Use intermediate bulk containers, or IBCs, to store, transport, blend, and discharge a wide range of bulk solids including powders, pellets, granules, tablets, and more. Each of these types of food grade IBCs can be manufactured with a surface finish to meet your processing requirements.
Use these intermediate bulk containers with a dust tight IBC discharge system to refill a feeder’s hopper or eliminate feeders all together. Uniformly blend and mix powders and other bulk solids inside of an IBC using a tumbling blender. After discharging, cleaning is easy using an IBC washing plant.

Stainless steel intermediate bulk containers and IBC blending systems are a special type of custom blending equipment that are widely used in various industries for their durability and functionality in bulk powder processing. These containers are designed to store and transport large volumes of powders, liquids, and granules in a safe and secure manner.
These types of powder blending systems are constructed using high-quality finished stainless steel, making them strong, corrosion-resistant, and easy-to-clean. They are available in various sizes and shapes and can be custom designed to fit specific metal powder handling requirements. Stainless steel IBC containers and systems are a popular choice for industries that require powder mixing solutions for the bulk processing of powders, such as powder metallurgy, chemical, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, toll blending, and food industries.

Ratholing occurs in hoppers, bins, and intermediate bulk containers when cohesive powders with interlocking particles build up or cake on the walls or sides of the container. This occurs more frequently when powders are discharged using a butterfly valve or slide valve and the powder flow takes place directly above the outlet. This creates a funnel flow effect where the cohesive powders flow directly above the outlet, but eventually build up on the sides reducing or stopping flow and powder discharge all together. This results in increased processing time including container disassembly and cleaning.

An Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) System is used to prepare a homogeneous dry blend of base polymers and additives before the extrusion phase in a plastic compounding process. Plastic compounding and toll processing companies first use an IBC system to create a lab formulation or test to confirm final product characteristics before creating a masterbatch. Once a final product has been confirmed, the same IBC system is used to create a larger batch or production run.
IBC is easily transported by forklift to other discharge stations
This type of set up using an Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) System is also known as a decoupled system because ingredients can be moved, mixed, and blended independently inside the IBCs.

Food grade intermediate bulk container loaded onto an IBC discharge station above bag packaging equipment
Food grade intermediate bulk containers, or IBCs, are easier-to-use, clean, and add into existing operations at food and beverage processing and packaging plants.
The simplest version of an IBC discharge system would include a set of IBCs and a discharge station. This would replace traditional bulk bag unloaders and bulk bags.
