Filling Options

Discharge Options

Filling / Discharge options

Common filling options include an open top, duffle top, conical top or a spout top.  Discharging/bottom options include a duffle bottom, conical bottom, spout bottom or a flat bottom.  The filling and discharging options are selected are going to be dictated by a number of factors.

Types of FIBC Bags

Form Stabilized Bag( Baffle Bags) / Q Bags

Form stabilized bags offers maximum stability to the bag. Four rigid corner loops allow the forklift operator to pick up bags without the requirement of additional staff.

These type of bag is available with all sewing pattern, inlet/outlet design and various closure options. Form Stabilized bags ensure…

  • Saving in Space.
  • Higher Stability after filling, &
  • Retention of the rectangular shape

Baffle Bags

Baffled Bag:

The Baffled bag is preferred for transportation and storing products where best use of available space is essential is designed as an alternative to rigid forms of containers. The Baffle FIBC design utilizes inner baffles that maintain the original shape once the bag has been filled. This is achieved with perforated panels that ensure that the product flows uniformly into the corners.

Conical Bag

A standard or stable bag with a cone at bottom, conical tops allow to utilize the total capacity of the bag better. FIBCs with a conical base are specially developed for poorly flowing products like powders, Slurries, flour products etc. This conical shape allows them to flow from out spout.

Conical Bag

Cross Corner / Tubular Bag / Circular Bag

Cross Corner loop bag/Tubular Bag, loops are sewn in the body with the main fabric. These types of FIBCs are prepared when retaining the shape of the lifting loop becomes important. This bag is available in all patterns, input/output variation and different closing options. They are ideal for fine and hydroscopic materials. The tubular body design is also ideal as a liner-less option for fine materials and is recognized for its ease of lifting and manipulating with a forklift.

Tunnel Loop Bag

Tunnel loops are two continuous tunnels along the side of the FIBC. Tunnel loop bags are excellent for ease of using the FIBCs with a fork-lift. These are easy for one person to pick up and can therefore save labour . In addition, this may reduce your pallet usage.

 

UN Bag

UN bags are special type of FIBCs are designed to comply with the United nations Recommendations on the Transport of dangerous Goods. They have formulated directives to ensure safety and prevention of accidents, any type of injury, or even any sort of damage to the property. We test and design these bags so that they comply with all the requirements of a UN FIBC. Bright designs and produces quality UN Bags with the help of an efficient and trained staff along with the advanced technical equipments.

 

Asbestos / Deport bag

These bags meet the requirements of the landfill areas for waste that contain asbestos and can be disposed of underground. We take extra care to ensure that the Asbestos bag is fabricated with high grade raw material to ensure quality and longer service life. These bags are made as per customer requirements.

Single & Double Loop Bag

Single loop bag has one loop on the main fabric of bag and Double loop bag has two loops on the main fabric of bag. These are widely accepted as being more cost effective than the traditional 4- Loop Bags used. Compared to the standard four loop bags, these bags have different construction. Besides being an economical alternative, these bags also serve as the best packaging solution for granular and powdered bulk material. The unique construction of these bags make to easier to stack them at several levels as per positions such as handling requirement, storage and conditions of transportation. It protects the goods and reduces the pollution. These loop bags are available as per customer requirement with printable format.

 

Type A Bags

Type A FIBC are made from fabric without any measures against the build-up of static electricity. Any FIBC that does not meet the requirements specified in Clause 7 as per IEC norms or which has not been tested against the requirements is classified as Type A.

    Type B Bags

    Type B FIBC are made from fabric designed to prevent the occurrence of sparks (static) and propagating brush discharges. To ensure propagating brush discharges cannot occur across the walls of a FIBC intended for use in the presence of combustible dusts but in the absence of flammable vapours or gases, it shall be constructed from materials having an electrical breakdown voltage of less than or equal to 4 kV when tested.

      Type C Bags

      Type C FIBC are made from fabric interwoven with conductive tapes and designed to prevent the occurrence of incendiary sparks, brush discharges and propagating brush discharges. Type C FIBC are designed to be connected to earth during filling and emptying operations. The essential condition to the safe use and performance of a type C bag is that it must be electrically grounded during the process of filling and discharging.

        Type D Bags

        Type D FIBC are made from static protective fabric designed to prevent the occurrence of incendiary sparks, brush discharges and propagating brush discharges, without the need for a connection from the FIBC to earth.

        When handling a flexible bulk container bag…

        Do’s

        • Ensure all handling equipment is free of sharp edges. Forklift tines and crane hooks can easily tear lifting straps and cause dangerous conditions. Inspect these before use.
        • Use all lifting straps vertically (or single-point center pick, if applicable). Always Follow manufacturer provided lifting instructions to maximize capacity and equal distribution of the load.

        Maintain a clear line of sight when moving a bulk bag. Avoiding personnel and other obstructions while handling loaded bags is key. Effective and clear communication is important here too.

        Dont’s

        • Stand or have others stand beneath a suspended bulk bag.
        • Suspend your FIBCs using less than all straps provided. Failure to utilize all loops can result in failure and dangerous conditions.
        • Push, pull, or drag a filled lift bag, and abrasion will lead to failure.

        Overfill the bulk bag over its listed safe working load. Doing so compromises the integrity of the packaging.
