DOUBLE LOOP BIG-BAGS (FIBCs)
Double Loop Big Bags are made of polypropylene fabric and are equipped with two load-bearing loops that serve as an extension to the shell of the bag itself.
The top of the 2-loops bulk container resembles the well-known t-shirt bag. Having two separate loops provides more space in the loading area of the bag, making it more comfortable to handle.
At its top point each loop is wrapped and fixed with a cuff made of laminated polypropylene fabric. It protects the loop from damage when contacting hooks and forks of lifting equipment. The bright yellow colour of the sleeves is clearly visible, making it easier for the crane or forklift operator to sling and work.
Containers of this type, as a rule, are manufactured with a safety factor of SF 5:1 and are designed for single use. They can be used to transport almost any type of bulk industrial and food goods weighing from 200 to 1,000 kg.
It is a cost-effective and one of the most popular types of bulk containers. The most common is a two-loops container with a working load of 1 tonne.
White polypropylene fabric with a density of 120 to 160 g/m2 and a tubular width of 120–160 cm is usually used to produce one- and two-loops containers. You can also order fabric containers with other colours and characteristics.
STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS OF BULK CONTAINERS
CONTAINER TOP AND LOADING:
- open top
- filling spout (top valve)
- top skirt (duffle)
The filling spout is a hose sewn to the cover of the container made of polypropylene fabric. The valve allows loading products into the container with minimal risk of spillage and pulverisation. At the end of loading the valve hose is folded and tied up with a drawstring.
The top cover in the form of a skirt allows closing the top of the bag after loading by tying the pleat with a drawstring.
CONTAINER BOTTOM AND UNLOADING:
- flat bottom
- flat ‘star-shaped’ bottom (at an angle of 45°)
- discharge spout and safety valve
When unloading Big Bags with a flat bottom, the fabric at the bottom of the container is cut or ripped off with special knives and unloaders.
The version with a discharge spout on the bottom enables controlled unloading and partial unloading of products.
The safety valve protects the discharge spout and its drawstring against damage and snags.
liner insertion
To ensure tightness and maximum safety of the cargo, the bulk container can have a polyethylene liner with a thickness of 60 to 150 microns. Liners are of three types: flat, form-fit (with a neck) and heat-resistant.
CUSTOM PRINTABLE
We can print inscriptions or images on Big Bags using colour flexographic printing (up to 4 colours). The printed image will be contrasting, durable and visible from afar. This is an effective way to increase your brand awareness.
