IBCs made of stainless steel can be modified by using various fittings such as lids, valves and liners to meet the specific requirements of your business. This is especially beneficial for companies with specialized operations and setups that require specific equipment for the safe handling of products and materials.
Standard stainless steel IBC tanks feature heavy-duty 10 gauge metal shell and a 2" sloped bottom to allow for drainage and to eliminate heel (cargo residue) as well as a 2" stainless steel ball valve that has an EPDM gasket on the 22" manway and three inches of Rieke or Fusible automatic pressure release vent. On request, custom options like quick connect camlock couplings, off-set valves that are angled and other options that are custom-designed can be designed to meet your specific needs.
The slopped bottom of the inner tank and a standard 2'' bung allow the quick and efficient draining, cleaning and refilling. A slanted cap is also included for making it easier to access the tank and protect the contents. The standard IBC has a combination of lifting/stacking lugs and leg positioning devices that provide access to pallet jacks and forklifts. Insulation blankets of custom sizes are available on request to improve temperature maintenance and protection of corrosive and temperature-sensitive cargo.
IBC Tote made of polyethylene
The plastic IBC tote comes with many benefits. It can be used for storing and transporting diverse substances, such as liquids, dry chemical materials, granular materials, and powders. They are also designed to minimize contamination by preventing moisture and air from entering the contents. This helps reduce the degradation of the product and also saves businesses money. Furthermore the design of IBC totes allows for easy access and discharge via the built-in valve or nozzle.
The IBC tote is also easy to clean, which is especially important for containers that hold potentially harmful foods or substances. These containers can be cleaned and sterilized by steamer or pressure washer. These containers are also strong enough to stand up to harsh conditions.
Depending on the application and the use, IBC totes are available in a variety of sizes, materials and designs. The rigid plastic IBC totes are made of a high-density polyethylene material that is safe for a variety of applications and materials. They are available in a range of capacities which range from 275 up to 332 US gallons. They can also be double-stacked for transport. Galvanized steel caged IBC totes are another option for industrial applications. They are made from carbon steel with a galvanized coating to guard against corrosion.
Caged IBC totes are typically used for storing and transporting hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals along with beverages and food products. They can be stacked as high as four and come with an integrated drain valve to reduce the amount of product left after emptying. This helps in saving space in warehouses and distribution centers, and makes them easier to handle for manual operation.
Many individuals are looking to the IBC tote for home and garden use as well. For instance, they could be repurposed as a rabbit hutch by cutting the sides of the tank and incorporating doors. These containers can be used to store compost and other organic waste. These containers are ideal to store water for livestock. Some people are using them as an alternative to traditional rain barrels. They provide an environmentally sustainable and sustainable way to harvest and collect rainfall.
Polypropylene IBC Tote
If you handle a wide range of liquids and chemicals in your business you'll need totes that are able to handle the job. IBC totes are industrial vessels designed for chemical storage and transportation. They can be constructed from a variety of materials, including stainless steel and plastic. They also come in various sizes and shapes. Some IBCs are designed to handle liquids, whereas others can handle solids such as grains and powders.
Poly composite IBCs are very popular among businesses who require a reusable container for non-hazardous materials. These totes are made of high-density plastic that can withstand many conditions. They are able to resist corrosion, which is particularly useful when you store the abrasive chemicals or other substances that can harm metal. Caged IBCs can also be used to store hazardous materials. Their caged structure helps to contain volatile chemicals, preventing explosions and spills.
Stainless steel IBCs are a better option for the storage and transportation of hazardous chemicals, including the corrosive and flammable liquids. These IBCs are able to stand up to high temperatures and are often equipped vents that let vapors escape in the event of an incident. They can be used to store a wide variety of liquids, including industrial chemicals, paints, dyes, pharmaceuticals and lubricants.
Some IBC totes are designed to mix or dispensing and come with a nozzle or a valve that can be attached to the tube. This allows you to dispensing your products without opening the container, which can help to ensure worker safety and avoid accidents or spills that can cause damage to your facility or harm wildlife.
Many farmers use IBC totes for storing and moving water to their livestock. These totes can be used for both washing and drinking, as well as for watering plants and gardens. It is essential to ensure that any used IBC totes or tanks you purchase are food safe. If they were previously used to store dangerous chemicals, they could release them into the water, which can cause harm to your pets or livestock.
Polyethylene Spill Tray
A polyethylene spill tray is an essential tool to store small containers of chemicals. They stop liquids from spilling out through the transfer of liquids and ending up on the floor of the workplace or polluting the surrounding.
