UN Approved Refurbished IBCs

Definition of a Pensteel Refurbished container:

(1)   Our IBC manufacturer collects containers from UK users under a “Ticket Collection System”.

These IBC returns are processed for possible refurbishment 

(2) The redundant IBC is taken to an appraisal site and is there divided into its two main modular sections Bottle and Cage.

(3) The used bottle in every case is destroyed irrespective of its condition.

(4) The cage and pallet section of the IBC, if suitable, is steam cleaned, examined for specification tolerances, cosmetically improved (as much as is possible) and sent back to the manufacturing plant for Re-Build assessment.

(5) Fabrication Operatives assess the cage and pallet and if the operatives are satisfied that it can perform as new, then and only then, is it sent forward for rebuilding.

(6) The cage and pallet are then fitted with a NEW HDPE Inner receptacle. All parts of the IBC that come into contact with the liquid i.e. the bottle, top cap, all seals and valve are NEW – the container is tested as a new IBC, and guaranteed for performance as new.

The refurbished IBC is the nearest you get to a new IBC Unit.

Don't forget the advantages of this system regarding the current Waste Regulations - Only the bottle and bottle parts are new; the cage and pallet are recycled.

Weights:                      Cage and Pallet recycled = 45 Kgs.

                                    New bottle and new parts = 20 Kgs.

A Note of caution, washed second hand IBCs are NOT UN certified, and cannot be supplied as UN certified unless supplied by the original manufacturer
