Big Bags / FiBC

Products - Applications - Material Decision

Big bags are now being used in an increasing number of industries that have recognized the potential of this packaging material for streamlining logistics processes and the resulting cost savings. Due to their low weight, large volume and high load-bearing capacity, easy filling and emptying, and excellent storage and stacking properties, FIBCs are an attractive option for virtually any company that fills, collects, stores, or transports bulk goods, as well as certain bulk goods.

USBAGs from FASSE Industrial Textiles are used, among other things,

• as collection, storage and transport containers for residual materials in waste disposal technology (e.g. filter dust, ash, paper)
• als Produktverpackung (zB von Holzpallets, Granulaten, Filtraten)
• for the transport of building materials (e.g. clay, basalt gravel)
• for transporting food (e.g. grain, flour, milk powder)

FASSE Industrial Textiles caters to the diverse nature of bulk materials by carefully selecting fabrics and materials for its big bags. Free-flowing granules, grain, and other less logistically demanding products are filled and transported in standard FIBCs made of cost-effective, uncoated fabric.

With dusty bulk materials, however, it is important to ensure that neither the environment nor the maximum allowable concentration (MAK) values are exceeded. Therefore, coated polypropylene fabric is chosen in this case, which is provided with an additional seam seal to prevent the bulk material from escaping from the seam holes.

For dust and liquids whose penetration should be prevented and which at the same time must be protected from environmental influences, we additionally equip your USBAGs with a polyethylene* inner liner (giant plastic bag).

FASSE Industrial Textiles generally uses UV-stabilized fabrics. The stabilizers are added to the PP granulate and extruded into the PP tapes. Migration to the contents of the FIBC is impossible.

The risk of dust explosions, which often occurs when handling bulk materials, can also be eliminated by choosing the right material. For this purpose, we recommend polypropylene fabric with a coating and antistatic effect.

* Polyethylene: A thermoplastic produced by polymerizing ethylene. It is often used for the liners of FIBCs, among other things, to protect the contents from environmental influences.
