Key Features & Specifications:

• Material & Construction: Seamless, cross-linked HDPE inner tank, resistant to corrosion, impact, and many chemicals. Housed in a rigid steel cage for structural integrity and secure stacking.

• Capacity & Dimensions: Standard 1000-liter (264-gallon) capacity, with a footprint designed for efficient pallet jack and forklift handling.

• Discharge & Filling: Typically features a 2" NPT discharge valve (often butterfly-type) at the base and a larger 6" - 8" threaded fill cap on top for easy access.

• Compliance: Manufactured to meet international standards (e.g., UN/DOT for certified models, FDA standards for food-grade applications).

Primary Applications:
This container is suitable for a wide range of sectors, including:

• Industrial Chemicals: Storage of process water, solvents, and non-hazardous liquid chemicals.

• Food & Beverage: Handling of food-grade liquids like oils, syrups, and ingredients (requires food-grade certification).

• Agriculture: Dispensing of liquid fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation solutions.

• Pharmaceuticals/Cosmetics: Storage of raw materials and intermediate products.

Operational Advantages:

• Space Efficiency: Designed for secure, multi-tier stacking, maximizing warehouse or transport space.

• Durability & Longevity: The HDPE and steel cage construction ensures a long service life, even in demanding environments.

• Safety & Containment: The integrated secondary containment spill pallet (in most designs) mitigates the risk of leaks and spills.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Reusable and recyclable, offering a lower total cost of ownership compared to single-use drums.

Selection & Safety Considerations:

• Chemical Compatibility: Always verify the chemical compatibility of HDPE with the specific liquid to be stored. Aggressive acids, oxidizers, or certain solvents may not be suitable.

• Static Electricity: For flammable liquids, specify a conductive or static-dissipative IBC to prevent static discharge.

• Handling & Weight: A full 1000L container can weigh over 1,100 kg. Ensure handling equipment is rated for the load and that floors can support the weight.

• Cleaning & Maintenance: The smooth inner surface facilitates cleaning, but proper procedures are essential for product changeover, especially in food and pharmaceutical applications.
