Different FIBC bulk bags for sale to suit all your needs

Knowing which FIBC type is ideal for your application is critical for both safety and operational efficiency. Each type of bulk bag offers specific protective features designed for different environments and materials.

The classification system ranges from basic storage solutions to advanced static-protective options for hazardous environments. Selecting the wrong type can compromise safety protocols and regulatory compliance.

Type A

Our Type A FIBC bulk bags represent the industry standard for general-purpose applications. Manufactured from 100% virgin polypropylene, these bags offer reliable performance for non-flammable dry goods across construction, agriculture, and manufacturing sectors.

Type A bags provide no static protection, making them ideal for materials like sand, gravel, grains, and non-combustible powders. With safe working loads up to 5,000 lbs and safety factors up to 8:1, they deliver cost-effective bulk handling solutions where static discharge isn’t a concern.

Type B

When handling dry flammable powders, our Type B FIBC bulk bags provide enhanced safety through low breakdown voltage materials. These bags prevent dangerous brush discharges while remaining cost-effective for operations without flammable gas exposure.

Type B bags are engineered for chemical powders, agricultural dusts, food-grade materials, and pharmaceutical ingredients. They offer protection in ATEX Zone 22 environments where combustible dust may be present but flammable vapors are absent.

Type C

Our Type C FIBC bulk bags feature conductive threads interwoven throughout the fabric for dependable static protection in high-risk environments. When properly grounded, these bags safely dissipate electrostatic charges during filling and discharge operations.

Type C bags are essential for chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and food manufacturing, where both combustible dusts and flammable gases may be present. Compliance with IEC 61340-4-4 and ATEX Zone 1/2 requirements makes them the preferred choice for regulated industries.

Type D anti-static FIBC bulk bags

The most advanced option, our Type D anti-static FIBC bulk bags utilize Crohmiq® static-dissipative fabric for ground-free protection. These bags eliminate human error risks by providing consistent static protection without requiring grounding connections.

Type D bags excel in fast-moving operations, remote locations, and environments where grounding procedures may be compromised. They offer the highest level of safety for volatile materials while maintaining operational flexibility and efficiency.

FIBC bags construction designs

The construction design of your FIBC bulk bag significantly impacts filling efficiency, discharge control, and overall operational effectiveness. Top and bottom configurations must align with your specific material handling processes and equipment capabilities.

Proper design selection affects everything from dust control during filling to discharge flow rates and storage stability.

Duffle top construction

Our duffle top bulk bags feature a lightweight panel skirt that provides full bag access during filling operations. This design allows complete opening of the bag body, making it ideal for large materials and multi-point loading systems.

Duffle tops require adequate skirt length for proper tie-off after filling. They excel in applications involving construction debris, landscaping materials, and irregularly shaped products that need unrestricted loading access.

Open top design

Open-top FIBC bags provide complete unrestricted access with no closure mechanism whatsoever. Materials remain exposed to environmental elements after filling, making them the most economical construction option available.

They work best for construction aggregates, waste materials, and applications where environmental protection isn’t required. They offer the same structural strength as closed-top alternatives while maximizing cost efficiency.

Spout top configuration

Spout top bulk bags feature a cylindrical tube sewn onto a flat base, creating a controlled filling environment. The narrow opening minimizes dust issues and product spillage during loading operations.

Standard spout dimensions are typically 14″ diameter by 18″ length, though custom sizing is available. This configuration provides excellent dust control and secure closure capabilities, making it ideal for powders and granular materials.

Flat bottom construction

Flat-bottom bulk bags utilize standard base construction without discharge mechanisms. Contents are emptied by cutting an X-pattern at the bottom, making these essentially single-use containers.

Flat-bottom designs are preferred for construction waste disposal, permanent storage applications, and situations requiring rapid, complete discharge without reusability concerns. They offer simplified construction at reduced costs.

Spout bottom design

Spout bottom bulk bags incorporate funnel-like discharge openings for controlled material release. The spout remains tucked and sealed until discharge is required, providing excellent flow control capabilities.

Spout bottoms are essential for powders, granular materials, and applications requiring precise discharge control. Additional features like safety valves, flaps, and cord locks enhance product containment and operational safety.

💡 Hypothetical Scenario: A chemical processing facility needs to transport 3,000 lbs of powdered catalyst from storage to production lines. Using spout top bags with spout bottom discharge allows dust-free filling through pneumatic systems and controlled dispensing directly into reactor vessels, eliminating manual handling and contamination risks.

Selecting the optimal construction design depends on your material characteristics, handling equipment, and operational requirements.

Our technical team can evaluate your specific application to recommend the most efficient and cost-effective design solution.
