INTERMEDIATE BULK CONTAINERS

With our fleet of more than 60,000 intermediate bulk containers (IBC totes), HOYER offers the chemical, foodstuffs and cosmetics industries in China an ideal alternative to drums and tank containers to support bulk goods transport and container logistics for their liquid products. These small containers are available in various stainless steel grades, designs and sizes, some with agitators, heating and dangerous goods approval.

LITTLE ALL-ROUNDERS

Our IBC fleet consists of standardized IBC types as well as a large number of individual small containers with the necessary accessories. The IBCs are available in various volumes between 400 liters and 1,100 liters. With this capacity, they are ideally suitable for IBC transport and storage of chemical products, liquid foodstuffs or food additives, as well as cosmetic products. Thanks to flexible terms of lease, our IBCs are versatile in use for bulk container logistics and efficient product handling. For batch movements in production, our IBCs offer a space-saving means of bulk packaging. This allows packaging material to be reduced.

IBC Range Cosmetics

Particularly in demand with our customers are heatable IBCs for the food industry, cylindrical containers for the paint and coating industries, and pressure containers – so-called Mini Pressure Tanks (MPTs) for specialty chemicals. The stainless steel containers are cleaned according to the highest sustainability standards and are thus reusable and particularly long-lived. From distribution and storage to maintenance and cleaning in our depot network, we take over parts of your supply chain, or even complete fleet management.
