How to Store Empty FIBCs

The correct way to store FIBCs is to keep them clean and capped. This ensures the FIBCs remain intact and avoids extreme weather changes or direct sunlight.

How to Fill FIBCs

The correct way to fill FIBCs is to place them on the ground or a pallet and secure them with the filling device's lifting rings. Note that in some cases, the bag must be grounded before filling.

How to Unload FIBCs

Normally, FIBCs are unloaded by gravity; in some cases, suction is used. FIBCs with special unloading ports can be used to control the unloading process. If the FIBC does not have an unloading port, the bottom of the FIBC usually needs to be cut open. You can stop the unloading process by lowering the FIBC onto the goods to be unloaded. During this process, always pay close attention and ensure no one is below the unloading point.

How to Handle FIBCs

When lifting FIBCs, always face the FIBC directly and ensure the forklift forks can easily insert into the loop or tunnel-like rings. During hoisting, ensure all ring structures remain vertical and untwisted, and that the forklift edges are free of sharp points to prevent damage to the FIBC or tearing of the ring structures.

Driving a Forklift to Transport FIBCs

When driving a forklift, always ensure that the fully loaded FIBCs are kept at a low height off the ground. If the FIBCs are too high off the ground, the forklift's stability will decrease, increasing the risk of accidents.

Moving FIBCs with a Crane

Ensure that the crane hook has no sharp edges that could damage the packaging bag or lifting structure. Using protective materials whenever possible is crucial. Zibo Yundu Plastic Products recommends using a dedicated safety hook to minimize the risk of the packaging bag accidentally falling. When lifting the packaging bag, the lifting rings must be kept vertical. Twisted, knotted, or non-vertical lifting rings pose a safety hazard.

Arranging FIBCs

FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers) have a special lifting ring design; all lifting rings must be used simultaneously. FIBCs are designed to ensure that their entire weight is evenly distributed across all lifting rings.

How to Store Full FIBCs

FIBCs can be stored in various ways. Depending on the material, users can choose to place the FIBCs on the ground (with or without pallets) or stack them. Please ensure that the FIBCs are stacked correctly and at the required stacking height.
