FAQ

An FIBC is a large woven polypropylene bag used to store and transport ores, concentrates, aggregates, minerals, and other dry bulk materials. They support efficient handling and reduce packaging waste on mining sites.

Fine concentrates, powders, and moisture‑sensitive materials often require PE liners to prevent contamination, moisture ingress, or product loss during transport.

Common sizes range from 35×35×35 in. to 40×40×60 in., depending on product density, flow characteristics, and weight requirements.

Reuse depends on the bag’s safety rating, condition, and whether the application allows for safe reuse.

We supply 4‑loop, tunnel‑loop, single‑loop, and two‑point lifting designs to support cranes, forklifts, telehandlers, and other site handling equipment.

 BWI recommends coated bags, sift‑proof construction, or PE liners to control dusting, prevent sifting, and protect materials from moisture.

Mining Materials Commonly Packaged in FIBC (Bulk Bags)

Ores, mineral concentrates, aggregates, sand, gravel, crushed stone, bentonite, silica, limestone, gypsum, lime, refractory materials, industrial minerals, blasting media, absorbent granules, filtration media, tailings samples, drilling additives.
