Order FIBCs with Inlet and Outlet Systems
Easy Filling and Fast Emptying of Big Bags
Whether in the construction material industry, food industry, agricultural sector, or chemical industry: Once FIBCs (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers), commonly referred to as Big Bags, are filled mechanically, it is worth equipping the practical containers with inlet and outlet systems. To meet the various requirements of different industries, the inlet and outlet systems can be freely combined with each other.
Overview of Our Inlet Systems for Big Bags
Various inlet systems simplify the filling of Big Bags. The inlet systems are mostly sealable, keeping the goods protected from external contamination.
Open on Top
Big Bags that are open on top can be easily filled with coarse bulk materials such as construction materials of all kinds. The contents can also be easily removed from these Big Bags using tools like a shovel.
Skirt with tie
FIBCs with skirts for tying are used when the bulk bags are to be filled with dusty and dry goods. In the big bag with an apron, these remain protected from contamination from the outside. In addition, fine powdered goods cannot be carried out of the transport bag into the surroundings by air or wind. Therefore, these big bags are suitable, among other things, for storing seeds.
Inlet Spout
Inlet spouts simplify the machine filling of Big Bags with very fine, dry, and dusty bulk materials - whether it's powder or granules.
Flap with tie
Tie-on lids protect coarse bulk materials such as stones or gravel, as well as garden waste, from heavy external contamination.
Overview of Our Discharge Systems
Closed Bottom
For finely powdered and coarse-grained goods that do not need to be dosed, Big Bags with closed bottoms are suitable. They are often used for materials such as stones, sand or gravel, but also wood or potatoes are transported in them.
Outlet Spout
To dose gravel, seeds, or powder, Big Bags with outlet spouts are suitable. Because these can be opened or closed as needed.
Double outlet spout
Big Bags are often subjected to very high loads. A double outlet nozzle protects against the transport bags tearing due to repeated friction and resulting wear. Big Bags with double outlet nozzles also allow for even more precise dosing than Big Bags with single outlet nozzles, as they have two closure straps. This way, for example, overdosing of feed can be prevented.
Star Bottom / Fully Opening Bottom
Big Bags with star bottom can be fully opened. They are particularly used where there is a need for especially fast emptying of the transport bags. If the Big Bags contain bulky goods such as firewood, users can empty the transport bags better and faster.
B-Lock Closure
With the B-Lock closure, controlled emptying is possible. The outlet spout is additionally secured with a special device that allows easy resealing of the Big Bags.
Combinations of Inlet and Outlet Systems
To meet the various requirements that a Big Bag must fulfill, all inlet and outlet systems can be combined. For example, we can configure Big Bags that are equipped with a skirt at the top and an outlet spout at the bottom. The skirt makes it easier to fill the Big Bag with dry and dusty bulk materials, while the resealable outlet spout allows for dosing granules or fine powder materials. Additionally, FIBCs are available that have both an inlet and an outlet spout. This allows them to be quickly filled and easily emptied.
Common Combinations of Inlet and Outlet Systems Overview
Top open, bottom closed
Big Bags that are open at the top and have a closed bottom are often found on construction sites. They are well-suited for storing and transporting coarse bulk materials. Additionally, they are often used for storing garden waste.
Open at the top, bottom with outlet spout
Thanks to the large opening, these FIBCs are filled quickly. The outlet spout allows for the content to be emptied in a controlled manner. To evenly distribute the content, these Big Bags are used, for example, in the construction of gravel or aggregate paths.
Top with skirt, closed bottom
The large opening allows for quick filling. The opening is also large enough to scoop out the contents with a shovel. Additionally, the tie-up skirt prevents dusty materials such as sand from being blown away by the wind.
Top with skirt, bottom with outlet spout
These big bags allow for rapid filling and metered discharge of finely powdered materials, such as individual ingredients (flour, salt, sugar, cocoa, etc.) in food production. Thanks to the sealable apron, the ingredients in the big bag are protected from contamination from the outside.
Top with inlet spout, bottom closed
These Big Bags are used to store coarse-grained or fine-dusty materials. The inlet nozzle makes it very easy to fill the Big Bag. Thanks to its closed bottom, the Big Bags can, for example, be stored well in high racks. In addition, these Big Bags are also often used for final storage and disposal of fine materials.
Top with inlet spout, bottom with outlet spout
If a Big Bag is equipped with both an inlet nozzle and an outlet nozzle, it is quick and clean to fill and precise to empty. These Big Bags are suitable for flowable materials such as feed or granules. Additionally, they are used to transport minerals, building materials, or food.
