Comprehensive Protection in Explosion-Prone Environments

In industries that demand the highest level of safety when handling hazardous and flammable liquids, selecting the right container is a matter of critical importance. SCHÜTZ PACKAGING SYSTEMS proudly introduces the IBC SCHUTZ ECOBULK SX-EX – an Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) engineered to deliver outstanding safety when atmospheres become potentially explosive.

This is more than just a container – it’s a complete protection system designed to endure extreme conditions and safeguard both your product and workplace environment.

Why IBC SCHUTZ ECOBULK SX-EX is the Top Choice

With decades of experience in innovation and leadership in the industrial packaging sector, SCHÜTZ developed the IBC SCHUTZ ECOBULK SX-EX as a testament to its commitment to safety and durability. This product is the result of advanced engineering, tailored to meet the most stringent requirements for transporting and storing materials in Ex-zones.

What sets the SX-EX apart is its robust steel outer shell – a reflection of SCHÜTZ’s deep expertise in managing physical and thermal risks in hazardous environments.

Superior Protection with Steel Shell & Electrostatic Safety

The standout feature of the IBC SCHUTZ ECOBULK SX-EX is its unique outer shell design and integrated safety features:

• Full Steel Shell Protection: Unlike conventional IBCs, the IBC SCHUTZ ECOBULK SX-EX is equipped with a welded tubular steel cage and a full steel cladding. This steel shell offers enhanced resistance to mechanical and thermal stress, providing exceptional protection against physical impact, fire, or external threats.
• Integrated Antistatic Properties: The steel cladding also protects the container from electrostatic charges, playing a vital role in preventing spark generation in explosion-prone environments.
• Certified for Ex-zones 1 and 2: The SX-EX is suitable for use in hazardous areas classified as Zone 1 and Zone 2, provided legal and company safety precautions are strictly observed.
• Tested Electromagnetic Safety: The product has been tested for electrostatic safety in accordance with rigorous international standards such as IEC/TS 60079-32-1:2013 and TRGS 727:2016.
• Grounded Discharge Valve: The integrated discharge valve is grounded to ensure safe dissipation of any static electricity from the filled product.
