How to choose wet wipe buckets

Wet wipe buckets are very common products in life. Especially in some American and Middle-East countries such as the US, Canada, and so on, they are very common.

buckets
buckets

How much we know about the wet wipe buckets? Below are some pieces of knowledge about it.

  1. What is the difference between a food-grade wet wipe bucket and a non-food-grade wet wipe bucket?

Answer: The difference between food grade and non-food grade is the types of dyes used for coloring and the type of chemicals used to release the buckets from the molds. Most food-grade buckets are white. The same type of plastic is used in the manufacture of both.

2. What wet wipe buckets are food grade?

Answer: The best food-grade buckets are PE or PP material. The molecules of PE or PP are more tightly packed and stable than other food-grade plastics, meaning less plastic can leach into your precious food stores. The PE wet wipe buckets are more resistant to low temperatures, the PP wet wipe buckets are more resistant to high temperatures, so you can choose the wet wipe buckets in suitable material according to your needs.

3. How can I tell if a wet wipe bucket is food grade?
Answer: Most plastic containers, usually on the bottom, will have a small triangle mark. This number doesn’t mean that it’s food grade as many people suppose. But rather it tells what kind of plastic the bucket is made of.

4. What types of wet wipe buckets do you have?

Answer: Different kinds of wet wipe buckets are for your reference such as plastic round wet wipe buckets or plastic square wet wipe buckets. And different sizes are for your options from 1L-18L. Show you the available sizes for our wet wipe buckets:

plastic plugs

What size of plug is in a 55 gallon drum?

Standard drums can have different 55 gallon drum plug types. Usually, drums will have two different openings. (or bungs)  One of them is always going to be a fine thread which in North America is 2″ NPS. (National Pipe Straight) In addition, the drum will always have a second bung which will either be large or small. If this secondary bung is large it is most likely a 63 mm buttress. technical details here. However it is often mistakenly called a 2-inch Buttress, but this is an inaccuracy.  In any case, both of these threads are straight (not tapered like the NPT) and therefore they use an o-ring to provide a liquid-tight seal. If the second bung is small in diameter, it is almost certainly a 3/4 inch NPS thread in North America.

Buttress threads come in many different sizes around the world, and each container manufacturer seems to favor its own particular thread pitch and depth. Narrowing this to the chemical drum industry in North America, the 63 mm size is the most common. Occasionally this is also called a 2″ Buttress but this is an imprecise description. A nice feature of the Buttress plug is that it threads in place after only 3 turns or so.  Also, the Buttress threads are much coarser than NPS and will never get stripped. Finally, because the threads are so coarse, it is easier to start the thread engagement than with a fine thread like the 2-inch NPS.

ibc tank adapter

Precautions for IBC adapters

The IBC tank is composed of an inner container and a metal frame. The inner container is blow-molded with high-molecular-weight high-density polyethylene, which has high strength, corrosion resistance and good hygiene. Plus the external metal frame is more secure and reliable. The product structure is reasonable, firm, and strong, can be directly loaded and unloaded by forklift, and can be stacked and stored. The upper filling port is equipped with a blind cover or a breathing valve threaded cover, and the lower discharge port is equipped with a ball valve, which can discharge materials safely, quickly, and cleanly. Generally, the IBC tank can be used for multiple turnovers, saving energy and being conducive to environmental protection.

1. The role of IBC tank

IBC tanks can contain Class II and III dangerous goods. The maximum liquid density for Class II dangerous goods is 1.5g/cm3, and the liquid density for Class III dangerous goods is 1.8g/cm3.

2. IBC tank filling and storage

1) When using a IBC tank, first open the filling port cover, and then fill in the liquid from the filling port at the top. Tighten all seals before handling.

2) The maximum filling volume of this container is 1000 liters.

3)Pay attention to awning storage and avoid exposure to the sun when using. The maximum operating temperature (packaging, storage, transportation, unloading, and cleaning, etc.) is 70°C. The minimum storage temperature is -40°C.

3. Automatic cleaning of IBC tanks

Since the IBC tank is not a one-time-use product, in order to save resources and protect the environment, the general IBC tank needs to be used multiple times. Since the liquid is prone to deposition, it is necessary to use the ton barrel to hold another liquid. The inner and outer walls are cleaned, and the clean container can guarantee product quality. In the past, manual cleaning was mostly used. The operation of manual cleaning is simple, but the cleaning efficiency is slow and labor-intensive. If the ton barrels contain dangerous chemicals, manual cleaning has certain safety hazards.

With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the degree of automation of various equipment is gradually improving, and the field of industrial cleaning is no exception. The improvement of industrial cleaning mechanization and automation greatly simplifies the cleaning process. According to the characteristics and cleaning requirements of IBC ton barrels, Degaojie has developed a pass-through ton barrel automatic cleaning line, which reduces labor intensity and improves cleaning quality. One square barrel can be cleaned every 4 to 8 minutes (depending on the degree of dirt).

4.IBC adapters

When it comes to IBC, we have to mention the joint. IBC joints are widely used in IBC valves and other pipe fittings to change the diameter and connect pipes of different diameters.

When using connectors, the following should be noted:

1) Select the corresponding size of the joint, some joints are threaded, some are quick connected, some are external thread, and some are internal thread

2) Choose sturdy and durable materials that are resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, such as PP or PE pure raw materials, to prolong the service life.

3) Sometimes it is necessary to combine multiple joints to achieve the effect of switching. At this time, it is necessary to select the appropriate size and combine multiple sizes.

Is PP or PE material safe?

We live in a very plastic world. Nearly everything we eat, drink, or own contains plastic or is contained in plastic. Some plastics, like those that contain BPA or other harmful chemicals, can negatively affect our bodies or the world we live in.

Polypropylene, a complex plastic, is generally considered safe for humans. But what do we know about this useful and ubiquitous product?

What’s polypropylene, and what’s it used for? 

Polypropylene is a plastic. Of the commercial plastics on the market today, polypropylene is considered one of the safest.

It’s FDA-approved for food contact, so you’ll find polypropylene in food containers like those that hold yogurt, cream cheese, and butter products. Because it has a high heat tolerance, it’s also often used in packaging of food that can be heated in a microwave.

Some surgical devices and implants are also made of polypropylene, and polypropylene fibers are commonly used to weave area rugs for indoor and outdoor use.

Is it safe?

Polypropylene, which is derived from petroleum, is considered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be a safer choice than some other types of plastics. It’s not known to cause cancer in humans, and it’s less flammable in fabrics than wool.

It’s important to note, however, that some newer research does point to toxicity in certain polypropylene containers.

The researchers in a 2019 study looked at many kinds of plastic in a wide range of products. They found that the toxicity of a particular plastic varied dramatically from product to product because of each product’s manufacturing process.

In this study, researchers found that some polypropylene products affected androgen hormones and caused a toxic or stress response in cells.

More research is needed, especially since plastics are chemically complex, and each product could have different effects.

This research hasn’t changed the FDA’s or the EPA’s recommendations for the use of polypropylene

round paint tin cans

Choose empty paint cans, You need to know these five things

What Are Paint Cans?

Precisely, paint cans are steel containers carrying paint, a colored liquid used to brush on homes and structures for adornment and other commercial purposes. We use tin-plated steel to make paint cans.

The paint can have different structures, all of which serve different functions. It has a thin-layered tin plate, which helps it resist corrosion. On the other hand, steel gives it strength due to the heaviness of the content it carries.

Are empty paint cans recyclable?

YES, you can recycle paint cans.

Steel cans are the most recycled substance. We can then use recycled steel material repeatedly. Even more, re-melting the steel won’t degrade them.

Are Paint Cans Harmful to the Environment?

It is safe to say that “empty paint cans” are not entirely harmful to the environment when disposed of properly. And on the other hand, paint cans with residue are highly dangerous, either when recycling them or wasting them away in landfills.

How do you store paint safely?

Store the tightly sealed paint can upside-down so that the paint will form a seal around the lid. Store paint cans in dry areas that will not freeze. Store paint cans away from sources of spark or flame.

How to Dispose of Old Paint Cans?

First, confirm that the old paint can is empty. If you find any small amount of paint, no matter how negligible, endeavor to do away with the content. Because of the serious hazard it poses, you must be careful in handling this.

How do I open the paint can?

Wedge the straight edge screwdriver gently under the edge of the lid. Once the screwdriver is in place, gently push down on the screw driver’s handle- this will force the lid to release slightly and eliminate its air-tight seal. Move the screwdriver to another part of the lid and repeat this exact process. Continue to do this (about 3-4 times around the lid) until the lid is disconnected from the paint can and can be easily lifted off…no mess.

Five things you need to pay attention to when choosing a pressitin cans manufacturer?

Canned food is convenient, delicious, and affordable, but many people think that canned food has a lot of preservatives and no nutrition. Is this really the case?

Canned food originated in the early 19th century. In order to ensure the food supply of the army, French Napoleon offered a heavy reward for the method of delaying the deterioration of food. After that, the Frenchman Appel invented a kind of food that can remain unchanged for a long time – canned food. Later, canned food gradually spread to the civilian field, and now it has become a popular food all over the world. There are various kinds of canned food, and the fruits, vegetables, edible fungi, aquatic products, meat, etc. we usually eat can be made into canned food.

Many people believe that the long shelf life of canned food must be due to the addition of a large number of preservatives. In fact, canned food can have a relatively long shelf life thanks to the sealed container and strict sterilization, and it has nothing to do with preservatives.

A sealed container can block the passage of air or microorganisms outside the container into the container, greatly reducing the oxygen content in the food and the container, so that the potential growth of microorganisms in the container is stagnant. In addition, strict thermal sterilization can cause potential microorganisms in the container to die due to heat treatment, physical action, or chemical action.

Others believe that after high-temperature sterilization, the nutrients of canned food are destroyed, so they think that canned food is nutritious. It is undeniable that most canned food is thermally processed, and the nutrients in the food such as vitamin C and dietary fiber are lost to a certain extent, but most of the food also needs to be cooked before eating. There may not be any advantages over canned food. Moreover, most people do not eat canned food three times a day, but occasionally eat canned food, and those nutrients lost are easily replenished through other foods.

Food tin cans
Food tin cans

Generally speaking, canned food has metal packaging, glass bottle packaging, flexible packaging, and other packaging forms. For canned food, purchasing food cans is also knowledge. Here are 5 tips for choosing metal food cans:

  1. Do not use the purchased metal food cans in the following situations:

The metal can is severely deformed, broken, or rusted, and the bottom/lid bulges outwards. The food cans in these situations obviously no longer have the functions of filling and sealing, isolating oxygen, and directly contacting food.

2. The material of the food can:

Generally, metal food cans are made of tinplate or aluminum. For tinplate food cans, they can be used for various dry and liquid foods; but for aluminum food cans, it is limited to the packaging of dry food, not suitable for liquids. Filling and long-term sealed storage of similar foods.

3. The composition of the food can:

There are many kinds of production processes for food cans, such as stretch cans, welded cans, bottom cans and so on. Due to the limitations of the production process, stretch cans are generally small-sized food cans. It is suitable for food filling below 200ml; welding tanks are generally of various sizes, and can fill large volumes of food; bottom tapping tanks are also a type of welding tank, but they are different from the first two in the structure of bottom tapping tanks. The bottom of the can is separated from the can body, and the easy-open lid has been sealed by the sealing machine in advance. When sealing, it is only necessary to snap the bottom and the can body together by hand to complete. Easy to operate and save the cost of machine sealing. However, due to the gap between the bottom and the body of the can, the bottom cans are only suitable for the packaging of dry foods.

4. Labeling of food cans:

Both regular and powerful manufacturers can provide can-labeling services. Many customers want to make their own LOGO or their product introduction into a label and stick it on the jar, so if customers have this demand, they must choose a regular manufacturer that can customize printing and LOGO, such as Alibaba and China Manufacturing Platform For companies with real-name authentication, the platform will also guarantee the transaction between the two parties.

5. Food Can Order Quantity and Shipping:

Food cans are generally mass-produced, the individual volume is relatively large, and the packaging volume will be large. The import volume of some small individual traders is relatively low, and the international freight will be very expensive. For small orders ranging from a dozen to several hundred, the express service is better, but the cost may exceed 2-3 times the value of the product, and the total value of the goods also exceeds the market price of local purchases; for large orders, shipping to Hong Kong is a very good choice. , the ratio of international shipping and product value is also within the normal range. Therefore, when choosing to buy food cans, small orders suggest that customers choose to buy locally. For large orders of more than tens of thousands, it is very advantageous to import food cans from China.

After understanding these 5 points, I believe that many customers can choose the most suitable products and high-quality manufacturers according to the needs of individuals or companies.
