What do companies in this industry pack?

Mineral raw materials - typical applications
MaterialPackaging typeNotes
Lime (ground, granulated)Four-loop + PE linerThe liner protects against moisture; hygroscopic and corrosive material
Gypsum and anhydrite (ground)Four-loop + PE linerLiner mandatory — plaster absorbs moisture and hardens
Mineral aggregates (chippings, crushed stone)Four-catch, flat bottomHigh dead weight; SWL 1,000–2,000 kg
Coal and coke (large, smalls)Four-hookPP fabric abrasion resistance; without liner as standard
Quartz and silica sandFour-point or single-pointPure material; SWL selected according to bulk density
Rocks and mining wasteFour-clamping, reinforcedLarge dimensions; high load capacity and mechanical resistance
Rock saltFour-loop + PE linerCorrosive material; liner protects the PP fabric
Phosphorites and fertilizer raw materialsFour-loop + PE linerOften damp; liner selected according to requirements

Big Bags for mining

In the mining and quarrying industry, the most important factors are load capacity, mechanical resistance of the fabric, and tightness with dusty or hygroscopic materials. Most mineral raw materials require a four-loop bag - which is more stable when loading with a crane and during storage.
Bag typeFor which materialsKey feature
Four-loop + PE linerLime, gypsum, salt, phosphoritesThe liner protects the material from moisture; 4 loops = stability on the crane
Four-loop builder bag without linerlessAggregates, coal, waste rockLiner selected to meet material requirements; SWL up to 2,000 kg
Four-loop with discharge spoutMaterials for dispensing or pouringThe central chute facilitates unloading without tipping
Single-pointQuartz sand, lighter fractionsSimpler to operate; lower cost at smaller SWLs

Logistics data:

Minimum order of single-loop bags: 500 pcs (1 pallet)

Response time: 24h / 1 working day

Transport: road only (trucks); 5,000–10,000 pcs / truck for 1,000 kg bags

Are Big Bag sacks suitable for transporting quicklime or hydrated lime?

Yes. Big Pak manufactures four-loop bags with a PE liner tailored to the requirements of the lime - both quicklime and hydrated lime. The PE liner protects the material from moisture during transport and storage. The bag configuration (liner thickness, closure type) is determined with the customer.

Can the bags be stored outdoors under varying weather conditions?

The PP fabric used by Big Pak is resistant to standard UV exposure during short-term outdoor storage. For moisture-sensitive materials (such as lime or gypsum), we always recommend a PE liner. For long-term outdoor storage, additional protection with wrapping film is advised. Details can be found in the technical specification - available on request.
