Your Guide Into IBC Totes

By Douglas Kennedy


IBC stands for Intermediate bulk container. IBC Totes is a reusable industrial container that lets you transport and store bulk liquids and granulated substances. These can be stacked to one another and is designed to move using a pallet jack or a forklift. They are not called intermediate for no reason, their volume range is between drums and tanks.

You get to customize it into your own set of standards. The dimension and capacity can be minimized or maximize according to your liking and depending on to the cargo you will be using this for. However, there is a certain standard on how far can you customize it and that depends on which country are you living in.

This have many advantages. Due to its cubic form, you will be able to transport more material in one go compared to packing it on small containers. For manufacturers, they can bulk package products to a country and then ship it into other countries for a very reasonable price in another type of packaging.

This equipment can ship and store various things such dangerous goods and materials which are hazardous. For industrial production, you may put your raw materials inside. Food ingredients can be allowed too just as long as they are liquified, powdered and granulated. Any types of food syrups will do. Solvents and detergents are okay too, including rain water.

The only thing you might be considering is the price since this cost a bit higher than the rest of the containers, but it is worth the money though. When you want to save some cash, why not buy those secondhand ones instead. You may buy a new bottle with a washed cage or both the bottle and cage are only washed and is already second hand.

A good place to look for resellers is the internet. They are even offering it for a much cheaper price compared to physical stores. You do not have to go anywhere, you simply need your device and internet connection and you may start searching for it wherever you wanted, which makes it convenience.
