Understanding the IBC tank and the importance of its use in modern industries
Why is buying an IBC tank in Qazvin strategically important?
Types of IBC tanks available in the market and their use
1. New and used tanks (food grade and chemical)
2. Used tanks as new (washed and sterilized)
3. Rebuilt Tanks (Rebattle)
Technical and structural characteristics of the standard IBC tank
- Inner body material: High-density polyethylene (HDPE) which has excellent resistance to ultraviolet rays (UV), strong acids and chemical solvents.
- Chassis and protective pallet: The bottom pallet of the tank can be made of saturated wood, compressed plastic or galvanized metal. The metal chassis around the tank is made of stainless galvanized steel pipes to prevent the tank from changing under liquid pressure.
- Safe outlet valve: Equipped with butterfly or ball valves with standard diameters (usually 2 inches) that are completely watertight and prevent the leakage of hazardous materials.
- Top inlet: With a large screw cap (usually 6 inches) with a sealing washer. and the air pressure relief valve for easy filling of the tank.
Economical and logistic advantages of using an IBC tank
- Saving space in its warehouse: Due to the cubic structure and the design of the pallets, these tanks can be placed up to 4 floors on top of each other (in the full state, usually up to 2 or 3 floors, depending on the density of the material). This feature increases the useful space of the warehouse several times.
- Reduced loading time: Unloading or loading a 1000 liter tank with a forklift is much faster than moving 5 separate 200 liter barrels.
- Reducing waste and material wastage: Due to the sloping design of the lower part of the tank near the outlet valve, the liquid is drained to the last drop and the material is wasted. is minimized.
