IBC Tank Raw Material

IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) is a large, reusable packaging container that is widely used in chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and other industries. IBC tonnage barrels are composed of several key components, including steel parts, lids, valves, and raw materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pellets. Below is a detailed description of these components and materials:

1. IBC steel parts:
– Steel components usually refer to the frame and floor of the IBC tonneau. The frame is welded from metal tubing, providing the structural strength and stability of the barrel. The bottom plate is responsible for distributing the load and ensuring the stability of the barrel when stacked or transported with a forklift. These steel components are often galvanized to increase corrosion resistance and extend service life.

2. IBC caps:
– The IBC cover is the top component of the barrel, used to close the mouth of the barrel to ensure the safety of the contents and prevent leakage. The lid usually fits tightly with the neck of the barrel, and some are designed to be rotatable or foldable to facilitate loading and unloading. The lid may also be equipped with a safety valve or other ventilation device to balance the pressure inside and outside the barrel and vent volatile gases.

3. IBC valve:
– The IBC valve is an important component at the bottom of the barrel, used to control the discharge of the contents. The valve design requires corrosion resistance, good sealing, and easy operation. Common valve materials include high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP), and are equipped with sealing materials such as ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) or fluorine rubber (FPM). The valve operation methods include a manual switch, compressed air control, or spring loading.

4. IBC HDPE granules:
– High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pellets are the main raw material for manufacturing IBC tonnage inner containers. HDPE is a durable, chemically stable plastic material suitable for use in the blow molding process. IBC inner containers made of HDPE particles have good resistance to chemicals and environmental impacts while being lightweight and easy to handle and recycle.

Together, these components and materials form the overall structure of the IBC bucket, ensuring its reliability and efficiency in a variety of industrial applications. The design and manufacturing of IBC tonnage barrels follow strict international standards and specifications to meet the specific needs of different industries.
