The cycles of demand and supply continue to make the world economy go round. The logistics involved in the manufacture and distribution of a product make up the so-called supply chain. When the finished product goes through numerous stages in the supply chain, the normal tear and wear may destroy it. That being said, special care is necessary while transporting the product so that your end product stays safe regardless of the hurdles during transportation.

The FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers) have stood the test of time in providing a safe method of bulk transportation. These bags have been in use since the 1940s though the current ones are highly modified. So, if you intend to transport bulk items, here are ten best uses of FIBCs for bulk transportation.

1. Transporting fine powders

FIBCs with sift proof seams work well for a variety of powdered products. However, if the sift proofing isn’t enough to hold the fine powder, then, a polyethylene liner is a great solution. You can purchase these liners and insert them manually into the big bag.

2. Transporting food grade products

The FIBCs from popular FIBC bags manufacturers in India are popular for packaging food products. Dryable, powdered, and granular food items can be packed in these bags and transported in bulk. You can also consider using liners to keep the products fresh and free from any possible contamination.

3. Transporting pharmaceutical products

Pharmaceutical goods are always held to the same, if not more, stringent environmental and hygiene standards as food products. You can pack these products safely in FIBCs and transport them in bulk. However, you will require liners if the bag doesn’t have one.

4. Transporting chemicals

FIBCs with perfect sift proof seams, and efficient liners can be used to transport powdered or granular chemicals in bulk. These bags empty with a minimum of air contamination and save storage space as they are collapsible. Besides, they are made of durable, tough industrial materials to ensure safe storage and transportation of chemicals.

5. Transportation of agricultural products

Agricultural products such as fertilizers, animal feeds (dryable), and other related products can be packed in the FIBCs and transported in bulk. Depending on nature and transportation standards for the agricultural products you intend to pack in these bags, you may require big bag liners, or you may not need them. The FIBCs feature a sturdy construction that maintains its shape during transportation and safe warehouse space too.

6. Transportation of building/construction materials

The transportation and management of construction materials such as gravel, cement, soil, and other related products is a tough task. Using the right FIBCs can ease the difficulties and eliminate the challenges associated with packaging and transportation of these materials.

7. Transportation of minerals and powdered metals

Ti02 and carbon black are some of the minerals that can be transported using the FIBCs. Note that transportation of powdered or granular metals and minerals require durable FIBCs specially designed to handle such items. You can get such bags from popular FIBC bags exporters from India or other locations around the world.

8. Petroleum products transportation

When handling flammable products, the build-up of electrostatic charges can result in hazardous explosions. The type C and D static control FIBCs can help in the safe transportation of such products.

9. Transportation of plastics

Plastics and other related products are frequently used as inputs in a different industry. These products are usually in pellet form and are transported in bulk. If you’re not sure of what to use to transport these pellets, consider giving the FIBCs a try.

10. Wood and paper transportation

Perhaps you didn’t expect FIBCs to be effective in transporting wood and paper. However, chopped wood product, wood pellets, and other related wood products can be safely packed in FIBCs and transported safely!

You no longer need to worry about bulk transportation of powdered and granular products. You can contact a famous woven plastic manufacturer & exporter in India – Gulnar Plastics Pvt Ltd to get these bags.
