IBC Container for Industrial Storage and Transport
Learn about the characteristics of theIBC containerdesigned for the safe transport of liquids and the efficient handling of bulk inputs in different productive sectors.
What is an IBC container?
TheIBC container(Intermediate Bulk Container) is an industrial container specially designed for the transport, organization and safe storage of all kinds of liquids in large quantities.
It also has a cubic structure that makes its handling with machinery easier and helps fluids be distributed efficiently along production lines.
At Glovesa, we manufacture these containers using selected materials through processes that ensure maximum stability and strength against heavy work.
Why choose a 1000-liter IBC container?
Reinforced structure: Its galvanized tubular steel cage withstands strong impacts and protects the contents from sudden movements during transport.
Withstands outdoor weather:It is made with materials that withstand direct sun and moisture without rusting or weakening its structure.
Safe and clean material:The IBC container is made of food-grade virgin plastic, which ensures the liquids are not contaminated and lets you see the fill level.
Efficient logistics:Its pallet base helps provide a secure hookup with forklifts and stable stacking, optimizing space in warehouses.
IBC Container Model by application
We manufacture eachIBC tankwith your sector’s demands in mind, ensuring efficient and safe handling of the liquid load or industrial inputs within any plant.
1000-Liter IBC Container
It has a 6-inch top lid for comfortable filling and a 2-inch bottom outlet valve for controlled dispensing. It is the most versatile IBC drum on the market, ideal for water, food inputs and industrial fluids.
- Capacity: 1000 Liters
- Visual control: Its semi-translucent material makes it easy to check the liquid level at a glance.
- Integrated base: Its steel pallet helps move it quickly and safely with any forklift.
What is the IBC container used for?
TheIBC tanksare designed to make the safe storage, transport and distribution of bulk liquids and fluids easier in various industrial sectors.
Chemical and Industrial Products
Its inner high-density polyethylene (HDPE) container is highly resistant to acids, alkaline solutions and reagents without suffering corrosion or leaks.
Drinking Water Storage
It works perfectly as an IBC water container for construction sites, factories or camps. Being made of virgin plastic, it keeps the water clean and odorless.
Oil, Lubricants and Additives
The ideal option for storing industrial oils, hydraulic oils or automotive additives. Its airtight seal protects the contents from outside moisture.
Liquid Inputs and Agro-industry
Thanks to its food-grade material, it safely transports everything from bulk juices and syrups to liquid fertilizers for the field.
Manufacturing Materials: High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
The inner component of this IBC container is made of virgin high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the reference material in the industry for its advantages over other storage options:
Material Comparison
| Feature | Polyethylene (PE) | Metal |
|---|---|---|
| Impact resistance | ✅ Excellent (does not corrode with acids or alkalis) | ⚠️ Variable (can rust with certain chemicals) |
| Weight | ✅ Lightweight (easy to move and arrange in the warehouse) | ❌ Heavy (makes logistics difficult without a load) |
| Level monitoring | ✅ Easy (translucent material to see the liquid) | ❌ Impossible (you must open the container to check) |
| Service life and reuse | ✅ High (washes easily and is used many times) | ❌ Lower (interior rust can damage the contents) |
