In food and beverage operations, intermediate bulk containers provide reliable storage and controlled handling for liquids, powders, concentrates, syrups, and a wide range of ingredients. Their reusability, versatility, and ability to be food-grade make them an ideal choice for the needs of the industry.
How to Use IBCs in the Food and Beverage Industry
Tote tanks are a perfect fit for multiple portions of the food and beverage workflow. Their controlled dispensing and large volume capacity make them a strong fit for batching, blending, ingredient storage, and transport between facilities. Many companies depend on IBCs to simplify movement across short and long distances while protecting product quality. Below are several advantages that make IBCs a preferred option.
Versatility
IBCs can hold liquids, semi-liquids, powders, and particulates. This versatility allows processors to use one container type across many different applications. From flavor concentrates to sweeteners and cleaning solutions, a single IBC can support many products without constant equipment changes.
Food Grade Containers
Most operations require materials that meet strict handling requirements. Food-grade IBCs are built to maintain hygienic storage and transport conditions. Many facilities also use liners to add an extra barrier for high-purity ingredients. This focus on compliance helps companies maintain quality control.
Reusable and Sustainable
Reusable IBCs help lower long-term packaging costs while reducing waste. These containers are designed for repeated use with proper cleaning and maintenance. Reconditioning services also extend the usable life of compatible totes.
