A Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container,
FIBC ,big bag
,
bulk bag, or super sack is a standardized container in large dimensions for storing and transporting and storing for example sand, fertilizers ,
granules of
plastics or other dry products. It is most often made of thick woven polyethylene or polypropylene
and normally measures around 110 × 110 cm and varies in height from
100 cm up to 200 cm. Its capacity is normally around 1000 kg but the
larger units can store even more. Transporting and loading is done on
either pallets
or by lifting it in loops. Bags are made with either one loop or four
lifting loops. The single loop bag is suitable for one man operation as
there is no need for a second man to put the loops on the loader hook. Emptying is made easy by a special opening in the bottom or by simply cutting it open.
