2. Liners Extend Container Lifecycle

3. Liner Benefits for Petroleum Market
 Provides product protection = product purity
 Offers source and waste reduction
 Reduces time and expense of cleaning and/or replacing containers
 Promotes reuse of your container, keeping containers out of the waste
system
 Recyclable
 Ships flat, nested or vented for economical storage and shipping
 Reduces use of fuel and greenhouse gas emissions

4. Drum & Pail Liner
Technical Considerations

5. Types of Drum & Pail Liners
 Thermoformed
 Blow Molded
 Heat Sealed or Blown Film
 Anti-Static
 NFPA-99
 Mil-Spec
 Conductive

6. Thermoformed Liners
 No seams
 Uniformity of wall thickness
 Flexibility vs. Strength vs. Price
 Straight side or Accordion
 Vented

7. Blow Molded Liners
 No seams
 Very rugged
 Heavier walls and bottom
 Thinner lip
 Used with mixer, follower plate
 Agitator

8. Heat Sealed Liners
 Inexpensive
 Least rugged
 Very thin
 Seams
 Barrier

9.  Reduces cleaning costs
 First time use every time
 Primary containment in most applications
 Should be multi-ply construction

Technical Considerations

10. IBC Liner
Technical Considerations
 Type of Intermediate Bulk Container
 Re-usable
 One Way
 Corrugated
 Type of Dispensing
 Lower dispensing valve
 Dip tube
 Viscosity of Product
 Inflation assisted dispensing

11. Types of IBC Liners
Form-Fit Liner Pillow Liner

12. Form-Fit Liner
 Easy to fill, using either top or bottom filling applications
 Designed to accommodate high-speed fills; the auto unfold feature
minimizes bag handling during fill
 Squared bottom eliminates the need
for a cassette in many cases
 No pockets or folds trapping residual
product while emptying

13. Pillow Liner
 Reduces foaming in bottom-filling applications
 Provides versatility; the same size liner fits many container sizes
 Provides excellent value for a
wide range of liquid
applications: bottom-fill
applications, automated
aseptic fillers
 More apt to trap product when
dispensing

14. IBC Fitments

16. Innovations
 Bag-In-Box
 Bottle-In-Cage Liner
 Insert-in-a-Box

17. Bag-In-Box
 Concerns for Environment
 Cost Control
 Waste Reduction
 Cutting-Edge Packaging
 Marketing

18. Bag-In-Box
 Filling
 Form-fit fills more easily than a pillow as the fitment is always in the
proper position
 Flex Cracking
 Form-fit reduces flex cracking due to lack of folds in the bag and the
perfect fit in the box
 Evacuation
 Form-fit allows for full dispensing because product does not get
trapped in the folds

19.  Sizes & Dimensions
 Up to 25 liter
 Cube vs. Rectangular

 End use
 Use of connectors
 Type of dispense

21.  Importance of sizing bag and box
 Water resistance
 Box strength
 UN testing

Box Considerations

22.  Manual fill
 Semi automatic equipment
 Fully automatic equipment
 Adapting existing equipment

23. Bottle-In-Cage Liners
 New system on the market provides a pre-installed removable
liner in a bottle-in-cage
 Form-fit liner made from engineered
nylon/PE co-extrusion
 Specify barrier films, anti-static, FDA,
UV to meet requirements

24. How Bottle-In-Cage Liners Work
1. Liner is inserted
2. Fill and dispense snouts are
positioned and fixed in place
3. Vacuum pulled (see blue arrows)
4. Vacuum snout sealed holding liner to
container wall until seal is broken
5. Vacuum process eliminates air
pockets, ensuring complete fill

25. Insert-in-a-Box
 Removable cube-shaped semi-rigid insert
 Snap on or sealed lid
 Fits into a corrugated box with or without a lid
 Modular System
 Insert
 Corrugated box
 Filling equipment & packaging

26. Insert-in-a-Box
 Used for highly viscous products:
 Adhesives
 Thick paints & inks
 Compounds
 Sustainability Advantage

27. Summary
 Sustainability
 Innovation
 Future of Packaging

Drum & Pail
Thing to consider when deciding what type of liner is most appropriate:
1. How much rigidity do you need from the liner?
Are you going to be using a follower plate?
Are you going to be using a mixer inside the drum?
2. Are you going to be filling with the lid on the drum?
