FIBC bags are a great option for storing and moving heavy products in large quantities. While they are largely used for storing dry products, they can also be used to store and move wet materials and products. However, certain conditions apply.
Before we understand the use of FIBCs for wet products, let us understand the challenges that exist.
- Seepage: It is possible that if the product is too wet at the time of storage, it can seep through the fabric of the FIBC.
- Heavy weight: It is a well-known fact that wet products are also heavier, hence, more cumbersome to store and move.
- Clogging: It is possible that wet products might get jammed at the time of removing from the FIBCs especially those with a spout bottom. This can become a time-consuming as well as a risky issue.
But don’t worry! Solutions are available to help address these issues. Here’s what you should know while choosing an FIBC to store and move wet materials and products:
- Use a FIBC with liner: The best way to avoid seepage is to use a FIBC bag with a liner. This ensures that there is no leakage/seepage regardless of the amount of moisture.
- Breathable FIBC: Get a FIBC that does not lead to retention of moisture. This will help in reducing chances of fungus in certain types of products.
- Avoid spout bottom: To store wet materials, avoid FIBCs that have a spout bottom. It helps in making the task of emptying the bags easier.
- High SWL FIBC: Since wet products are heavier, it is recommended to use FIBC that can take a higher weight load.
