Key Features of Our New IBC Containers

When it comes to safe and efficient liquid storage, our new IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) options deliver superior performance. Let’s take a closer look at the standout features that make them a trusted choice across industries.

Capacity: 1000 Litres for Versatile Use

Each container is designed to hold up to 1000 litres of liquid, making it ideal for bulk storage and transport. This capacity is sufficient to meet the needs of industries ranging from food and beverages to agriculture and chemicals. Whether you’re transporting drinking water or hazardous substances, these IBC tanks provide ample space while maintaining efficiency.

If you’re dealing with smaller quantities, consider using the 1000L capacity to consolidate storage and reduce handling time.

Material Construction: Durability and Strength

The new IBC containers for sale here are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a material prized for its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. This plastic is translucent, allowing you to easily monitor the contents inside.

Adding to this durability is a fully galvanised steel cage that encases the container, providing structural integrity and additional protection during handling, transport, or storage.

HDPE is not only resistant to most chemicals but also UV-stabilised, making it suitable for outdoor storage when needed.

Pallet Base: Stability and Handling Made Easy

Each container is mounted on a sturdy metal pallet, ensuring secure handling and stability. The metal base is designed for easy manoeuvring with forklifts or pallet jacks, making it simple to transport large volumes safely and efficiently. This reduces the risk of spills or damage, even in high-volume operations.

Metal pallets outperform wood and plastic alternatives when it comes to durability under heavy loads, offering added value for businesses requiring frequent transport.

UN Certification: Safe Handling of Hazardous Materials

Our new IBC containers for sale are UN-approved, meaning they meet stringent international standards for the storage and transport of hazardous substances. This certification guarantees that the containers are safe, reliable, and compliant with regulatory requirements, providing peace of mind for businesses that handle sensitive or dangerous materials.

Always confirm the compatibility of your stored materials with the IBC’s specifications to ensure maximum safety and performance.

Applications Across Industries

Our new IBC containers are versatile and adaptable, making them essential tools in a wide variety of industries. Here’s how different sectors benefit from their use:

Food and Beverage Industry

For businesses handling consumables like drinking water, milk, oils, or syrups, the food-grade IBC container is an indispensable asset. The BPA-free HDPE construction ensures that the stored liquid remains uncontaminated and safe for consumption.

For businesses storing multiple types of consumables, make sure you label your new IBC tanks clearly to avoid cross-contamination.

Chemical Industry

Safety is paramount when storing or transporting chemicals, and our UN-approved IBC tanks are up to the task. Their robust design minimises the risk of leaks or spills, even with corrosive substances.

Always conduct a compatibility check between the chemicals being stored and the HDPE material to prevent adverse reactions.

Agriculture

Farmers and agribusinesses rely on IBC containers for the efficient storage of liquid fertilisers, pesticides, and other agricultural solutions. The large capacity reduces the frequency of refills, saving time and effort during busy seasons.

Consider using IBC containers with level indicators to monitor the remaining volume at a glance.

Maintenance Tips for Longevity

To ensure your IBC containers remain in excellent condition and deliver long-term value, follow these maintenance practices:

Regular Cleaning

After each use, thoroughly clean your IBC container using approved cleaning agents (or make use of our cleaning services). This is particularly important when switching between different liquids to prevent contamination.

Inspect for Damage

Routinely check the valves, caps, and steel cage for signs of wear and tear. Addressing small issues early can prevent costly repairs or replacements down the line.

Proper Storage

Store IBC containers in shaded areas to protect them from UV exposure, which can weaken the plastic over time. For black-coated models, this is less of a concern, but all IBCs benefit from being kept in cool, dry environments.

Schedule periodic maintenance checks, especially if the container is used to store hazardous chemicals, as these checks help to ensure compliance with safety standards.

Environmental Impact

Choosing new IBC containers isn’t just good for your business—it’s good for the planet. These containers are fully recyclable, reducing waste and contributing to a more sustainable supply chain. Their reusability also lowers the demand for single-use packaging, which is a win for businesses aiming to reduce their carbon footprint.

When retiring an IBC, check for local recycling facilities that accept HDPE and steel components to ensure proper disposal.
