How do I safely fill an IBC?
To safely fill an IBC first make sure that the pallet, cage and bottle and valve are suitable for use with the intended product. Ensure that the valve is securely tighten to the inner bottle and that the valve is closed and that the drip cap is secured and tightened. Check that the inside of the bottle is clean. When hot filling product do not exceed 65°C. When bottom filling make sure that the vents are functioning correctly or open the top cap. Do not over fill the IBC. After filling, if the product has a UN number, ensure that the lid seal is correctly positioned and tighten the screw cap to 70-80 Newton/Meters.
How do I transport an IBC safely?
Do not lift IBCs from the top frame. Ensure that the fork truck tines are fully inserted under the IBC before lifting.
