Greater Capacity
| Finncont
is well-known for its IBCs which make the maximum use of space. The
IBC's have a high usable capacity in proportion to their external
dimensions. This means that cargo space can be utilised to maximum
efficiency. Two layers of the 800 litre IBC can be stacked in a standard
shipping container whilst a normal road vehicle will take the 1000 litre
version double stacked. Transport and storage in Finncont IBC's is
therefore an economical solution.

Apart
from capacity, the dimensions of the Finncont composite IBCs have
been determined with ease of handling in mind, both when filling
and emptying the container. No awkward movements are required by
the operators as the IBCs are low in height and the connections
are conveniently located.The IBCs can easily be handled from any
side with forklift and pallet truck or, if specified, by crane
from the top corners.

Absolute
safety
Whether
you transport food or dangerous goods, it is important to deliver them
to their destination intact and in good condition. This is achieved by
selecting the grades of plastic materials which are compatible with the
goods to be
transported
and testing the construction of the IBC in extreme conditions. Durability
is guaranteed by combining a
rotationally
moulded container with thick walls, a valve which is designed for
industrial use and a frame providing protection against external impact.
Visible
in traffic
The
protective outer frame of the composite IBC can be painted in one of a
variety of standard colours, and identified with logos, signs and
numbering if required. The inner plastic container is usually supplied
in a natural colour, but if the product is sensitive to light a black
container can be specified. The steel frame can be supplied with hot dip
galvanized coating if preferred.
Longer
life
| Finncont
also manufacture steel and aluminum lBC's, and therefore demand a
comparable long life from composite lBC's. Only because of current
regulations, the use of the inner plastic container is limited to five
years for the transport of dangerous goods. After that time it
can be put to other
uses. However, for transport purposes the effective life of the
protective frame can be extended with a new plastic inner container.
Finncont’s first class expertise is also available when the necessary
2 1/2 year service needs to be carried out.
