Great Western Containers’ Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC Tanks) are effective industrial packaging solutions. Distributed throughout Canada, they are available with UN ratings for dangerous goods and non-UN for non-regulated products. IBC Tanks are also used for many non-dangerous products such as liquids, powders, grains, and even pet foods.
As part of Great Western Containers continuous one-stop shop, we work with our customers to select the proper container for your marketplace. We make it our business to properly assess your process needs and direct you to the right solutions for your business.
A complete range of valves, stands, and accessories are also offered.
Asset Style IBC Tanks – These IBCs are designed for long-term use and are available in carbon steel, stainless steel or as a heavy rotationally molded plastic bottle inside either a plastic cage or a channel steel cage. Capacities range from 900 litres to 1,350 litres.
Light Weight Composite IBC Tanks – These models are a lighter weight, blow molded bottle inside a tubular steel or wire cage. For shorter term use these IBC Tanks are a less expensive alternative to an asset style.
Cleaning – Great Western Containers offers an advanced processing/cleaning system for all styles of IBCs. Our automated system ensures product integrity for long-term use.
Inspection and Testing – UN-rated IBCs must be inspected and tested every two and a half years to retain status as a UN-rated container. Our Edmonton (South) plant is an approved reinspection and test facility.
Reconditioning – Reconditioning of IBCs is required when container usage changes or when the integrity of the container must be confirmed.
