Net-based baffles for flexible intermediate bulk containers

Abstract

A flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) for transferring various type of materials, including industry-based granule materials, fine materials like sugar, flour, comprising baffles sewed to edge region of the FIBCs for preventing bulging formation on lateral surfaces thereof so defining an essential volume and subsidiary volume in the FIBC and said baffles having holes for promoting material transfer between the essential volume and subsidiary volume the development comprising said baffle ( 3 ) formed as a net structure having plurality of filaments ( 4 ), plurality of net passages ( 10 ) between these filaments ( 4 ) and connection elements ( 8 ) the filaments ( 4 ) are attached thereon.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) for transferring various type of materials, including industry-based granule materials, fine materials like sugar, flour, comprising baffles sewed to edge region of the FIBCs for preventing bulging formation on lateral surfaces thereof so defining an essential volume and subsidiary volume in the FIBC and said baffles having holes for promoting material transfer between the essential volume and subsidiary volume the development comprising said baffle ( 3 ) is formed as a net structure having plurality of filaments ( 4 ), plurality of net passages ( 10 ) between these filaments ( 4 ) and connection elements ( 8 ) the filaments ( 4 ) are attached thereon.  
     
     
         2 . A net-based baffle according to  claim 1 , wherein one or plurality of intermediate connections ( 13 ) the filaments ( 4 ) are attached thereto are provided so forming columns.  
     
     
         3 . A net-based baffle according to preceding claims, wherein said net passages ( 10 ) comprise polygon formation preferably quadrangle, triangle, hexagon, diagonal shaped geometric formations.  
     
     
         4 . A net-based baffle according to preceding claims, wherein said baffles ( 3 ) are sewed from top limit ( 5 ) through bottom ( 6 ) limit of the FIBC ( 1 ) to connection edges ( 9 ) thereof.  
     
     
         5 . A net-based baffle according to preceding claims, wherein the connection elements ( 8 ) comprise an outer element fixed to said lateral surfaces ( 7 ) and an inner element attached to said filaments ( 4 ).  
     
     
         6 . A net-based baffle according to preceding claims, wherein said connection elements ( 8 ) of different baffles ( 3 ) are sewed as one on the top of the other to said lateral surfaces ( 7 ).
