FIBCs

CUBE BAG, NEXT GEN FIBC
ADVANTAGES OF A CUBE BAG:

1. Better Aesthetics, providing better value to your product.
2. Better Dimensional stability, leading to higher stackability.
3. Square/Rectangular shape after filling, leading to lower cost of handling and transport on per kg basis.
4. All of the above lead to higher margins in your business.

Cube bag has all the advantages of Rigid FIBCs in terms of dimensional stability, and cost & transport advantages of a Flexible IBC. This is like having your cake and eating it too!!

Also, in comparison to conventional baffle bag, it transports 8% more material in same space available. Imagine the millions which can be saved in cost of transportation alone!

Following table gives you the comparison with a standard baffle bag.

EXAMPLE OF SAVINGS USING A CUBE BAG

40’ HC container inside dimensions are:

2.347×12.056×2.684 m (92.25”x474.5”x101.5”)

Such a container can take 20 bales of foot print 46”x47”. Assuming 15.5” space for 2 pallets and stacking margin, filled height of the bale can be 43” ( 43+43+15.5 = 101.5).

For a foot print of 46×47, cube bag size will be 45.5×46.5, and that of a baffle bag will be 43.5x 44.5. The cubic feet per bale will be:

Cube bag – 46.5*45.5*43/12/12/12 = 52.65

Baffle bag – 43.5*44.5*43*1.03/12/12/12 = 49.61

We have considered 3% increase capacity in baffle bag due to bulging of areas between baffles, which leads to increase in baffle bag foot print.

So for 20 bales, cube bag will transport 52.65*20 = 1053 cft and baffle bag will transport 49.61*20 = 992 cft.

Assuming 1053 cft corresponds to 44000 lbs, 992 cft will correspond to 41450 lbs, and if cost of loading, transport and unloading one container is usd 3000, cost per 1000 lbs is as under:

Cube bag – 68.18

Baffle bag – 72.38

That is a saving of usd 4.2 per 1000 lbs, meaning for a plant producing 30 Million lbs of a product every year (2×40’ container load every day), it transpires to a saving of usd 126,000.00 every year!!

So what are you waiting for, enquire it today, use it from 2 months down the line and start counting your cash!!

Our Super Stable jumbo bag has a unique round bottom construction and therefore offers great valuable advantages as compared to other Standard jumbo bags:

• Extremely stable, allows high stackability (depending upon body fabric used), saving costly ground space.
• Very competitive as compared to the conventional baffle bags.
• Occupies lower ground space with respect to standard square/rectangular base bags.
• Lower fabric expansion allows bags to be stored in racks with fixed spacing.
• Same volume in lower height with respect to standard bags.

This is a term for our circular baffle jumbo bag with no side seams. This construction offers a better stability; better sift resistance and lower costs. It is a new concept on which patent has been applied.
Advantages of Tubo Baffle Bags over Standard 4 Panel Baffle bags:

• Saves about 25 to 50 cents per bag for sift resistant bags.
• Since bag weight is lower, freight costs in importing are lower.
• Due to lesser sewing, bag safety is superior.
• Due to lesser sewing, bag sift resistant is superior and less costly.
• Due to lesser sewing, contamination issues are reduced

This product line requires a very high degree of cleanliness and every care is taken to ensure this our hygiene bags are completely safe for direct food contact packaging. Such bags are made in a clean room environment certified by the stringent norms of ISO 22000:2005 and BRC.

The entire production unit is guided by the Good Manufacturing Practices and the Company’s strong systems formulated over years of experience. Not just the use of virgin resin, every stage of the manufacturing process and inspection ensures that such products meet the highest standards in all respects. Apart from the various checkpoints, all bags pass through our high pressure cleaning and metal detection process and are packed in a Hygienic manner.

There are several products which generate static charge when they come in contact with plastic surfaces during filling, emptying or during the transportation. It is recommended to use Type C or D bags while filling such products so that there is no hazard even if the charge comes in contact with flammable products or environment.

Type C bags are made with a conductive network of Silver/Carbon yarn and carbon films that safely ground the electrostatic charge. The conductive Network dissipates all the charge to mother earth through the grounding tabs. Each and every part of each and every bag is ensured to have a grounding resistance of less than 100 Mega Ohms.

Type D bags dissipate the charge in air. This is done through micro fibres which dissipate the charge in air before it reaches any critical limit to cause shock or flaming. These bags do not require any grounding, but the operators handling these bags must protect themselves from being an easier path to static dissipation by using proper insulated footwear and hand gloves if handling any earthed part while handling these bags.

Both these bags play an important role in ensuring the safety in case of highly flammable atmospheres.

Renowned testing institutes like Shirley and Chilworth have verified the electrostatic properties of both types of these jumbo bags.

For handling of hazardous materials, there are very stringent requirements for bag performance, which can be complied with by experience, technology, knowledge, and consistency. SafeFlex has complete in-house testing facilities for all the groups of UN bags. Be it drop test, compression test or righting test, procedures, and systems are in place. SafeFlex has been giving UN bags for all three groups and in all three varieties of un-coated, coated, and liner FIBCs.

There are thousands of chemicals bearing various properties and at SafeFlex we ensure that their properties remain intact so that the users get the deliveries in their original best form. Our chemical jumbo bags are designed keeping into consideration the different behaviours of the product being filled. Many critical parameters, not limited to, are as under:

• Fineness of the product, like 3 micron powders which flow like water are handled by use of triple dust proof construction.
• Hygroscopic materials are handled by use of liners.
• Super sensitive materials which require critical barrier properties to oxygen and other gases besides moisture are packed using barrier films made from PET, Nylon or Aluminium Foil, as needed.
• Materials to be provided with least transportation costs require different baffle designs which are developed according to specific transportation means and storage spaces.

Fertilizers are packed in bulk quantities and require a careful packaging due to the nature of their contents. These bags are made in single loop and double loop options with or without inserted / suspended liners. Normally in customized sizes ranging from 60 x 55 x 120 cms to 90x90x150 cms, fertilizer bags are designed to suit optimally for filling and safely handling 500 kg to 1250 kgs of product.

Liner blowing and fabrication is very critical in these jumbo bags as bag filling at high speeds with due safety is of prime importance.

Also, cost of packing is a substantial element in fertilizers and that is why advanced versions of these bags in roll forms etc are being made by us which virtually automate the bag filling process.

Agricultural produce: – several products like potatoes, carrots, peanuts etc need very specialized packing to keep the contents fresh for much longer period of time. At SafeFlex, we have specialized set of machinery to produce these Ventilated jumbo bags with the breath-ability best suitable for the product.

And it is just not the machinery, but the technology used with them to get the right product out from the plant, first time, every time.

Mineral bags are another segment wherein the requirement is generally in bulk quantities and used for filling and transporting minerals directly from mines to the various refining divisions. Our robust FIBCs are custom designed depending on nature of the product filled like UN bags for hazardous product handling made as per the legislation governing the packaging, transportation and storage of such goods; very tough and rugged bags for sharp edged materials, hood loop bags for ease of filling etc.

For filling in bulk construction materials like sand, gravels, cement-concrete mix, soil, debris etc. our builder bulk bags are available in sizes ranging from 85 x 85 x 85 cm to 90 x 90 x 90 cm for 1000 kg and 90 x 90 x 110 cm for 1500 kg in single trip and multi trip options. Used repeatedly by renowned builder merchants, SafeFlex builder bags are designed for tough, durable and hassle-free performance, yet are inexpensive.
