Jumbo bags handling tips:

a.Filling

  • Do not twist lifting loops, keep them vertical.
  • Fill under slight tension by keeping the base suspended 6 cms above the base support plate.
  • It is essential to use a base plate when filling with outlet spouts and or liners.
  • The bottom spout must be secure before the filling operations begin.
  • It is essential to inflate polythene liners before filling the material Liners should project about 15 cms above the bag for ease of tying or cuffing.
  • Before closing the top end ( spout) ensure to allow time for material to settle down for proper stability of bag.
  • Swan neck fashion is ideal for tying spout and the liner

b.Handling

  • To ensures a square shape of the jumbo bag which is good for stacking if possible, drop the loops sideways rather then letting them remain at top.
  • Forklift tines should be smooth, rough or sharp edges of tines can damage the lifting webbing.
  • Use a polythene liner as a moisture barrier for hygroscopic material.

c.Vibration

  • Establishing an optimum vibration cycle for each product.
  • Do not vibrate excessively as it is unproductive.

d.Storage

  • Can be stored 2 – 3 high for single stacking.
  • For multiple stacking, pyramid method should be used, the bags can be stacked up to 7 high.

e.Vehicle Storage

  • Lift the bag vertically from the quay and then vertically into the hold so that the bag strikes the sides of the vessel.
  • This also avoids the hazard arising out of slack crane wire. Similar precautions should be taken in unloading operations.
  • Avoid deck ships if possible. The bag should stand upright in the hold.
