Benefits of technology

[0013] An object of the present invention is to provide substantially rectangular prism formation of the FIBCs so that the volume occupied thereof is minimized in the container. This is achieved by utilizing diagonally situated baffles which provide sufficient structural

Problems solved by technology

This is the optimization problem leading the practitioners to minimize the space or volume occupied by the FIBCs in the container.
However, these idle spaces occupy some considerable amount of volume, which is not filled by the material to be intended to transfer, in the container.
It is acknowledged that the above-referenced solution put forwards sound advantages with respect to the deficiencies in the relevant technical field, however, another problems arise due to the physical nature of this solution such as interference of the baffle material to the bulk material carried due to spots of the holes.
For instance, since the baffle is not a continuous

Embodiment Construction

[0032] In FIG. 1, net-based baffles and the location thereof in the FIBC are illustrated. Conventionally, a FIBC, flexible intermediate bulk container (1) is a means for transferring materials and having a rectangular prism geometry carried by holders (2). The baffles (3) are sewed to the connection edges (9) of the FIBC (1) diagonally so as to obtain a relatively rounded geometry in the essential volume (11) of the FIBC, i.e. independent of sharp geometry due to edges. The lateral surfaces (7) are attached to each other by connection edges (9) so that the FIBC (1) is formed.

[0033] Net-based baffles (3) comprise preferably two vertically extending strips (8) and horizontally extending elements provided between the vertically extending strips, and net filaments (4). One of the vertically extending strips (8) is sewed to the lateral surface (7) and the inner one is embodied for connecting the net filaments (4) thereto. As an alternative structure, the vertically extending strips (8) ...

Abstract

A flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) for transferring various type of materials, including industry-based granule materials, fine materials like sugar, flour, comprising baffles sewed to edge region of the FIBCs for preventing bulging formation on lateral surfaces thereof so defining an essential volume and subsidiary volume in the FIBC and said baffles having holes for promoting material transfer between the essential volume and subsidiary volume the development comprising said baffle (3) formed as a net structure having plurality of filaments (4), plurality of net passages (10) between these filaments (4) and connection elements (8) the filaments (4) are attached thereon.

Description

RELATED U.S. APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 10 / 134,664, filed Apr. 29, 2002.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not applicable. REFERENCE TO MICROFICHE APPENDIX [0003] Not applicable. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0004] This invention relates to flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC) utilized for material transfer, particularly relates to net-based baffles for minimizing the space occupied by the FIBCs in the container while transferring thereof. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0005] Flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC) are extensively used for various bulk materials including industry-based granule, powder materials, food grade materials like sugar, flour, etc and even for quasi-fluid materials. Once the FIBCs are packed, they are accommodated into containers, trucks etc. for transferring thereof to another location. [0006] Perhaps, one the most important aspects that is regarded as far ...
