WHAT IS A
BIG BAG?

The Big Bag, internationally known as FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container), is a container consisting of sheets of polypropylene used for transporting and/or storing different quantities of various types of loose solid products(chips, granules or powder)

Minini designs and markets Big Bags for every need. The Big Bag can be used in any type of industrial activity, from the chemical or mining industry right across the scale to the food industry with containers made of food-grade materials.

The Big Bag is an “intermediate” solution because its size and maximum load (from 500 to 2000 kg) make it the ideal way to package and transport loose products.

TYPES AND FEATURES

Big bags have a considerable advantage in industrial use, in other words you can save time and space. “Anti-bulge” bags, once filled, for example, thanks to reinforcing internal supports and the lack of concave surfaces, keep their original square or rectangular form. So useful space is optimised both during transportation and storage in the warehouse. In fact, storage capacity has proved greater by 16-23%..

Entirely in polypropylene, they are totally recyclable and reusable. Once empty, they can be folded to occupy less space in the warehouse.

Handling of Minini big bags does not require pallets because an integrated loop system allows them to be lifted easily. Each bag is labelled with information concerning inspection with relative information on the tests performed.

LOADING AND UNLOADING
INTO A BIG BAG

Loading and unloading of material into a big bag is very simple using outlets and inlets that also allow reduction of the quantities of dust generated during transportation.

MININI BIG BAGS HAVE 4 OPENING AND FILLING POSSIBILITIES AND 2 FOR EMPTYING.

  • FILLING

    Big Bag with butterfly opening: once the material has been loaded, the upper edges of the sack can be compressed and tied, resembling a butterfly.

    Big Bag with a “lid” opening: very simply, one side only is folded to close the sack.

    Big Bag with total opening: no closures, the material is visible.

    Big Bag with filling valve: the material passes through an opening narrower than the base of the sack.

  • EMPTYING

    Flat base: emptying not possible from bottom of bag.

    With discharge valve: opening at bottom of sack, of diameter inferior to bag base.
