Collapsible Intermediate Bulk Container

The Caliber 315, for non-hazardous products, is the first collapsible intermediate bulk container worthy of inclusion in our line of IBCs.

caliber logo containerThe Caliber intermediate bulk container features:

True 4-Way Entry: The forklift-compatible base provides efficient, secure handling from all sides.

Anti-Slip Feet: An integrated rubber pad on each corner prevents movement during transport.

Reinforced Sidewalls: Added strength is provided by embedded steel rods in the sidewalls and corners.

Lid Locking System: Eight tamper-evident locations ensure secure lids on each Caliber intermediate bulk container.

Injection-molded of food grade polypropylene, these reusable IBCs have completely smooth surfaces to satisfy the most stringent hygienic standards. Their low tare weight helps decrease transport costs, making these containers cost-effective throughout the entire handling process.

Other advantages include:

  • Durable construction with temperature tolerances from 0° to 140°F (-17.8° to 60°C)
  • The ability to withstand the toughest demands, including filling under pressure, long-term outdoor storage, rail transport and hot-fill applications
  • Availability in top and bottom discharge versions
  • Compatibility with form-fit and pillow-style liners, including sterile or non-sterile styles

The Caliber’s efficiency is second to none. One Caliber 315 holds the equivalent liquid content of nearly six 55-gallon drums in the same footprint taken up by four drums. Plus, each Caliber lid interlocks directly on top of its collapsed intermediate bulk container, creating a sturdy, self-supporting column for storage and distribution.
