Buckhorn Expands Intermediate Bulk Container Offering With Recycleable Caliber™ Series
For Immediate Release: August 2008 — Buckhorn, a North American leader in reusable plastic packaging and material handling systems, proudly introduces its brand new Caliber™ Series of intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). Available in three sizes from 270 gallons to 315 gallons, the collapsible intermediate bulk containers in the Caliber Series, which complement Buckhorn’s existing Citadel™ family of IBCs, are the best suited IBCs in the industry for shipping and storing large volumes of processed foods, ingredients and other fluids.
Caliber IBCs are molded of FDA-approved, food grade plastic and have completely smooth surfaces to satisfy the strictest hygienic standards. They are collapsible, stackable when full or collapsed, and their space-efficient dimensions provide optimal cubing of transport systems, from rail cars to truck trailers. Caliber IBCs, which utilize a disposable bag liner, feature side and bottom discharge areas for quick, easy emptying. Bulk fluids are kept safe because they are put into a liner of virgin material every time. Because they are reusable, Caliber IBCs offer the perfect “green” alternative to barrels, cardboard or wood containers, providing companies a substantial savings on disposal costs and the waste of one-way packaging.
Reinforced corners and locking sides provide durability for handling under any conditions. Four-way fork entry permits secure transport from any orientation, and their heavy-duty construction assures reliable performance in even extreme weather conditions 0° to 140°F (-17.8° to 60°C). Tamper evident seals can be placed on the lid and on discharge openings for added security. Calibers also come with an embedded RFID tag for tracking.
In adding the Caliber Series line to their existing Citadel IBC family, Buckhorn has assured its customers a variety of container choices for any application. Though designed for fluid and food ingredients, both Citadel and Caliber Series products can also be used for dry products such as powders, granulate and flakes. They are ideal for use in food processing, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and any other industry in which hygiene is a primary concern.
