IBC Metal Pan

While some industrial pallets rely on an all-steel profile, other IBC models favor a composite approach. This specific IBC metal pan is designed to facilitate that hybrid construction, integrating seamlessly with plastic spacers and a plastic drip-pan. This combination is achieved through meticulous design and structural integration to ensure compliance with mandatory UN performance tests. The IBC tank achieves an optimal balance of strength and weight by combining a steel metal pan with plastic components. While the plastic reduce the overall weight, steel provides the rigidity required for stacking and racking.

Description

Material Composition and Durability

The manufacturing journey of the base plate begins with premium pre-galvanized steel coil. Applied at a high standard of 80 g/m², the critical choice of coding provides a robust layer of protection against corrosion.

Technical Specifications and Precision Engineering

Aligning with standardized Intermeidate Bulk Containers globally, the dimensions of the IBC metal pan are sized at 1.2m x 1.0m to ensure compatibility with forklifts and automated conveyor systems. To combat heavy loads often exceeding one metric ton, the metal thickness is calibrated at a standard 1.0mm. This researched and proven thickness offers the necessary tensile strength for robust support.

Included in the design are ten precisely punctured screw holes around the perimeter. These serve as critical anchor points that allow for the secure assembly of the plastic corner protectors, the central traversal support, and the tubular steel cage that surrounds the tank.

Manufacturing Process

The production of the base plate involves a heavy-duty, multi-step process. To form the large article, the metal pan demands a 1000-ton press equipment. Following the unrolling of the pre-galvanized steel, the material undergoes die-cutting, drawing, stamping, and punching. All processes are automated with robotic arms to achieve consistency. The result is a finished product that is immediately ready for the assembly line.
