Featured Case Study: Stressed Bags
Bulk Lift’s Response to Stressed Bags Results in a Stronger, More Resistant Bulk Bag Solution
Situation
Customers shared concerns within the industry of material failures in the supply chain. Their products, which were contained in bulk bags, were sometimes exposed to higher process temperatures exceeding 100 C. As a result, the FIBCs became stressed resulting in webbing failures.
Solution
Upon hearing feedback, the team at Bulk Lift International Inc. went to work to construct a FIBC that could withstand higher stress components, specifically high temperature exposure. The answer was to develop lifting loops with a higher temperature resistance than traditional Polypropylene (PP) resin. A prototype FIBC was created using Polyester (PET) resin and then tested for resistance to higher temperatures and UV exposure. See test results provided below:
Results
The team manufactured a FIBC that met both the required strength 5:1 SWL when subjected to prolonged UV exposure, and performed at higher temperatures (150 C) when compared to the standard PP webbing material. Distinctive color markings were added to the loops to differentiate from standard loop materials.
Total customer satisfaction means a commitment to delivering new design concepts and service that help guarantee our Right Bag, on TimeTM promise.
