Mining and Minerals Industry

Mining and Minerals

The Mining and Minerals industry needs a package that can withstand high internal and external forces. Metallic concentrates and heavy ore fines, mineral sands, and abrasive aggregates are classified as high-density material with rough loading environments.

Lakhotia Polyfab, one of the PP FIBC Bags manufacturers in India, specializes in Heavy-Duty Jumbo Bags, and designs the solutions with the highest load-bearing capacity, puncture strengths, and material safety containment when exporting the products worldwide.

CHALLENGE Core Industry Challenges and Our Engineered FIBC Solutions

The mining supply chain requires strict structural integrity of huge tonnage, abrasive materials, and securing the value of the product. Our bags will suit these inhuman demands.

Challenge A: Extreme Weight and Abrasive Density

Some of the densest commodities that are shipped in bulk include mineral concentrates and metal powders that demand high levels of strength to avoid breaking the bag and collapsing.

Solution

Heavy-Duty Jumbo Bags (2-Tonne SWL): We offer heavy-duty jumbo bags that have a certification of up to 2,000 kg Safe Working Load (SWL). These bags are designed using a much greater Grams per Square Meter (GSM) fabric and reinforced U-Panel Jumbo Bags construction or Four-Panel Jumbo Bags construction. This heavy construction will withstand the excessive internal pressure and risk of puncture by sharp and abrasive minerals, which means a lot of payload in a single shipment.

Operational Benefit: Because of their structural integrity, these bags can be stacked safely, in high-level positions in port storage facilities, which makes the most efficient use of freight since all cubic feet of space is used.

Challenge B: Moisture and Environmental Contamination

Finally, mineral fines, especially the ones to be processed, should not be moist to ensure that their chemical properties remain stable and they are not caked or pose dust risks.

Solution

Liner FIBC Bags with Specialized Seals: When it comes to moisture-sensitive materials, we combine sturdier internal Liner FIBC Bags to make a protective layer. Moreover, to avoid the leakage of fine mineral dust (a health and pollution risk), all bags are sewn with sift-proof seams to ensure that the product is contained completely.

Challenge C: Hazardous Dust and Export Compliance

Some metal powders are potentially combustible, and bulk mineral exports must conform to international regulations of shipping.

Solution

UN Certified Bags and Conductive FIBCs: In legal shipping of hazardous material, we provide certified UN Certified Bags that have undergone strict performance tests to ensure that these containers are safe to transport around the world. In the case of powders with a small Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE), we supply Type C Conductive Jumbo Bags to conduct the static electricity safely to minimise the danger of dust explosion in the operational EX Zones at the mine or port.

Key Applications Within Mining Logistics
