Bulk Bags (FIBCs)
Bulk bags made of woven polypropylene are widely used for plastic granules and resins, with liners available when moisture control is critical. New bags offer added protection against contamination for sensitive materials.
Plastics and Resin Production Containers for Storage, Shipping, and Processing
Plastics and resin production facilities handle materials ranging from raw pellets to regrind to finished products, each with distinct storage and contamination concerns. Plastics and resin production containers from Container Exchanger, including bulk bags, gaylords, and hoppers, keep materials moving cleanly and efficiently across the production floor.
Plastics and Resin Production Industry Overview
Challenges and Requirements in Plastics and Resin Production
Plastics and resin manufacturers manage a mix of raw pellets, regrind, and scrap material, each requiring containers that protect against moisture, contamination, and static buildup while supporting fast-moving production lines. Container choice directly affects both product quality and overall handling efficiency across the facility.
Facilities must keep resin and pellets free from moisture and contamination while managing high material turnover, requiring containers built for cleanliness, durability, and repeated handling.
Storage, Handling, and Shipping Needs in Plastics and Resin Production
Materials move from raw resin storage through production feeding and scrap collection, so containers need to support bulk storage, controlled discharge, and efficient transport between stages.
Container Exchanger offers bulk bags, gaylords, and hoppers suited to the different materials and stages found in plastics and resin production. Each option is available new or used, giving manufacturers flexibility to match container type to specific resin, pellet, or scrap handling needs while managing cost.
Container Solutions for Plastics and Resin Production
Gaylords
Gaylords are commonly used to hold raw plastic resin, scrap pieces, and regrind pellets. Multiple wall-layer options offer varying levels of strength, and the boxes break down flat for recycling once emptied.
Hoppers
Hoppers with bottom-discharge or dumping designs handle plastic pellets and powders efficiently, with sizes ranging from less than 1 cubic yard to 3 cubic yards depending on the unit.
Applications and Use Cases
Bulk bags, gaylords, and hoppers each support different stages of plastics and resin production, from raw material storage through scrap handling and line feeding. Matching the right container to each stage helps reduce contamination risk and keep production moving.
Regrind and Scrap Collection
Gaylords are a practical choice for collecting regrind and scrap pellets on the production floor, offering sturdy, stackable storage that can be recycled once the material is processed.
Production Line Feeding
Hoppers support production line feeding by discharging pellets or powders in a controlled, efficient manner, helping keep manufacturing equipment supplied without manual dumping.
Raw Resin Storage and Transport
Bulk bags support raw resin storage and transport, with liner options that help protect moisture-sensitive materials during handling and shipment between suppliers and production facilities.
