1000 Litre IBC Container UN Approved
The Standard 1000 Litre Tote for Bulk Liquid




What This Product Is
A UN approved 1000 litre IBC container measuring 1200 x 1000 x 1150mm and weighing 57kg, blow moulded from UV-stabilised natural HDPE in a galvanized steel frame with 4-way entry. It takes a DN150 6 inch or DN225 9 inch filling opening and a DN50 ball, DN50 butterfly or DN80 butterfly valve, and is marked UN31HA1/Y.
Key Benefits
- 1000 litres per movement replaces five 200 litre drums
- A DN80 butterfly valve option keeps viscous product discharging at a usable rate
- UV-stabilised natural HDPE and a galvanized frame suit outdoor storage
- The integrated pallet base takes forklifts and pallet jacks from all four sides
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Bulk liquid handled in drums takes five times the movements of a single tote
- Viscous product will not discharge at a workable rate through a small valve
- Outdoor storage degrades containers that are not UV stabilised
Application Scenarios
- Chemical producers and distributors moving liquid by the tonne
- Food, oil and agricultural processors receiving bulk ingredients
- Any operation converting from drum handling to bulk containers
