Guidelines to use FIBC bags for storing and transporting wet products!

FIBC bags are top-rated options for transportation and storage of dry products. These bags offer a variety of benefits, like saving money and time for the industrial conglomerates. It often happens that there are some wet materials or products that need to be stored and transported.
In this situation, FIBC bags still serve amazingly! Here are some of the issues that one has to face while storing and transporting wet products –

• Wet products are significantly heavier: The moisture present or the water present in the product adds a significant amount of weight to the bag in the same volume. This causes problems with the safe working load of the FIBC bag.
• It is too moist when storing: The moisture or the water in the wet product can seep through seams or the fabric of the FIBC bag.
• Spout bottom gets clogged while discharging the wet product: The wet product has the tendency to get jammed during discharging. This becomes inconvenient and is also dangerous.
• It can seep through the linings: Certain wet products have super-high moisture which gives a high risk of it seeping through the linings. This is a severe issue as it can destroy the product’s natural characteristics and get you a financial loss.

These are some of the major issues one has to face while storing wet products, but you can easily tackle them with the following guidelines.

1. Go for FIBC with high SWL:
As the wet product is heavier, it is advisable that you choose an FIBC bag with a higher safe working load which is made from a piece of thicker fabric and the stitches are heavy-duty and more intact. The safe working load needs your dire attention when selecting an FIBC bag for a wet product.

2. Use liner:

Choose an FIBC bag with liners. The liners are efficient enough to keep the moisture in the bag and also prevent the wet product from seeping out of the bag. You can ask the manufacturer to sew an extra liner when manufacturing bags or you can separately purchase them.

3. An FIBC bag that breathes:
Certain wet products can form moulds. And, this can ruin the entire product. So, if you have such a wet product, then go for FIBC bags without liners and without coating. This will give extra airflow and also ventilation to the wet product.

4. Avoid spout bottom:
The spout bottom FIBC bags have a tendency to get clogged when wet products are discharged. And, this can cause immense inconvenience. From clearing the clog to the wastage of product, nothing is great about all of this. So, to aim at this issue, you can go for an FIBC bag with full bottom discharge. This allows discharging in one shot.

This was all about how you can tackle the issues faced while storing and discharging wet products from FIBC bags.
