Intermediate Bulk Containers

With our fleet of more than 52,000 Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), HOYER offers the chemicals, foodstuffs and cosmetics industries an ideal alternative to drums and tank containers to transport their liquid products. These small containers are available in various stainless steel grades, designs and sizes, some with agitators and hazardous goods approval. We use IBCs both for transport and storage, and we do so worldwide.

We strive for even greater sustainability through our specialisation on these robust stainless steel containers. Intermediate bulk containers are also reusable, and are cleaned in compliance with the highest sustainability standards. The burden on the environment is also relieved through the smaller residual amounts arising during disposal. Last but not least, our careful logistics planning through efficient transport routes makes an important contribution to environmental conservation.

LITTLE ALLROUNDERS

Our IBC fleet consists of standardised IBC types as well as a large number of individual small containers with the necessary accessories. IBCs can contain a volume between 500 litres and 1,100 litres: they are an ideal alternative to drums and tank containers to transport and store liquid products in the chemicals, foodstuffs and cosmetics industries. There is a particular demand among our customers for heatable IBCs for the food industry, cylindrical containers for the paint and coatings industry, and pressure vessels – so-called Mini Pressure Tanks (MPTs) for special chemicals.
