Jumbo Bag Packaging for Bitumen Export

Jumbo bags, also known as large sack bags or bitobags, are a popular and efficient method for packaging bitumen for export. These bags consist of two layers: an outer layer made of sacking and an inner layer of nylon, resistant to high temperatures up to 120°C.

Features and Advantages of Jumbo Bags:

• Clean Handling: Ensures cleaner working conditions at both the origin and destination.
• Efficient Transportation: Facilitates faster loading, transport, and unloading processes.
• Energy Efficiency: Reduces energy consumption during unloading, as bitumen in jumbo bags naturally melts.
• Cost-Effective: Offers lower packaging costs by replacing iron with polypropylene materials.
• Preserves Quality: Maintains lower temperatures during transport, ensuring higher-quality bitumen.
• Higher Profitability: Allows for increased cargo volume, boosting profitability.

Sizes Available:

• 1-ton jumbo bags
• 500 kg bags
• 300 kg bags

Design and Durability:

Jumbo bags are available in trapezoidal or conical shapes. For instance, a trapezoidal bag measuring 110 cm x 110 cm x 1 meter can hold up to 1 ton of bitumen. These bags are engineered to retain their shape even at high temperatures and withstand heavy loads, making them ideal for bulk transport.

Price Determinants:

The cost of jumbo bags depends on:

• Load-bearing capacity
• Fabric type and density
• Dimensions

Prices are also influenced by fluctuations in the polypropylene market, the primary material used in manufacturing these bags.

Sustainability:

Jumbo bags are reusable, making them an environmentally friendly and cost-effective packaging solution for bitumen export.
