Powder Bag

Powder Bags: Specialized Sift-Proof FIBCs for Ultrafine Powders and Pigments

The Powder Bag is a very specialized type of FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) that is specifically designed by Lakhotia Polyfab to address the special requirements of ultrafine powders, pigments, carbon black, cement, and other low-density, high-value materials. Usually, Standard Jumbo Bags have problems with the leakage of their products through the tiny holes that the sewing needle makes during the manufacturing process. Our Powder Bags overcome this expensive and dangerous situation with high-tech sift-proof technology, which guarantees total product control and no wastage during the supply chain.

Engineering Absolute Containment: The Sift-Proof Mandate

The characteristic of the Powder Bag, which, however, is not characterised by structure, but by proprietary sealing systems built into each seam, ensuring a degree of containment that can guarantee the hermetic containment of the material as fine as talcum powder.

Filler Cord Technology

This is our sift-proof guarantee. Thick, stiff filler cord is carefully stitched into the crest of each important seam (including the points where the bottom, top, and lifting loops are attached). The use of cord is to physically stretch and fill the microscopic needle holes brought about by the stitching process. This is a simple but very useful method so that in spite of the shaking and pressing during the transportation process, the fine material will not end up, and the bag will be leak-proof indeed.

Gasket and Felt Sealing

To provide extra protection to the most delicate and precious powders, including specialty pigments or active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), we use another layer of protection. Before the stitching, thin felt gaskets or sponge-like material are put in place deliberately underneath the seam. Once the needle and the thread squeeze this gasket, a strong, pressure-tight seal is formed, which completely prevents the migration of ultrafine particles and ensures that the product and the environment are not exposed to dust.

High-Density Weaving

Our Powder Bags have a higher-density woven polypropylene (PP) fabric with a tight mesh structure to supplement the sealed seams. This helps avoid transmission of materials through the fabric itself, which is a precautionary measure of materials that can otherwise be driven through the material, such as carbon black, which can be migrated by normal weaves.

Operational Necessity and Cost Recovery

The use of a dedicated Powder Bag is a fast-paying investment that solves typical problems related to the operations and finances when dealing with fine materials.

Zero Product Wastage

High-value materials include pigments, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals. Any loss as a result of sifting is a direct blow to profitability. Lakhotia Polyfab guarantees that all of your products will be in your hands because it is a leak-proof container, meaning that the optimization of product yield is maximized when you get it discharged.

Structural Integration for Stability

Our sift-proofing technology is applied seamlessly to the most stable structural designs, including the U-Panel Jumbo Bags or Four-Panel Jumbo Bags, so that as the bag is filled with the finest powder, it retains the structural integrity needed to safely stack and transport the bag on the highest levels.

Dust-Free Environment and Safety

Sifting powders produces unsafe dust clouds, and this can contaminate neighboring products and may present respiratory or fire hazards (at least when the material has a low Minimum Ignition Energy). The closed seams of our Powder Bags make the emptying process cleaner, safer, and dust-free, reducing the exposure of the personnel directly to the powder and enhancing the overall factory sanitation, which is usually a standard of Food-Grade requirements.

Targeted Applications for Ultrafine Materials

The accuracy of the Powder Bag design is such that it is essential in many important industries:

Chemicals and Pigments

Carbon black, fine titanium dioxide, colored dyes, and other high-value powders are all used, imposing a total ban on contamination and sifting.

Construction

Necessary to fine cement, specialty additives, silica fume, and other construction powders, which should not be allowed to be moistened or allowed to escape to the site.

Food & Pharmaceuticals

Must use where bulk flour, starches, sugar, and active ingredients are to be used, where the absolute sift-proof capability is obligatory to ensure product purity and Food-Grade FIBC Bag compliance.
