Advantages
include:
IMPROVED SAFETY: The manual material handling
of bulk material in bags and drums and the discharging of material
into process equipment can expose workers to lifting injuries. Bulk
Bags require less manual movement since they require a mechanical
means (fork truck, pallet jack, or hoist ) to move the container and
introduce it into the process.
COST SAVINGS: The labor cost per container is
typically reduced when bulk bags are used. The lifting, opening,
dumping, and disposal of forty, 50-lb paper bags is in most cases
greater than positioning and opening one 2000-lb. bulk bag.
ECONOMICAL PACKAGING: As bag capacity
increases, tare weight as a percentage of material weight decreases.
This means more material can be shipped with less packaging for the
same cost. Properly sized bulk bags can also be positioned and stacked
more efficiently to heights exceeding that of smaller bags, maximizing
shipping container usage and storage facility space.
When determining if your product or process is
suitable for bulk bag use, it is important to work with an experienced
bulk bag supplier. A large percentage of all complaints to bulk bag
and machinery manufacturers are due to improper bag sizing or styles.
