Schuetz Ecobulk HX container

Ecobulk HX is a container for highly viscous filling goods. The container has a sloping base, a specially shaped outlet area and a low-lying discharge tap. A further inner tank inside the steel grid acts as a support cushion for the slanted base. According to the company, the IBC provides almost 100% residual draining.

The use of conventional stirring systems is compatible with the large DN 225 filling opening. The shape of the silicone and lubricant-free inner bottle enables good stirring results even with small residual quantities of 50 L.

The company says the IBC offers advantages compared with steel containers, which include low purchase cost and no other expenses for cleaning, repairs, collection logistics or inspections. They say the single-use container does not have a risk of contamination from previous goods and will not heat up rapidly like a steel container.

A new inner bottle is inserted for every multi-trip use and the product weighs 88 kg, compared with the 270 kg of a stainless steel IBC.

The transparent plastic inner bottle enables monitoring of the filling level and the company claims that bottle exchange and recycling during reconditioning is environmentally preferable to chemical cleaning.

The container includes an acid protector shield, which protects the discharge area from contact with corrosive filling goods and product residues.
