Guide to IBC Tote Solutions

This guide is focused on a relatively specialized subject in the world of processing systems—industrial-grade reusable containers, and how to care for and maintain them. We will focus on a particular type of industrial reusable container called an intermediate bulk container, or IBC, which is widely used in both the hygienic processing industries and other industrial applications for moving and storing bulk liquid and dry ingredients.

We will provide, an overview of the range of products in the marketplace that have been introduced for the maintenance of these unique containers, both for hygienic and for non-hygienic applications.

IBCs provide for a more efficient solution than standard drums for the storage and movement of materials used in the processing industries.

This guide is intended for processing plant operations personnel who are responsible for the safe and efficient movement and storage of bulk materials and ingredients used in production. The proper use and maintenance of IBCs will ensure that these products retain their hygienic nature, if required, and will maximize their efficiency in daily operations.
