Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) are commonly used in industries such as food processing, chemical manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. They are designed to hold large quantities of liquid or solid materials and are an efficient and cost-effective method for storage and transportation. If you're using IBCs, you may be wondering where to find the tare weight. At Basco, we're here to provide some information on IBC tare weight and where to find it.
What is a "tare weight"?
The tare weight of an IBC refers to its weight when empty, without any product or material inside. The tare weight is essential because it helps you determine the weight of the materials inside the container accurately. This information is crucial when shipping or transporting IBCs, as it ensures that the weight does not exceed the maximum limit allowed for the mode of transportation.
Where to find an IBC's tare weight?
You can typically find the tare weight of an IBC printed on its label or plate. This information should be easily accessible and clearly marked on the container, as it's an essential part of the IBC's identification and tracking.
If you're having trouble locating the tare weight on your IBC, you can also check the manufacturer's documentation or contact the manufacturer directly. They should be able to provide you with the necessary information or guide you on how to locate it on the container.
Are all IBC tare weights the same?
It's important to note that the tare weight of an IBC may vary depending on the manufacturer and the material used to construct the container. Therefore, it's crucial to ensure that you're using the correct tare weight for your specific IBC to ensure accurate measurements and compliance with transportation regulations.
