Big Bags and Accessories

First introduced in the 1940s for the transportation of black carbon, big bags became popular in various sectors soon after, not least construction, materials processing, mining, animal nutrition, fertiliser production, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, disposal and recycling. Now a staple of all facets of industry, these storage solutions go by many names among professionals: bulk bags, jumbo bags, industrial bags, dumpy bags and flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC).

Big bags from DENIOS are designed specifically as flexible storage, transport and disposal containers for materials such as sand, turf, fertiliser, green waste, mulch or rubble. Available in various configurations and sizes, big bags are intended for universal use – from storage to transportation to disposal – and require minimal storage space when not filled. Lifting loops enable the industrial bags to be hoisted by crane or forklift and all variants come with a flap top and closed bottom to prevent spillage or contact with hazardous materials during transit or when in temporary storage.

For specialist materials, we offer marked options such as the asbestos bags. We recognise the importance of making people aware of dangerous contents. That is why these bags are designed to help workers keep potentially hazardous materials – such as asbestos rubble – separate from others. These feature an upper flap and have a weight limit of 1,000kg.

Several of our industrial bags are made from uncoated polypropylene fabric. The standard style for this product is an open top and a closed floor – ideal for the most common storage requirements of materials such as sand or aggregate. Similar bags feature a flap top, which enables the user to keep the contents dry and concealed, although these have a weight limit of around 1,000kg.

While big bags can be filled manually, they are best employed as part of a mechanical setup to make filling, handling, transportation and emptying easier. The following accessories have been carefully selected by DENIOS to provide an optimum on-site setup:

Big bag hoist bracket

Made of steel and with a maximum load capacity rating of 1,500 kg, a hoist bracket (available in an angled or flat design) allows for the safe and secure lifting and transportation of a full big bag. The loops at the corners of the big bag are attached to the stainless steel hooks protruding from each end of the bracket. This keeps the big bag stable and even during transit.

Big bag release valve

A release valve traps the top of a big bag in its grip, enabling it to be opened and closed manually at will and guaranteeing the smooth discharge of the bag’s contents. It does not require an electrical connection and can be deployed immediately. This is a hygienic solution, as there is no contact between the bag and the filler, making it ideal for use in food production.

Stands and frames

Dispensing stands and frames are the best way to store big bags safely when not in use. Made of galvanised steel and consisting of a base, an upper section and four connection pipes, these structures are highly robust and can be stacked on three levels. They feature built-in pockets to facilitate transportation via forklift truck.
