1. Introduction to Ton Bags
Ton bags, also known as bulk bags, are used to transport bulk materials. They are commonly used in the chemical, construction, and mining industries, such as potash fertilizer and grain.
2. Weight Limits
The total weight of bulk cargo loaded in a container cannot exceed the container's rated load. The container's deadweight, deadweight, and deadweight are marked on the container door. Generally speaking, based on the container's load limit and the assumption that each ton bag holds one ton of cargo, each standard 40-foot container can hold 26 ton bags. The weight of the ton bags must be evenly distributed within the container to avoid any overweight that could affect transport safety.
3. Loading Methods
There are two main methods of in-container loading: 1. Directly hoisting the ton bags into the container and stacking them; 2. Placing the ton bags on pallets and stacking them as a unit within the container. Regarding loading principles, adhere to either center loading or side loading. This means placing two ton bags in a row, leaving no gaps between them, and centered along the container's longitudinal centerline. Alternatively, place the left and right ton bags close to the container's inner walls, with proper reinforcement in between. Timber, wooden frames, and airbags are primarily used to reinforce ton bags within the container.
4. Loading Principles
Adhere to center loading or side loading to ensure the cargo is secure. Use timber, wooden frames, or airbags for reinforcement to prevent shifting or movement. Failure to adhere to these loading principles without reinforcement measures can result in transportation risks.
