An introduction to IBC tank
IBC ton barrel refers to IBC intermediate bulk container. It is an essential tool for modern storage and transportation of liquid products. The container is composed of an inner container and a metal frame. The inner container is blow-molded with high molecular weight and high density polyethylene, which has high strength, corrosion resistance and good hygiene.
Internationally, it is called IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container, Intermediate Bulk Container);
In China, it has many names: plastic container barrels, ton-packed square barrels, ton-packed container barrels, kiloliter barrels, IBC barrels, IBC container barrels...
But there is no doubt that it is the big trend of liquid packaging in the world.
Origin of the IBC tank
In 1974, the world's first IBC plastic container was born...
In the 1990s, IBC plastic containers became the most popular liquid packaging containers in the world, which are widely used in the filling and transportation of various liquids, viscous materials and powders...
In July 1997, the United Nations passed the "International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code" (IMDG CODE), and IBC plastic container barrels are specified as the designated packaging containers for ocean shipping of dangerous goods in countries around the world...
In October 1997, Asia's first IBC plastic container was born in Shanhai Container, and since then began the hard development of China's IBC market...
In 2003, IBC plastic containers sold well all over the country, and more and more enterprises chose IBC containers to pack various chemical, food, medicine, oil and other products.
Today, IBC plastic containers have successfully occupied more than 60% of the domestic IBC market, and will continue to be the leader and promoter of the liquid packaging trend.
The advantages of IBC ton barrels are as follows:
(1) More economical. The use of container barrel packaging can greatly reduce the cost of production, storage, transportation and operation. The cost reduction is not only reflected in the reduction of product prices, but also in the saving of manpower and material resources in the entire packaging process. Whether it is in stacking space (can save 35% of space), loading and unloading (convenient loading and unloading of forklifts, greatly reducing the trouble of manual handling), transportation (specially designed for container transportation, especially suitable for various container transportation) , Use (up to three years of service life, can be used repeatedly), IBC plastic container greatly reduces the cost, is your most economical packaging choice.
(2) More secure. The ibc barrel is easy to use, economical and durable. With the development of internationalization, the ibc barrel has gradually become the mainstream product of liquid packaging, which can contain Class II and III dangerous goods. Safety has become the primary feature of IBC plastic containers, both in product design and in production. IBC plastic container with HDPE (high density polyethylene) inner tank and rigid frame has higher strength and better chemical resistance, can hold liquids with specific gravity up to 2.2, and is widely suitable for Class II and Class III hazards Packaging, shipping and storage of chemicals.
(3) More environmentally friendly. The bottom of the product is equipped with a drain valve, which is convenient, rapid, thorough, safe, and easy to clean. Good chemical resistance and long service life allow IBC plastic containers to be used repeatedly, and each component can be recycled and reused, which makes it more environmentally friendly and becomes a new generation of liquid packaging containers.
(4) More professional. The product structure is reasonable, firm and sturdy. It can be directly loaded and unloaded by forklifts, and can be stacked and stored. The combined design enables each component to be professionally produced and can be replaced at any time. Various optional components greatly increase the individuality of the container. degree to meet the ever-changing requirements of customers.
