How the Crumb Rubber Industry Benefits From FIBC Bulk Bags

 


Repurposing end-of-life automotive tyres to extract the rubber for industrial usage is an industry in itself. This extracted rubber, popularly known as crumb rubber or rubber mulch, finds wide application in agriculture, landscaping, flooring, infrastructure, and sports. 

Grounding the tyres results in a low density, porous material that allows easy airflow. Rubber is a naturally combustible material. With increased air permeability and wider surface area as fine particles, it is more prone to spontaneous combustion compared to tyre units. Hence, there is an increased need to handle crumb rubber with extreme caution.

FIBC bulk bags are an appropriate solution to storing and transporting crumb rubber safely and efficiently. The lightweight yet sturdy fabric woven of polypropylene threads is a flexible and versatile packaging option for bulk materials across industries. Here are some of the benefits that the crumb rubber industry draws from using FIBC bulk bags.  

Easy to Adapt

Flexibility is the first name of bulk bags. Indeed, these can be adapted to handle any product in bulk, including combustible material like crumb rubber, without any disruption. Further, the right FIBC for the correct volume of crumb rubber is easy to stack and store in smaller spaces, not to mention even easier transportation at a lower cost.

Customisability

Trusted FIBC Bag manufacturers like Umasree take pride in customising bulk bags for carrying crumb rubber with any specifications you need. Get reinforced handling loops to prevent breakage during transportation, or an overall UV additive for protection from exposure to sunlight, etc., to improve the handling experience of the materials.

Cost Savings

Despite the extent of flexibility that FIBCs offer in handling crumb rubber along with various customisation benefits, these bags are competitively priced and economical to use. Widely popular for their bigger storage capacity, easy handling, and space saving nature, bulk bags can significantly reduce the operating cost of your crumb rubber facility. 

Reusability

FIBCs are available in single as well as multi-use varieties. Check with the bulk bag suppliers about the safety factor ratio (SF) of the bags they are providing you with. Bulk bags labelled with a 5:1 SF ratio indicate a single-use bag, while multi-use bags have an SF ratio of 6:1.

Recyclability

As a recycler of worn-out rubber tyres, you are preventing these items from going to waste. Similarly, the recyclable feature of polypropylene bulk bags makes them an environmentally-friendly option that reduces your operation’s carbon footprint in storage and transit.
