Overview
The Conical Bag is designed specifically to assist in the complete discharge of contents, which are slightly sticky, like brown sugar and premix flour products. The conical shape at the bottom of the bag ensures that the bulk bag can be discharged quickly and easily.
CONICAL FIBC
The Ultimate Guide to Conical FIBC Bags
Conical FIBC bags are a specialized solution designed to tackle one of the most common challenges in bulk handling: discharging sticky or non-free-flowing materials. Standard flat-bottom bags can trap product in the corners, leading to waste and requiring manual intervention to shake the bag empty.
The Conical bag solves this by tapering the fabric at the base into a cone shape. This funnels the material directly towards the discharge spout, using gravity to its fullest advantage. Even materials that tend to bridge or cake, such as brown sugar, clay, or premix flours, flow out much more smoothly and completely.
This design is not just about convenience; it's about efficiency and safety. By ensuring complete discharge, companies reduce product loss. Furthermore, workers do not need to stand under or near a suspended bag to manually massage the corners, significantly improving workplace safety during the unloading process.
Commercial Uses
The food processing industry is a primary user, specifically for ingredients like brown sugar, milk powder, and prepared flour mixes which are prone to clumping.
In the construction and mining sectors, Conical bags are used for clay, dyes, and pigments that can be cohesive and difficult to empty completely from standard bags.
Chemical plants use them for various powders that attract moisture and become sticky, ensuring that expensive raw materials are fully utilized with zero waste left in the packaging.
