How to select your bag for Wood ?
On this same page, you will find all the criteria to search and select your storage bag, either by finding the model you are already using or by selecting those that will correspond to your future use. These options are numerous and will allow you to reduce or widen your selection by positioning several values of the same criterion.
Our search filter is directly interactive, each time you select a criterion, it sorts and presents you very quickly the Bulk Bag and bags suitable.
For more details on a Bulk Bag, simply click on the photo or "details" and you will go directly to the product page where we have added all the useful specifications to your choice.
What you need to know first of all are the weights or volume as well as the usage, the products that will fill into your Bulk Bag. It can easily contain several hundred kilos, we advise you to check your handling and lifting equipment before packing.
Visually, all the drawings in our bulk bag include:
- Dimensions per arrow and mention of Width x Depth x Height
- Logo-pictograms of m3, weight resistance and volume equivalence litres
If the bulk bags are composed of either filling skirts, filling chutes or emptying chutes, a second photo drawing integrates the measurements of these elements.
The different types of Bulk Bags for the Wood Activities
We offer you different types of bags:
- Ventilated on two sides,
- Ventilated with a mosquito canvas,
- Hermetic,
- Waterproof,
- With 4 straps, classic model with total opening and closed flat bottom and several capacities ¼ m3, 0.5 m3, 0.75 m3, 1 m3, 1.25 m3, 1.5 m3 and load capacities from 500 kg, 1000 kg up to 2 Tons,
- For your packaging and handling activities in firewood, the unit of value in wood steres is easily calculable via cubic meters of capacity.
Specifications & Dimensions of empty Bulk Bag
Width and depth
We offer you the widest range of Bulk Bags for the wood sectors. All our bag products are classified by width x depth (example: 90 X 90 cm) to reduce your search time and facilitate your selection.
Height
As PP and Bulk Bag specialists adapted to the world of Wood, we decided to separate the height for dimensional criteria. In our experience, there are many of you for whom height is more important than the basic dimension (width and depth). Thanks to this choice, you have the possibility to search by this option. You thus have a sorting and a direct selection according to the height chosen and all the dimensions in base with their resistances and their capacities.
What is Volume ?
It is used to measure the theoretical capacity of your bag. Normal manufacturing tolerances can increase or decrease the filling volume by a few percent. If you load your bulk bag with a homogeneous material such as wood powder or sawdust, the volume (associated with resistance) is the measure for your use. However for the packaging of products whose shapes and dimensions can be varied (e.g. wood logs, chips) will result in increasing the "empty" volume which limits the filling capacity.
Definition of the safety resistance
The SWL (saftey work load), safety resistance, indicates the limit weight above which it is no longer guaranteed. Beyond that, it is no longer suitable for the weight you need.
A safety factor is taken into account when calculating the maximum resistances but we strongly advise you not to fill your bulk bag above the limit mentioned on each page of our products and on the safety labels present and sewn inside each Bag.
What is the Grammage ?
The thickness of the fabric is expressed in grammage, measured in grams per square metre (gr/m²). A heavy weight indicates a strong thickness of the canvas. The thickness improves the resistance to the filling weight and also allows the bag to be approved as reusable (class SF 6/1). On the other hand, the more traditional thicknesses are SF 5/1 standard, for single use.
With a higher thickness, the resistance to shocks, cutting, shearing, and heavy products will be higher.
The different lifting points and type of straps
The Wood sector represents so many different activities that we offer you all types of PP Bags in sizes, strength number of lifting points as well as in fabric quality (ventilated or airtight and waterproof bulk bag).
Your need is specific ?
We design your own from A to Z, we send you a prototype before manufacturing to validate in real conditions all technical characteristics.
Personalization of your bulk bag
We customize on request your own (with a minimum quantity) by adding on 1, 2 or 4 printed sides, your logo or your identity.
Similarly, we can also customize the content on the security label, sewn inside each bag, with your company name, contact information and website address. You need specific information or safety pictograms, we add them and send you the pre-printing document for validation.
The customization does not stop there, we are able to totally adapt your bulk bag in using color threads for all seams and also transform straps into a specific color or reduce or lengthen the size. With a palette of over 20 standard colours available, we can also customise up to the printing of your own colour code.
Impact on the Environment
Our bags and Bulk Bags are 100% recyclable in suitable network dedicated to PP laminated or non-laminated plastic.
Conditions of use
Storage conditions
Empty they can be stored outdoors even for an extended period of time provided it is protected and the weather (rain, hail, sun) cannot be in direct contact.
However, we advise and prefer storage indoors and away from the sun's rays to avoid alterations due to excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays.
The safety labels sewn inside our bags present and remind the uses and best practices.
Handling conditions
The handling and filling conditions depend entirely on the model.
For example, if your bulk bag is equipped with 4 standard or crossed straps (cross-corner) you can handle them by inserting the carriage forks into its 4 lifting points.
Once loaded, you can also place it on a handling pallet of appropriate dimensions for storage and shipping.
For example, when used frequently, the bulk bag container, filled and placed on a pallet, can be racked directly.
Or the 3 or 5 sdids (runner) stacking system allows you to stack safely.
We can also advise you and study for you the pallets best suited to your needs according to your logistics and storage constraints.
General and Precautions for use
When handling by hand, we strongly advise you to wear suitable safety gloves. Keep out of reach of children. These bags can be used for packaging and product and waste packaging.
In addition, our experts are at your disposal to advise you and offer you the best selection by email or phone.
Quality of our Bulk Bags
Our Bulk Bags are manufactured according to strict quality criteria using controlled and high quality raw materials.
Sampling tests are carried out to ensure sustainable use and use in accordance with specifications. The lifting points and seams are also checked by loading and tensioning.
