IBC Container Overview
Intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) are rigid, pallet-mounted containers for efficient storage and transport of bulk liquids and dry flowable products — typical capacity approximately 1,000 litres (dependent on product density). The HDPE inner bottle is protected by a galvanised steel cage and integrated with a standard pallet for direct forklift or pump-truck handling.
IBCs are widely used in oleochemical, food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries for intermediate storage of liquids, oils, resins, and dry flowable powders.
