Ventilated FIBC Bags

India is blessed with a topography that allows us to grow a wide variety of food that is relished by the entire world but at the same time, it makes us responsible to store that food with utmost care and hygiene before it is consumed.

Approx 5% of the world's harvest of fresh produce like fruits and vegetables get damaged before they can even reach the end-consumer, to put an end to this Ventilated FIBC Bags were brought to the knowledge of farmers and cold storage owners.

Ventilated FIBC Bag is a specially designed FIBC Bag with air vents along the woven fabric on its body. This is a kind of mesh fabric that allows easy air flow to the contents inside and prevents moisture build-up. They are made from a special polypropylene fabric specifically designed for the storage and transportation of materials that require air circulation. They have a capacity ranging from 500 to 1500 kg, and allow up to 45% of ventilation and have a safety factor of 5:1 and 6:1, as per ISO 21898 norms.

The biggest difference between vented bags and standard bags is the thin vent strips along all four sides of the vented FIBC. Instead of the standard polypropylene weave (woven polypropylene), these vent strips have single strands of fabric running horizontally that allow air to flow freely into the bag, thus giving these bags their vented property. Vents are also made 'with interlock' to remain vent size perfect.

Advantages of using Ventilated FIBCs for perishable food products

• Prevents Spoilage Due to Moisture
  Atmospheric and unintentionally spilled moisture can spoil agricultural produce if unchecked for a longer duration. Ventilated bulk bags prevent the buildup of moisture, and allow the evaporation of any existing moisture, leaving the products dry and safe for a long time.
• Discoloration
  Many times, it is seen that the product changes its color as the environment is not favorable to them. Unappealing vegetables/fruits are not welcomed by anyone and this is highly dependent on the storage conditions. When they are stored in Ventilated Bags, there are very fewer chances of discoloration. Ventilated Bags are great in preventing direct sunburn.
• Various Sizes for Different Products
  Ventilated bulk bags are made available in various sizes as per the client's requirements. Larger bags for bulky products, medium and small sizes for high-density products – We have a solution to all of your requirements.
• Resistant to UV
  Like all our FIBC polypropylene-based offerings, our ventilated bulk bags are also highly resistant to UV rays. This means that even when the bags stored are exposed to sunlight for extended periods; they will retain their strength more efficiently than a bag that is not UV resistant.
• Ventilated Bags Avoid the Fungal Infections
  Fungal infections and bacterial disease cause loss of perishable produce. The likelihood of fungus infections is greatly reduced when stock is kept in various ratios in ventilated bags.
• Economical, Reusable, Recyclable
  Our ventilated bags like all other FIBCs are economical and can be reused up to many times and lastly can be recycled after serving their purpose.
