This specification is manufactured and delivered in accordance with the current status of the SCHÜTZ “Quality Management Standard for Supplies of Packaging Materials”, which you can view at the following link: www.schuetz.net/qmstandard

The maximum filling temperature depends on the respective filling product (specific heat capacity), but must not exceed 70º C (158º F) for HDPE packaging and 60º C (140º F) for LDPE packaging with an integrated inliner. Deformation such as sink and marks or wrinkling around edges and corners can be caused by temperature and pressure differences during filling, transport, storage or depending on the vapour pressure of the filling product. To exclude these kinds of deformations, we recommend the use of an aeration and deaeration system suitable for the specific application.

The SCHÜTZ Technical Customer Service will be happy to recommend a suitable system for your application.

IBCs are designed and constructed for the transport, storage and handling of filling products in accordance with the relevant dangerous goods regulations. During the use of the containers, especially in the case of multiple refilling cycles, the attachment parts such as outlet valves and screw caps as well as the associated gaskets are subject to varying degrees of wear, depending on the filling product, the type of application and the duration of use. The risk of wear increases with the frequency of use. In particular, washing procedures or improper handling during reconditioning can damage the IBC or its attachment parts. After the initial opening of the outlet valve, the container should be emptied as soon as possible and with as few intervals as possible and should be securely closed after each emptying operation.Where IBCs are used in multiple refill cycles, it is the responsibility of the distributor and/or filler to carry out the necessary quality checks in accordance with applicable regulations and to ensure that the packaging is in a proper condition. Damaged components must be professionally repaired or replaced with original Schütz components or other approved components.
