    IBC CLEANING

    Residue-free cleaning of a used IBC is immensely important in order to ensure optimal quality of products to be stored and transported after use, regardless of whether it is a liquid, sticky, or a free-flowing substance.

    Optimal cleaning ensures that you can easily meet even the highest quality requirements demanded by OEMs, even for particularly sensitive content.

    For your IBC, we use an innovative cleaning process, which over the years has been developed to perfection. When cleaning with solvents, a mechanical 3D cleaning system is used, this is particularly useful for transport containers with cubic or cylindrical designs from 250 - approx. 1,200 liters. The mechanical processing of the interior is carried out by a three-dimensional brush with individual bristle lengths that is capable of changing rotational direction. Together with the use of solvents, we can achieve an optimal cleaning result of the walls, floor, and topsoil area, in all of their different forms. At the same time, the spout is cleaned by another brush unit.

    The second step is a manual check, and if required, a manual post-clean carried out by our experienced cleaning specialists.
    The final step is the complete drying of the interior of the IBC.

    With a capacity of up to 90 cleanings per day in shift operation, over 2,000 IBCs per month can be cleaned by following this process.

    MAINTENANCE

    In the supply chain, your IBCs may be exposed to a variety of stresses and strains, and as such damage can occur which may affect their functionality.

    In this case, you are able to use our service solutions for the maintenance, repair, and also refurbishing of your valuable containers.

    As a recognized specialist company according to §19 l Wasserhaushaltsgesetzt (WHG) we have the approval and expertise to carry out many different types of work to keep your containers in perfect working condition:

    • Repairs to the tank
    • Leak testing
