IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) tank is an intermediate bulk container whose main function is to store and transport liquid, powder or granular substances.
The following are some of the main functions of IBC tanks:
Storage: IBC tanks are designed to safely and efficiently store large volumes of liquid, powder or granular materials. This can cover a variety of substances, including chemicals, food-grade liquids, pesticides, coatings, solvents, and more.
Transportation: The IBC tank has a sturdy structure and easy-to-handle design, and is suitable for transporting large quantities of materials. They can usually be moved by forklifts or other handling equipment to facilitate the transportation of materials on production lines, warehousing or logistics processes.
Easy to fill and empty: IBC tanks are usually equipped with an upper fill port and a bottom drain port, allowing the container to be filled and emptied easily. This helps streamline the production and shipping process.
Reusable: IBC tanks are usually made of sturdy materials, allowing them to be reused multiple times. This helps reduce waste and lower costs.
Space Saving: Due to the design of IBC tanks, they can be stacked on top of each other, saving space during storage and transportation.
Easy to Clean: The IBC tank is designed with ease of cleaning in mind, allowing the container to be cleaned quickly and efficiently when switching between different substances.
The raw materials for IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) Tanks can vary depending on the manufacturer and design, but generally, their main components include the following materials:
Inner Container: The inner container is usually made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or other corrosion-resistant and chemical-resistant plastic. This ensures the container+s compatibility with various liquids, as well as resistance to corrosive substances.
Outer Frame/Cage: The outer frame or external support structure of an IBC Tank is usually made of galvanized steel or other high-strength metals to provide support and protection for the container.
Base (Pallet): Usually made of plastic or metal, the base is used to support the entire IBC system and enable it to be easily moved by a forklift or other handling equipment.
Fittings and valves: Usually made of corrosion-resistant metals, such as stainless steel, to ensure they are not damaged when in contact with various liquids. These components may also include corrosion-resistant plastic components.
Seals: To prevent liquid leakage, IBCs often use seals made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone.
Labels and logos: These are typically made from weather-resistant plastic or metal to ensure they remain legible under varying environmental conditions.
The IBC Blow Molding Machine and the IBC Tank Frame Welding Machine are often related in the production of intermediate bulk containers (IBC), but they perform different tasks and are often located in different stages of the manufacturing process.
IBC Blow Molding Machine: This is the equipment used for manufacturing IBC container shells. It is a blow molding machine used to heat and blow mold thermoplastic pellets or granular materials to form the shell of the IBC container. This process usually involves steps such as heating of raw materials, injection into molds, blow molding, cooling, and solidification. The IBC Blow Molding Machine is used to produce the casing, the reusable part of the IBC, which is usually made of plastic.
