Jumbo bags, also known as Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs), are large, durable bags designed for the transportation and storage of dry, flowable products. These bags are especially useful in industries such as pharmaceuticals and food production, where they ensure safe and efficient handling of bulk materials.

Importance of Static Electricity Control

In industries using jumbo bags, such as those in Singapore, controlling static electricity is crucial. Static electricity can accumulate when these bags are rapidly filled or discharged, posing a risk when handling flammable materials. Proper selection of jumbo bags helps mitigate this risk, ensuring safe packing and transportation.

Types of Jumbo Bags and Their Uses

1. Regular FIBC Bags: These are the most common type, capable of carrying loads from 500 kg to 2000 kg. The dimensions can be customized based on customer needs. They are ideal for transporting non-flammable, dry substances in powder form.
2. Conductive FIBC Bags: Also known as Type C bags, these are made from non-conductive polypropylene fabrics. They are used for transporting flammable powdery substances or in environments with combustible dust. Conductive threads ensure the safe discharge of static electricity.
3. Dissipative Jumbo Bags: Made from antistatic fabric with dissipative threads, these bags are suitable for transporting flammable powders or in environments with flammable solvents. They should not be used if the bags may come into contact with water, grease, or other conductive materials.
4. FIBC Bags with Liners: These bags feature polyethene or multi-layer laminate liners, making them ideal for storing and transporting highly hygroscopic materials. The liners offer added protection against contamination and environmental factors.
