Mining & Minerals Packaging Solutions
Specialized industrial packaging for the mining & minerals sector—engineered for safety, compliance, and performance.
Mining and mineral processing involve abrasive, heavy, and often sharp-edged materials that quickly wear out standard packaging. Silica sand, iron ore concentrate, coal, bauxite, and mineral sands require super-strong woven fabrics, reinforced lifting loops, and abrasion-resistant liners. Many mineral products are shipped in 20ft containers using dry bulk liners, or in large FIBCs (1-3 tons) for easier handling at ports and smelters.
Key Packaging Needs
Critical requirements for the mining & minerals industry
- High Abrasion Resistance: Fabric must withstand sharp edges of crushed ore.
- Heavy Load Capacity: FIBCs with SWL 1-3 tons, safety factor 6:1 or 8:1.
- UV Stabilization: 6-12 months outdoor storage at mines and ports.
- Dust Control: Liners prevent fine particles from escaping.
- Reusable/Disposable Options: Single-use liners or reusable FIBCs.
