How to Properly Fill an FIBC
Properly filling an FIBC bulk bag isn't just about efficiency — it's a safety-critical step in your handling process. This short video covers the key do's and don'ts for safe filling, including:
Never suspend an FIBC using fewer lift loops than provided. All rated loops must be used together to keep the bag within its safe working load.
Fill slowly and evenly to avoid uneven stress on the bag walls and seams.
Confirm the bag's safe working load (SWL) matches your fill weight before starting.
Inspect lift loops, seams, and the base for damage before every fill.
For bags rated for hazardous materials or requiring static protection, see our UN-Certified Hazmat FIBC page or Type C / Type D anti-static bags. Questions about the right bag for your filling process? Contact our team for specification support.
