At any given time, there are millions of liquid-filled drums and IBC “totes” in circulation around the world, transporting everything from edible oils and flavorings to detergents and solvents or other hazardous media such as sulfuric acid or potassium hydroxide. These containers provide industries an efficient way to deliver bulk liquid ingredients and products from the producers/manufacturers and blenders who package them to the end users — who, in turn, need to transfer the liquids into smaller containers, or into equipment for end-use processes.
Virtually any industry can benefit from closed system dispensing of both hazardous and nonhazardous liquids because there are multiple advantages for manufacturers, shippers, packagers and end users alike. Below are ten reasons you may want to adopt or specify closed system dispensing for your bulk liquid containers.
1. Ensure worker safety
2. Maintain purity of contents and prevent degradation
3. Maximize materials use for cost-efficiency
4. Prevent possible misconnections
5. Reduce cleanup costs
6. Reduce disposal costs
7. Support sustainable initiatives
8. Ship with UN/DOT approval
9. Meet cleanroom application needs
10. Control costs
