IBC Containers
IBC stands for 'intermediate bulk container'. The 'intermediate' part refers to the capacity, which usually lies somewhere between that of a drum and a tank. They are basically stackable containers mounted on a pallet for the safe storage and transport of substances such as solvents, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, liquid food ingredients and so on. A typical IBC is usually cubed shaped, which gives it a substantial storage advantage over stacking drums on a pallet within the same footprint. They are produced for sale or lease in a number of different forms, with regulatory requirements and customers' needs determining the best choice.
