IBC Containers (Intermediate Bulk Containers)
High capacity industrial & food grade bulk tanks
Our stainless steel IBC tanks are the preferred shipping and storage container for numerous industries. They protect anything stored inside, and thanks to their UN rating, stainless steel IBC tanks can carry industrial and hazardous goods such as fuel, solvents, industrial lubricants, hazardous waste, and chemicals. They are also food grade certified, so can safely transport food products like edible oils, soy sauce,honey, alcoholic beverages, fruit juices, food additives, etc. with or without a tank liner.

This tank is designed for gravity-fed systems, where the height creates natural pressure for flow. The vertical orientation also simplifies cleaning—solids settle at the bottom where the outlet is located, and the smooth cylindrical walls allow for effective CIP spray coverage.
We build these for customers who need efficient use of floor space: processing plants with crowded layouts, laboratories with limited room, or any application where a small footprint matters. The tall, narrow profile fits into corners, between equipment, or along walls where a wider tank wouldn't go.
Fabricated from 304 or 316L stainless steel, with a sloped or conical bottom for complete drainage. Full documentation included with every order.
This 500L horizontal stainless steel tank is designed for installations where height is limited or where you need a low-profile storage solution. The cylindrical body sits on a welded stand, with the outlet positioned at the lowest point for complete drainage.
We build these for customers with space constraints—processing facilities with overhead conveyors, laboratories with low ceiling heights, or mobile applications where a tall tank would be unstable. The horizontal orientation also creates a larger top surface area, making it easier to mount pumps, filters, or instrumentation directly on the tank.
Fabricated from 304 or 316L stainless steel, with full documentation and pressure testing. Custom fittings and options available.
Safety features include a 400mm manhole with gasketed cover for easy access and cleaning, a 150mm manual vent valve for pressure release, and a DN50 bottom outlet for controlled dispensing. The inner liner is 304 stainless steel – corrosion‑resistant, non‑reactive, and simple to clean. For food‑grade applications, we can mirror‑polish the interior (Ra ≤ 0.8μm) to prevent flavor transfer and meet hygiene standards.
Explosion‑proof construction is available for hazardous environments. Optional upgrades include a removable frame, integrally stamped one‑piece liner (fewer welds), or a 316 stainless steel liner for aggressive chemicals. The drum is non‑foldable, has no wheels, and is moved by forklift via four‑way pallet entry. It handles outdoor storage well thanks to durable 304 stainless steel.
Safety features include a DN159 sealed top cover, a 150mm manual vent valve to release pressure, and a 50mm ball valve for controlled dispensing. The inner liner is made of 304 stainless steel, which resists corrosion and is easy to clean. For food‑grade applications, we can provide a mirror‑polished interior (Ra ≤ 0.8μm) and a 400mm manhole instead of the standard DN159 cover. Explosion‑proof construction is available for hazardous environments. Optional add‑ons include a removable frame, integrally stamped liner (one‑piece, fewer welds), or a 316 stainless steel liner for aggressive chemicals.
This IBC is not foldable and has no wheels—it is moved by forklift via four‑way pallet entry. It is suitable for outdoor storage thanks to its durable 304 stainless steel build.
This 1000L stainless steel tank solves it with a large opening cover. The lid spans most of the top surface, giving you full access to the interior. Add ingredients by scoop, drop in mixing blades, or climb inside for a thorough clean—all without unbolting a dozen fittings.
We build these tanks for customers who need more than just liquid storage. Food processors adding dry ingredients. Chemical blenders combining powders and liquids. Pharmaceutical operations requiring visual inspection of every batch. The large opening turns a storage tank into a versatile processing vessel.
Fabricated from 304 or 316L stainless steel, with a welded stand or pallet base. Full documentation included with every order.
This 1000L stainless steel tank is equipped with a side-mounted magnetic flap gauge that shows liquid level at a glance. No electronics. No moving parts inside the tank. Just a float that rises and falls with the liquid, turning a magnetic indicator on the outside from white to red as the level changes.
We build these tanks for customers who need reliable, non-powered level indication. Chemical plants where electronics are a hazard. Food facilities where cleanliness matters. Anywhere operators need to know inventory without climbing a ladder or opening a hatch.
