Things You Should Know Before Purchasing Baffle Jumbo Bags
The annual global demand for Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC) is 7.5 MMT. The Baffle Bulk Bags or Q Bags is one of the most widely used FIBC with application across agro, infrastructure, and mining industries.
The Basics of Baffle Bags
Regular FIBCs tend to bulge out along the middle when filled optimally, thus compromising on storage space. But when standard FIBC bags are sewn with baffle fabric panels sewn across each corner, it gives them structural firmness. These are Baffle Bulk Bags, Baffle Jumbo Bags, or Q Bags as they are also known as.
The addition of baffles to FIBC improves load stability, optimizes storage capacity, thus efficiently utilizing shipping space. These Baffle Jumbo Bags are preferred largely for the ability to hold their cubic shape as materials flow uniformly to all corners, allowing to load up to 30% more material than regular FIBCs. With the lowest package to product weight ratio, a baffle bulk bag that weighs as little as 5-7 lbs. (2-3 Kg), can surprisingly, contain one metric ton of solid product.
Baffle Bag Designs
We manufacture Bulk bags with baffles in two different structural designs – U-Panel, and 4-Panel.
U-panel baffle bags have three body panels: a continuous piece of fabric that connects two opposite sides with the bottom panel, forming a U-shape and two separate pieces at the remaining opposite sides.
4-Panel Baffle Bags have four separate pieces of fabric sewn together to give it its structure. Despite having different constructional structures, each of these baffle bag types holds a square shape when loaded with products.
Benefits of Baffle Jumbo Bags
Apart from being a cost-effective yet environment-friendly answer to storage and transportation issues of bulk packaging, other reasons that make these type of FIBCs a compelling choice are:
- Clean Form – The baffles in a standard FIBC allow it to hold its shape better. No bulging of the loaded bags means clean, uniform shapes.
- Better Storage – Neat form of the Baffle bags allows being lined up or stacked easily, thus ensuring optimal use of storage space and reduced freight charges.
- Structural integrity – The baffles ensure that the bags, when filled up to their Safe Weighing Load (SWL), maintain structural shape, and do not topple over when stacked up, thus reducing spillage.
- Easy Handling – The baffles, the structure, form, and lift straps of Baffle bags promote easy handling when loaded. The lift straps make top lifting convenient.
