Rigid IBC Containers

Key Features

  • Eliminates rat-holing, bridging, segregation or flushing and induces mass flow.
  • IBC’s can be handled by fork-lift truck, overhead crane, pallet jack, rail track or automatic container handling system.
  • Sanitary and hygienic versions available for food and pharmaceutical applications.
  • Full or partly full IBC’s can be removed from the discharge station at any time without risk of leakage.
  • Commonly used with load cells for accurate weighing applications.
  • Wide range of IBC container sizes and materials.

Solibin and Simbin Rigid IBC Systems

Solitec’s rigid IBC containers offer two options, along with a full range of ancillary equipment for filling, emptying and cleaning of containers. IBC Containers are offered in a range of materials, including Polyethylene, Mild Steel and Stainless Steel, with sizes from half-metre cube to three cubic metres, advancing by increments of quarter cubic metre
Both ranges are specifically designed to facilitate the discharge of loose solids into a process via an automatic valve and assisted vibration.

Choosing Between Simbin and Solibin

Which range suits your process depends on how often the IBC itself needs to change.

The Simbin range is frequently selected where there’s little need to change the product entering the process. The Simbin IBC valve engages on a fixed opening device on the discharge station, and it’s not always practical to remove the IBC until its contents are fully discharged.

The Solibin is specifically designed for the alternative case — frequent bin changes, or removal of a part-full bin. The Solibin system incorporates a pneumatic valve actuator and vibratory agitator within the discharge assembly, with a simple valve closure 520mm in diameter, allowing full or partly full IBCs to be removed from the discharge station at any time without risk of leakage.
