I. Defining 5:1 SF
Testing Requirement
A Single-Trip bag is produced and is tested to allow the performance test 5 times maximum Safe Working Load (SWL). As an illustration, a bag with a SWL of 1,000 kg should be able to accommodate 5,000 kg of load when it is in a state of destruction before breaking down.
Intended Use
This certification is very strict in keeping the bag in a single-use cycle. After the bag has been emptied by the end-user, it should be recycled or discarded in a way that does not put into question the safety standards of the end-user by using a worn-out container.
Safety Priority
We have applied the same rigid quality control on both raw materials and seam integrity used in making our higher-grade bags in producing the Single-Trip bag, but we have not compromised on safety, in that one potentially life-and-death trip.
II. Manufacturing for Cost Efficiency
The Single-Trip bag is optimized in terms of the material consumption to attain cost-effectiveness that would be reasonable in commodity markets:
Fabric GSM
It normally uses a lower Grams per Square Meter (GSM) of woven polypropylene cloth than Multi-Trip FIBC Bags, which saves the cost of raw material.
Webbing
Lifting loops and webbing are made to fit exactly the certified SWL and 5:1 SF, which is not a waste of material and money.
