Resource conservation, efficiency, safety – these topics are the focus of Schütz's trade fair presentation at this year's Scanpack. Under the motto "Expect more," the company will showcase groundbreaking product innovations for the packaging industry in Gothenburg, Sweden, from October 4 to 7, 2022. At booth C02:44, Schütz will present, among other things, its ecological product series Green Layer. Additionally, the packaging specialist will introduce the Ecobulk SX-D, the first combination IBC with FM Global approval, and the Ecobulk MX 560, a versatile container for smaller filling volumes.

The Ecobulk MX 560 impresses with its particularly flat design, enabling optimal utilization of available storage and transport space. The IBC, with a nominal volume of 560 liters, was developed based on the globally successful pallet measuring 1,200 x 1,000 millimeters, and is fully compatible with all other IBCs in Schütz's MX line, making it advantageous for mixed loads as well. The IBC offers users flexible handling and is ideally suited for smaller filling quantities. If needed, Schütz also equips the Ecobulk MX 560 with an EVOH permeation barrier, which protects both the filling product inside the container and the environment from environmental influences.

Secure packaging for hazardous goods

Another highlight is the presentation of the Ecobulk SX-D. This IBC allows for the safe packaging of flammable or easily ignitable liquids. The quality seal of FM Global confirms the IBC's performance as a safe container for sensitive filling products. With its closed, fireproof shell as an extension of the classic wire cage, the Ecobulk SX-D meets the highest safety standards. This shell is welded with the integrated spill tray, creating a sealed container around the inner bladder. The double-walled construction provides additional leak protection and prevents the escape of sensitive liquids into the environment even under extreme conditions, such as during a fire.

Conserving resources with the Green Layer series

Furthermore, Schütz introduces the IBCs and drums from the Green Layer product series. This supports its customers in minimizing their carbon footprint and making an important contribution to achieving global and company-specific climate goals. Schütz uses state-of-the-art 3- or 6-layer extrusion blow molding systems to produce high-quality, natural-colored recycled material with a 30% share for the production of the IBC inner containers and drum bodies. The recycled material flows entirely into the middle layer, ensuring that the filling product and packaging environment come into contact only with virgin material.
