FIBC Bulk Bags

FIBC bulk bags are used throughout North America, in virtually every industry
Ingredient Masters serves.   They are easy to handle, and are a space-saving
alternative to boxes and totes.  FIBC bulk bags are more hygienic than other
alternatives, so they are a leading choice for food, chemical and similar processes.

FIBC bulk bags lower operations costs, because they are simpler to handle
and involve less labor.  And they have a lower cost for disposal.  FIBC bulk bags
are a proven way to reduce raw material losses. 

FIBC bulk bags are suitable for road, railway or container shipments. 
At a time when virtually all major manufacturers are committed to sustainability,
they are also a very "green" alternative, since FIBC bags can usually be reused, 
and are always recyclable.

Ingredient Masters systems all use FIBC bags; the best alternatives
are manufactured by Interbulk and King Bag.  Here are some key points,
and options regarding the Interbulk design:

• These FIBC bags are available in circular woven and U-panel styles.
  Baffles can be added to enhance strength and shape.   

• Construction is heavy-duty UV-treated woven polypropylene in
  fabric weights to meet user requirements for tensile strength,
  and Safe Working Load (SWL) standards.

• FIBC bags can be supplied with a heat-bonded polypropylene
  lamination bonded to the inside material. This helps prevent the
  loss of fine particle materials that could occur during sifting.

• A band of polypropylene handle material is stitched to the outer
  upper edge of the body of the polypropylene bags to reinforce the
  handle attachment. This option is recommended for bulk bags with
  an SWL of 4000 lbs. or heavier.

• B-locks ("cord locks") provide secure closure, and facilitate release
  of bag contents. They are recommended for polypropylene bags with
  a high SWL, because their closure and release properties help prevent
  worker injury. B-locks are also used on bulk bags that are handled
  repeatedly, because they provide greater durability than standard
  tie straps.

• Wear sleeves protect against friction wear from frequent handling.
  A tube of coated fabric is sewn around handle material to protect lifting
  points from damage from forklifts and other handling devices. This option
  is ideal for multi-use and high weight capacity FIBC bags.

• There are several weights of polyethylene liners for products that require
  protection against moisture, and fine particle products.

• Dust-proof seams prevent sifting leakage of powdered or fine
  granular products. They also guard against dust contamination
  from outside the FIBC.  

• Food grade FIBC bags are manufactured in a facility rated superior
  by the American Institute of Baking.

• Stenciling, silk-screening and Tyvek labels are available for identification
  and warnings purposes.  Document pouches and weights can be
  provided for custom FIBC bags.
