2 loop FIBC bag

When bulk materials need to be packed, lifted and transported efficiently, the right FIBC design can make a significant difference. A 2 loop FIBC bag is designed with two integrated lifting loops, providing a practical two-point lifting configuration for bulk material handling.

EPP Vietnam supplies and coordinates customized 2 loop bulk bags for international buyers, helping match the bag construction with the product, handling system and destination-market requirements.

What Is a 2 Loop FIBC Bag?

A 2 loop FIBC bag, also called a double loop big bag, is a flexible intermediate bulk container made primarily from woven polypropylene and equipped with two lifting loops.

The two loops are integrated into the bag construction and are used to lift the filled FIBC with compatible handling equipment. The exact loop construction, bag dimensions, fabric specification and safe working load should be determined according to the intended application.

The most suitable configuration depends on the material being packed and how the bag will be filled, lifted, discharged and transported.

For buyers comparing different FIBC constructions, EPP Vietnam provides a broader range of FIBC bags and configurations for different bulk-handling requirements.

2 Loop FIBC Bag Specifications

For non-dangerous solid materials, ISO 21898:2024 specifies requirements covering FIBC materials, construction, design, type testing and marking, as well as guidance on selection and safe use.

The final specification should therefore be confirmed before production or bulk supply rather than selected from a generic capacity chart.

How to Choose the Right 2 Loop FIBC Bag?

Selecting a Double loop FIBC bag should start with the material and handling process, not simply the bag size.

• Product characteristics: Identify whether the material is powder or granule, its bulk density, moisture sensitivity, dust level and chemical compatibility. These factors can influence the fabric, liner and overall construction.
• Required SWL: Define the Safe Working Load based on the actual product weight and handling conditions. The final SWL should correspond to the approved bag design and applicable testing requirements.
• Lifting equipment: Check whether the bag will be handled by forklift, crane or another lifting system. The two lifting loops must be compatible with the equipment and intended lifting method.
• Filling and discharge: Select the appropriate top and bottom configuration based on your filling line and unloading system, such as open top, filling spout or discharge spout.
• Liner and coating: Consider a PE liner or coated fabric when additional moisture protection, dust containment or product compatibility is required.
• Compliance requirements: For specialized or regulated materials, verify applicable UN, ISO and electrostatic requirements before finalizing the specification.

EPP Vietnam can help review your requirements and coordinate a suitable 2 loop FIBC bag specification with an appropriate production source.

2 Loop FIBC vs 4 Loop FIBC: Which Is Right for You?

The main difference is the number and arrangement of lifting points. The right choice depends on the customer’s handling system and operational requirements.

A 2 loop design can be an efficient solution when the customer’s equipment and workflow are suited to two-point lifting. A 4 loop FIBC may provide a different lifting arrangement where four lifting points are preferred.

Applications of 2 Loop Bulk Bags

Agriculture

In the agricultural sector, 2 loop jumbo bags are widely used for packaging grains, seeds, and fertilizers. Their robust design ensures safe storage and transport, while lined bulk bags help preserve the quality of sensitive products like seeds.

Construction

In construction, these bulk bags are ideal for transporting heavy materials such as sand, gravel, and concrete. Their durability makes them suitable for demanding environments, facilitating efficient logistics on construction sites.

Chemical Industry

The chemical sector also benefits from double loop FIBCs for packaging various chemicals, including powders and granules. The use of bulk bag liners is crucial in this context, preventing leaks and ensuring safe handling of hazardous materials.

Frequently Asked Questions About 2 Loop FIBC Bags

How Are 2 Loop FIBC Bags Lifted?

They are lifted using compatible equipment connected to the two integrated lifting loops. Always follow the specified SWL and approved lifting method.

Can a 2 Loop FIBC Have a PE Liner?

Yes. A PE liner can be added for moisture protection, dust containment or product separation. The liner can be supplied as a suspended liner or tubular liner, depending on the filling and discharge requirements.

What Is the Typical SWL of a 2 Loop FIBC?

The typical SWL is around 500–1,250 kg, depending on the bag dimensions, fabric, loop construction, seams and handling requirements. The final SWL should always be specified according to the application.

Can a 2 Loop FIBC Be Used for UN-Regulated Materials?

Yes, if the complete bag design is UN-approved for the specific material. Having two lifting loops alone does not make an FIBC UN-approved. The required UN classification and testing must match the product and packaging requirements.

2 loop FIBC bag is an invaluable asset for businesses seeking efficient and reliable bulk packaging solutions. Their ease of handling, durability, and versatility make them suitable for various applications across multiple industries. Additionally, incorporating bulk bag liners can enhance the protection of sensitive materials, ensuring they remain in optimal condition during transport.
