IBCs
Patrico offers a dependable selection of Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) for storing and transporting bulk liquids, semi-solids, and powders. Our IBCs are built for strength, stability, and efficiency, making them ideal for high-volume operations across industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, manufacturing, and chemical processing.
Cost-Effective Bulk Solutions
We supply 1000L composite IBCs and reconditioned IBCs, designed to maximise space while ensuring safe, practical handling. Each unit features a robust HDPE inner tank, protective metal cage, and a bottom valve for easy dispensing. Whether you’re handling raw materials or finished products, our IBCs provide the capacity and durability to keep your operations flowing.
Our reconditioned IBCs offer a more economical option for non-food or non-UN-regulated applications. These units are professionally cleaned and restored for reuse, making them suitable for storing or transporting compatible materials in industrial, agricultural, or general-purpose environments.
While reconditioned IBCs are no longer classified as UN-approved or food-grade, they remain a practical, environmentally friendly solution for less sensitive contents. If you’re unsure which IBC type best suits your needs, our team is happy to help you make the right selection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IBC?
An IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) is a stackable, reusable container designed for storing and transporting bulk liquids, solids, and semi-solids. Most IBCs hold 1,000–1,250L, and feature an HDPE tank, metal cage, and bottom dispensing valve.
What are reconditioned IBCs?
Reconditioned IBCs are used containers that have been cleaned and restored for reuse. While no longer UN-approved or food-grade, they are suitable for general industrial storage and reduce environmental waste.
Can diesel be stored in an IBC tank?
Yes, but only for short-term use. Over time, diesel can degrade HDPE, making the container unfit for storage. For long-term diesel storage, specialist containers are recommended.
