4-panel Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container Bags are constructed with four individual pieces sewn
together to form a square structure. When filled, a 4-panel bag will
hold its square shape similar to other construction types. Typically,
4-panel bags will hold their shape better than the U-panel bags, and a
U-panel bags will hold their shape better than a circular bag. The
biggest drawback to 4-panel bags is the large amount of stitching
required to keep the bag together. This can allow for more areas of
the bag prone to failure. However, 4-panel bags are ideal for storage
due to the way they hold their shape when filled.
Circular Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container-Circular bags are made with a tubular piece of
fabric that forms all sides of the bag allowing for stitching only
for the top and bottom of the bag. There is a common
misconception with circular bags regarding their shape when
filled. They aren’t literally circular; they are simply constructed
with a single piece of fabric that forms all four sides of the bag.
U-panel Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container- U-panel bags are constructed with three body panels
– one that runs the full length of the bag forming the bottom and
two sides and two additional pieces of fabric sewn into the larger
piece that form the other two sides. U-panel bags are an industry
standard and the most popular type of construction offering high
safe working loads (SWLs) and solid durability.
The Q bag design is constructed by sewing polypropylene
baffles across the four corners of the FIBC bag. Thus, when the
bag is filled, the baffles prevent the sides from bulging out or
falling over when being stored or transported, giving the bags
a straight shape.
Q Bags offer numerous benefits to the
customers :
Ability to fill 30% more material per bag as compared to the standard
FIBC because of uniform material flow to all four corners.
• Reduced spillage and better usage and optimization of the available
storage space.
• Improved stacking in the warehouse makes it look neater and improves
overall aesthetical appeal.
• Remains within the Pallet dimensions when filled.
• Baffle Bags find their application in the Food, Chemical and
Pharmaceutical industries
A Conical Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container Bag is shaped like a cone at the bottom. These
types of FIBCs are especially suitable to pack sticky products
which are not so free-flowing eg. Clay, Slurries, etc. The Conical
design provides a gradient for these materials to ‘flow’ towards
the outlet spout.
These bags have a series of webbing running by each
side of the FIBC for additional support while lifting and
handling. These bags are generally used for storage and
transportation of heavy material like minerals, cement etc.
Hood lift bags are like traditional FIBC bags. Instead of the
four corner loops these bags have lifting handles in the
shape of hood on top of the bag which is made of the body
fabric itself. The hood lift method makes the handling of the
bag easier. These bags reduce the requirement of
manpower as they can be lifted with hood lift without the
need of additional help lift the bag via corner loops.
The side tunnel loops are designed to stay open ready for
the forklift to engage. This Eliminates the need to manually
hold the loops open saving time and labour.
