PPVC bags, also known as jumbo bags, one-ton bags, cement bags, container bags, and FIBC bags, are specially designed for the transportation and storage of dry, flowable products. These durable bags, made from woven polypropylene fabric, are widely used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals and food production, due to their robustness and environmental friendliness.
Benefits of Using PPVC Bags
Health & Safety
Managing materials like sand, gravel, or debris can pose significant hazards. Traditional methods such as the ‘rip and tip’ method can be difficult to control and dangerous. PPVC bags offer a safer and more manageable way to transport goods, reducing the risk of injuries and associated medical costs. They also minimize the need for additional protective equipment, enhancing both safety and cost savings.
Material Costs
Using PPVC bags can significantly lower material and labor costs. Traditional sacks require more manpower to load, transport, and unload, leading to higher expenses. PPVC bags streamline these processes, reducing the number of sacks needed and making the entire operation more efficient.
Environmental Savings
Switching to reusable PPVC bags reduces environmental impact by decreasing waste and the frequency of trips to disposal sites. This eco-friendly approach can improve your company’s reputation, potentially attracting grants or tax incentives.
Types of PPVC Bags
Type A Bulk Bags
Type A bulk bags are non-conductive and do not provide static protection. Hence, this makes them suitable only for non-flammable products.
Type B Bulk Bags
Similar to Type A, Type B bulk bags are also non-conductive and should not be in the presence of flammable materials.
Type C Bulk Bags
Type C bulk bags feature interwoven conductive threads that must be on ground during use. Thus, making them ideal for transporting flammable products.
Type D Bulk Bags
Type D bulk bags prevent static electricity and sparks without grounding. This make them suitable for safely transporting flammable products.
Types of Bulk Bag Construction
U-Panel Bulk Bag Construction
This common construction features three body panels forming the bottom and sides, with two additional panels for the other sides, offering high load capacity and durability.
Circular Bulk Bag Construction
Companies usually make circular bulk bags from a single piece of fabric, forming a tubular structure that appears square when filled.
Four-Panel Bulk Bag Construction
Industries construct four-panel bulk bags from four individual pieces stitched together, forming a square shape that maintains its form better than other types.
Maintaining Your PPVC Bags
Regular inspections are essential to ensure PPVC bags remain in good condition. Check for structural damage, such as rips or wear and tear, especially on the exterior surface. Elevation loops should be in good condition, as they are crucial for transportation. Ensure all accessories are functional and understand their proper use to spot issues early.
