Fixed Intermediate Bulk Containers or FIBC bags as they are
widely known are stronger and can carry heavy materials, contrary to its flimsy
appearance. Flexibility and elasticity enable jumbo bags to absorb loading
shocks. FIBC bags are manufactured keeping in mind the international
regulations of safety. However, it has been observed that the use of fork lift
trucks for handling fibc bags are one of the major causes of damage. The
damages incurred are mainly due to the following reasons; failing to lift the
back from ground before shifting it forward or backwards, failing to bring the
lift truck to a halt before dispatching the materials in the bag, puncturing
the bags, and shoving these bags against sharp edges while in truck.
Most of the bags come with pop up loops which enables a
truck operator to discharge bags from a stack independently. The manual
practice of an assistant climbing on the bags and attaching the thread to the
bag lifting loops is extremely dangerous.
Yet another kind of risk involved while dealing with jumbo
bags is of explosion while filling or discharging materials. This is primarily
caused when there is a combustible material in the surrounding atmosphere. While
filling or discharging, some bulk materials create static electricity, which
can be extremely dangerous if there is any inflammable gas in the atmosphere.
This if not checked can lead to massive explosions. In order to prevent such
mishaps, conductive fibc bags are the best solution.
However, this can be prevented by using conductive jumbo
bags.
Conductive Jumbo bags are manufactured using conductive
fibers which are produced using latest technology to get the best conductive
properties. The conductive jumbo bags are manufactured by weaving conductive
fibers with the help of looms designed specially to weave conductive bags.
Properties such as insulation values, tensile, and elongation, all are
thoroughly monitored to ensure optimum quality.
These bags are also known as groundable bags. These
conductive jumbo bags reduce the static electricity in bag wall to a safe and
non-hazardous level while filling it. These bags reduce the level of risk
involved while filling and emptying substance. These types of bags were
originally manufactured using conductive materials. Today, these bags are made
using polypropylene mingled with conductive yarns, and usually in a grid
pattern.
