety for workers, and help prevent spills or accidents that could damage your facility or harm wildlife.
Many farmers utilize IBC totes for storage and transport of water to their livestock. They are used for washing and drinking as well as for watering plants and gardens. It is crucial to ensure that any used IBC totes or tanks you purchase are food safe. If they have been previously used to store hazardous chemicals, they could release those into the water, which could cause harm to your livestock or pets.
