Stainless-steel IBC totes deliver a smooth, non-porous product-contact surface for high-value and sensitive ingredients. Built in 304 or 316 stainless, they tolerate repeat cleaning and sanitation across long reusable service lives.
304 and 316 stainless IBC totes for ingredients that demand purity, hygiene, and repeat sanitation. Non-reactive interiors and sanitary fittings suit closed-loop programs where the same tote returns, cleans, and refills for years.
New HDPE inner receptacle molded from FDA-compliant, food-grade resin.
Valve and cap options selected for clean discharge and simple sanitation.
Sealed fill caps and discharge covers help protect product integrity in transit.
Both capacities share a standard pallet footprint for consistent handling.

Specify a new or newly rebottled HDPE bottle; reconditioned bottles are not assumed food grade.
Confirm FDA-compliant, food-grade resin and request documentation for your ingredient.
Match the valve and cap to your fill line and cleaning procedure before ordering.
Choose 275 for dense product or height limits, 330 to maximize volume per pallet.
An IBC tote, or intermediate bulk container, is a palletized industrial container used to store, transport, and dispense bulk liquids, pastes, powders, or granular materials. The common composite version is an HDPE bottle inside a galvanized steel cage on an integrated pallet base.
No. A tote should only be used for food or beverage products when its materials, manufacturing history, and condition are appropriate for that application. Reconditioned or previously used totes should not be assumed to be food grade.
A new IBC tote uses a new bottle, cage, and pallet. A rebottled IBC generally combines a new inner bottle with a reused and inspected cage. A reconditioned IBC generally uses a previously used bottle and cage that have been cleaned and inspected.
The most common rigid composite IBC tote capacities are 275 gallons and 330 gallons. Both generally use a comparable pallet footprint, so the practical difference is overall height, filled weight, and volume per pallet position.
Common options include ball valves, butterfly valves, camlock connections, and threaded outlets. The correct valve depends on product viscosity, flow requirements, chemical compatibility, and facility connections.
