Precautions for Using IBC Tanks

Hello, everyone!

This is Cheoldang Co., Ltd.

Today, we’d like to talk about IBC tanks, which are widely used across various industrial fields.

Compared to PE drums or steel drums, IBC tanks are more efficient in terms of transportation, stacking, and storage per unit area, making them highly valuable in multiple fields. However, even the best tools need to be used correctly to realize their full value.

So today, based on Cheoldang’s guidance, let's go over some essential precautions to keep in mind when using IBC tanks.

Precautions When Packaging High-Temperature Products

First, when packaging high-temperature products, always check that the internal temperature of the IBC tank does not exceed 60°C. Packaging products at excessively high temperatures can deform or damage the tank material. For example, if the tank expands or warps due to heat, it may lead to leaks. It's essential to allow the product to cool sufficiently before filling the tank. Such careful management ensures the safety of both the product and the tank.

Proper Capacity and Stacking Precautions

IBC tanks have a specified capacity, and exceeding it may result in tank damage or overflow. By adhering to the capacity specified in the usage guide, you can maximize the tank's performance. Small errors can lead to major issues, so maintaining the proper capacity is essential for safe usage.

When stacking IBC tanks, avoid stacking them more than three layers high. Overstacking can exert excessive pressure on the bottom tank, leading to potential damage. During transport, ensure the weight is balanced and the tanks remain level, which helps maintain stability on the move. Safe stacking and transport protect both the tank and its contents.

Discharge Method for Contents

When discharging contents from an IBC tank, open the top cap first to regulate the internal pressure. Abruptly discharging contents can strain the tank or cause splashing. Opening the top cap and discharging slowly helps prevent these issues. This small step plays a crucial role in creating a safe work environment, so keep it in mind.

Use in Low-Temperature Environments

In freezing temperatures, the IBC tank’s valve may freeze and get damaged. If the valve freezes, you may not be able to discharge the contents, leading to significant issues. In cold environments, regularly check the valve and adjust the temperature if necessary. By following these precautions for low-temperature conditions, you can safely use the tank for an extended period.
