Bins

Bins or Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) are made to specification in standard capacities ranging from 0.5-liters to 4000-liters in round, rectangular and square geometries. We also offer fully customized solutions for more demanding applications such as high containment systems.

The corners of our square IBCs, are always made with a 2” radius to allow for the easy cleaning, insuring that cross contamination is not caused by the IBC.

Interior and exterior welds are ground smooth and flush to the sheeting surface. We can supplyinterior finishing to any specification. Our high quality and precise welding allows for a perfect appearance after grinding and polishing. We also offer a complete line of manways and ports. For pharmaceutical applications we generally use our lightweight stamped lid system which is not only easy to remove and clean, but also weighs very little. Clamping is made simple by a one-piece over-center clamping ring with safety-tamper lock. Manway rings come in several styles, including a super clean fully welded design fitted to the bin top. Manway lids are available in standard sizes with both sanitary and low-cost designs.

Bin frames are made from totally enclosed tubing and offered with round vertical legs or square tubing and white recessed plastic feet so floors are not damaged during handling.
