What is Sift Proofing?
For the manufacturers across industries, leakage can be a major concern, especially for those producing fragmented materials, as it results in higher costs. In some cases, even closely sewed seams of FIBC containers are not enough to provide enough protection from leakage. Sift proofing is a sewing process that fills the stitching pores of FIBC for the prevention of leakage of super fine particles from the regular seams. These kinds of bags are usually used for storing and transporting products, leakage of which can cause commercial losses or health and safety hazards.
Types of Sift Proof FIBCs
Depending on the minuteness of particles, FIBCs are equipped with different types of sift proofing. Emmbi offers three kinds of sift proofing which cater to a wide range of industries and products. These are:
- Single Sift Proofing
- Double Sift Proofing
- Triple Sift Proofing
Applications of Sift Proof FIBC Bags
Since sift proofing is generally used for extremely fine particles, they can be used in a number of industries that involve powdered substances. Following are the industries where sift proofing is has proved to be a game-changer, and in some cases, life saving:
- Pharmaceutical Industry
- Food & Beverage Industry
- Chemical Industry
- Cosmetics Industry
Uses of Sift-Proof FIBC
Sift Proofing has revolutionary benefits, not only in terms of cost optimization but also in terms of compliance adherence. Here are a few:
- Saving Costs
One of the primary uses of sift proof FIBC is to cut down leakage of fine particles from the stitching pores. In high-value industries like pharmaceuticals, leakages of a few grams can result in significant losses, and hence, sift proofing can help in reducing wastage costs. Similarly, cutting down on wastage in any industry will reduce the overall costs, which in the long run can be quite substantial.
- Preventing Fatal Accidents
Storage and transportation of hazardous powdered chemicals is a big challenge for the chemical industry. Sift proof FIBC bags, especially FIBC types with double and triple sift proofing, have proved to be life saving as they prevent the leakage of fine particles that are at times flammable or cause harmful radiation.
