Chinese name: IBC ton tank
English name: IBC TANK
Colloquialism: Tons of tank, tons of packaging, kiloliter tank
Advantages: Light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance
Application: Chemical, pharmaceutical, food, coatings, grease, etc
Properties: IBC Intermediate Bulk Container

IBC tanks are a type of container widely used in industrial and commercial fields for storing and transporting liquids or bulk items. IBC stands for Intermediate Bulk Container, which is a medium bulk container. It is usually made of plastic and has certain standards and specifications.

The standards for IBC tank mainly include the following aspects:

1. Capacity: The capacity of IBC tank is usually 1000 liters, or 1000L. This capacity is common in various countries and regions, and can conveniently store and transport large amounts of liquids or bulk items.

2. External dimensions: There are also certain standards for the external dimensions of IBC tank. Typically, the external dimensions of a standard IBC tank are approximately

1200mm long, 1000mm wide, and 1165mm high. This size design can make IBC tank more stable and convenient during stacking and transportation.

3. Material: IBC tanks are generally made of plastic materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) . These materials have good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and impact resistance, which can effectively protect the liquid or items inside the container.

4. Structure: IBC tank are usually composed of a top screw cap or piston type opening, a bottom discharge port, and an overall frame. This structural design can facilitate loading, unloading, and filling of liquids or items, while also facilitating sealing and stability during transportation.

Advantage

By using container packaging, the chief mate can reduce production, storage, transportation, and operating costs. Save a lot of manpower and material resources. Compared to traditional packaging, storage can save 35% of space, and loading and unloading can be carried out using forklifts, reducing the many troubles of manual handling. Filling: 1000L tank =5 piece 200L drums, reducing the trouble of repeated operations during the filling process and avoiding waste such as material leakage and spillage.

In summary, IBC TANK are convenient to use, economical and durable. With the development of internationalization, IBC TANK have gradually become the mainstream product of liquid packaging. It can hold Class II and III dangerous goods, with a maximum liquid density of 1.5g/cm3 for Class II dangerous goods and 1.8g/cm3 for Class III dangerous goods. The product structure is reasonable, firm and sturdy, and can be directly loaded and unloaded by forklift, and can be stacked for storage. The bottom of the product is equipped with a drain valve, which facilitates, quickly, thoroughly, and safely discharging the liquid. It is easy to clean, can be reused multiple times, saves energy, and is beneficial for environmental protection

IBC TANK is designed to adapt to the packaging, storage, and transportation of various liquid products in accordance with international maritime safety regulations, relevant national laws and regulations, and industry standards. This product is formed with good hygiene, comprehensive mechanical and physical properties, and inherent mechanical principles. The product ensures corrosion resistance to acids, alkalis, oils, and other liquids, and has advantages such as transportation, convenient use, and safe storage. It is suitable for highways, railways, and other industries Water (sea) transportation is more suitable for standard container exports. This product can be widely used in liquid manufacturing industries such as petrochemicals, dyes, intermediates, pesticides, brewing, daily chemicals, beverages, etc. It is used as a storage and transportation packaging for Class II and below dangerous goods and ordinary liquid products.

IBC TANK is blow molded using ultra-high molecular weight high-density polyethylene (HWHDPE). Axial and radial wall thickness control is used to ensure that the wall thickness of the container is relatively uniform at the symmetrical part. UV resistant agents are added to the raw material of ultra-high molecular weight high-density polyethylene (HWHDPE) to prevent aging of the container liner. There is a liquid level mark on the side of the container for easy filling. The discharge valve is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP), and is connected to the container inner liner with screw teeth. EPDM or fluororubber (FPM) is used to adapt to the corrosion resistance of various liquid products. The valve handle is equipped with safety screws to prevent accidental opening. The valve outlet is equipped with an inner cover and sealing ring, and is fixed externally with a threaded cover as the secondary seal of the valve to prevent valve leakage. The upper part of the container inner liner is a filling port with a diameter of 140mm, which is connected to the filling port cover with a diameter of 160mm thread and sealed with EPDM or FPM sealing rings. The filling cover is equipped with a sampling cover and anti-theft cover to facilitate sampling. The filling cover and sampling cover are sealed with EPDM or FPM sealing rings. The anti-theft cover uses a disposable buckle and tear type anti-theft cover. An efficient pressure reducing valve is installed in the middle cover of the cover to release the gas volatilized by the liquid product or the pressure change caused by the volume change of the air in the upper part of the container during thermal expansion and contraction. The pressure reducing valve uses a breathable film to block the liquid through the air, and the pressure reducing valve and the sampling cover are sealed tightly with a taper. The container cannot withstand internal pressure. The selection of materials for various parts takes into account hygiene and corrosion resistance to liquids such as acid, alkali, and oil.

Advantages of 1000-liter IBC tank compared to 200-liter double ring drums

IBC TANK and 200-liter double ring plastic drums are two types of packaging containers commonly used in industries such as chemical, food, and daily chemical. Generally speaking, IBC tank have the best cost control compared to plastic and iron barrels, with one ton barrel filling capacity equal to five 200-liter plastic drums filling capacity. And four 200 liter plastic drums occupy the same volume, but can only hold 800 liters of material. A IBC TANK needs to be filled once, sealed once, and labeled once, while a IBC TANK (5 200 liters) needs to be filled 5 times, sealed 5 times, and labeled 5 times. So, IBC packaging not only saves costs but also improves customer work efficiency.

Advantages of IBC TANK : IBC TANK are composed of an inner container and a metal frame, and the inner container is made of high-density polyethylene blown molding, which has high strength and corrosion resistance. The outer metal frame is relatively reliable, and using IBC TANK can significantly reduce production, storage, transportation, and operating costs. Save manpower and material resources. Compared to traditional packaging, storage can save more than 30% of space, and forklift loading and unloading can reduce manual handling. Filling: 1 IBC TANK =5 200L drums, reducing repetitive operations during the filling process while avoiding waste and pollution caused by leaks and spills during the filling process.

In short, IBC tank are more convenient to use, economical and durable, and container barrels can become the mainstream product for liquid packaging. It can hold Class II and Class III dangerous goods, with a maximum liquid density of 1.5g/cm3 for Class II dangerous goods and 1.8g/cm3 for Class III dangerous goods. It can be directly loaded and unloaded with a forklift, and can be stacked for storage. The bottom is equipped with a drain valve, which facilitates, quickly, thoroughly, and safely discharging liquids. It is easy to clean and can be reused multiple times, which is beneficial for environmental protection.
