500 Litre IBC Container UN Approved
Five Hundred Litres on a Standard Pallet Footprint
What This Product Is
A UN approved 500 litre IBC container measuring 1200 x 1000 x 750mm and weighing 48kg, blow moulded from UV-stabilised natural HDPE in a galvanized steel frame with 4-way entry. Filling is through DN150 or DN650 and discharge through a DN50 ball or butterfly valve, marked UN31HA1/Y with two label plates and four corner protectors.
Key Benefits
- A 1200 x 1000mm base matches standard pallet handling throughout the chain
- A DN650 filling option gives full access for cleaning and for viscous filling
- At 750mm high the loaded tote is low enough to stack under most ceilings
- UV-stabilised HDPE and a galvanized frame stand up to outdoor storage
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Non standard tote footprints break the pallet pattern in a warehouse and a container
- Small top openings make it slow to clean a tote between agrochemical products
- Bulk liquid handled in drums takes more movements per tonne than a tote
Application Scenarios
- Agrochemical blenders and distributors running standard pallet handling
- Food and chemical liquid packers who need a low profile tote
- Operations that clean and refill totes in house and need a large top opening
