To overcome bulk packaging issues jumbo bag/bulk bags/FIBC is most important, but to we should know right jumbo bags for your packaging content with Safe Working Load and SF (Safety Factor). Normally SF-Safe Factor of bag is 5:1 or 6:1. Safety Factor as 5:1 describes single use bag and 6:1 describes multiple use of bag for packaging.

Brain Chamber Polysacks is leading Manufacturers and Exporters of Jumbo Bag with safe working load 5:1 and 6:1 as per need of our valuable clients.

Safe Working Load and Safe Factor 5:1 means filled bag when get subjected to hydraulic pressure then it should sustain minimum 5 times the SWL after its 30 cycles of twice the SWL. Here if the bulk bag breaks before 5 times SWL pressure then following bag is not suitable to use for required duty conditions. It is known as peak load test of bag. For ex. If SWL of bag is 1000 kgs with SF 5:1 and bag when subjected to peak load test get passed only when it breaks after 5000 kgs.

Safe Working Load and Safe Factor 5:1 means filled bag when get subjected to hydraulic pressure then it should sustain minimum 6 times of SWL after 70 cycles of thrice SWL. Here if bag get breaks before 6 times SWL pressure then it is not suitable to use for required duty conditions. For ex. If SWL of bag is 1000 kgs with 6:1 SF and bag subjected to peak load test consider to pass when it breaks after 6000 kgs.

SWL and SF standard set by EFIBCA to get maximum safety in handling bulk bags.

Jumbo Bags comes in two SWL factors 5:1 and 6:1. Here 5:1 indicates single use of bag which goes from taking bag for filling the product to discharge. Here FIBC is handle as follows.

  • 1. Bag taken for filling required materials
  • 2. After finishing filling move to warehouse
  • 3. From warehouse it moved to truck for transportation
  • 4. At client location bag is move from truck warehouse
  • 5. From warehouse it get move to discharge product.
  • 6. Finally material get discharge.

Here we goes for 5:1 single use bag process. 6:1 SWL bag goes from same process again so it is known as multiple use bag. So it should depend on client need to use 5:1 or 6:1 SWL bag for packaging of products.
