Eurocube is a special tank made of polymeric material with a bottom tray. The shape is made in the form of a cube. For its durability and practicality in use, it quickly spread and was used both in car washes, construction sites, and in the oil and chemical industries. And recently, in everyday life, there has been an application for this type of tanks. Durable polymers are used for the manufacture of containers. Recently, polymers have become very popular, as they can replace other stronger and more expensive materials.

Types of eurocubes

On sale in the markets they offer a wide variety of models, differing in different dimensions, material or volume. At the same time, it is possible to single out general characteristics these options:

• External grid (crate). Almost always made of a rigid frame, with a pallet installed from below. Manufactured using steel. Some models may have wooden or plastic pallets. All this depends entirely on the purpose for which the Eurocube is purchased.
• By shape almost always, these products resemble a cube. This form is most convenient for transportation or use.
• The tank itself Made from durable polyethylene. The manufacturer most often chooses the brand of polyethylene PE 100 for the walls of the tank.
• Wall thickness also depends on the purpose of use and most often the range is from 1.5 to 2 millimeters.
• Colors. White is offered as the standard color. But at the same time, if there is a desire, it is possible to paint the eurocube in any other color.
• Water drain valve. It is best to choose a model that has a ball valve. It is more reliable and will last longer. A piston valve is installed in some models, but it is not so reliable.

According to their purpose, Eurocubes are divided into:

A small number of companies are engaged in the production of such tanks in Russia, but despite this, such tanks are widespread due to convenient functions and wide possibilities for various applications. The most common is 1000 liters.

Why and where they are used

These tanks are multifunctional and it is possible to use them not only for large manufacturing enterprises, but also for ordinary summer residents. The second name of the eurocube is the IBC container. So named because the main purpose is to transport liquid substances, which can be both ordinary and aggressive. There are no analogues of these plastic containers that would be more convenient and would allow storing and transporting bulk and liquid substances.

The tank, which has a volume of 1000 liters, can be used not only by large companies for their own purposes, but also by ordinary people. For example, for arranging your life in a private house. The Eurocube plastic tank is very strong and very light, is not affected by even the most aggressive chemicals and can successfully withstand any weather conditions. All these advantages are achieved using the method of blowing or otherwise rotoforming.

Containers can be reused. But it must be borne in mind that if harmful chemicals were previously transported in it, then it can not be used for all purposes. In any case, the remains of harmful substances have eaten into the plastic and can be harmful to health, even if, for example, you water the garden from such a Eurocube. At the same time, if an ordinary harmless liquid or ordinary water was previously transported in a container, then it can be used for domestic needs. There are also companies that can wash and steam the eurocube of any size from 1000 liters or more.

Accordingly, depending on the goals, there is no need to buy a new container. The cost of a used plastic cube will be much less, and the effect is almost equivalent. If you buy a new plastic container, the price will be high.

How to use hand held tanks

These plastic tanks have spread very widely throughout the country. They are comfortable, versatile and can last for many years. In a summer cottage or in a country house, you can always find the use of a Eurocube container, in which 1000 liters. The main purposes of using previously used tanks are:

• The use of a container for watering the garden with water;
• summer shower;
• septic tank from eurocube;
• everyday needs, such as washing a car.

It is worth noting once again that such containers should not be used to store drinking water. It is not known what was in this tank before, and there is no way to completely get rid of the chemicals from the walls of the tank. For food purposes, buy a new container and then you can safely use it.

eurocube dimensions

These tanks also have standard sizes, like other similar products. All the necessary dimensions are indicated in the upper and lower parts, so that it is clear whether it fits or not. A container of 1000 liters is 1200 mm long, 1000 mm wide and 1160 m high. Of course, deviations of plus or minus 10 mm from these dimensions are possible. The volume is not less than the declared, and maybe a little more. Weight is about 53 kilograms.

The bulk of the companies that produce eurocubes closely follow the standard sizes. For this reason, if you want to purchase a eurocube, it will not be difficult to calculate the dimensions and determine the number of required tanks.

eurocube or IBC container(Intermediate Bulk Container) is produced on German equipment in the workshop of the State Enterprise Soyuz from steel crates and low-pressure polyethylene (HDPE). Eurocube is used for transportation and storage of liquid and bulk goods (some consumers: food, oil, agricultural, paint and varnish, pharmaceutical, chemical industries).

Description:

eurocube consists of structural equipment in the form of a rigid outer package (steel crate, pallet made of wood or metal), which contains a plastic (polyethylene) inner container with service equipment installed on it. Eurocubes are made in such a way that the assembled inner container and outer packaging form a single unit and are used as a single complex unit that is filled, stored, transported or emptied as such. The inner container is not intended to fulfill the function of containing substances without its outer packaging.
Eurocube is designed for transportation and storage of liquid substances, incl. aggressive with a maximum density of 1.5 g/cm3 for containers without a UN certificate and 1.9 g/cm3 for containers with a UN certificate.
Eurocube has passed type tests for lifting from the lower part, stacking strength, tightness of seams under the influence of internal pneumatic pressure, strength of containers under the influence of internal hydraulic pressure, and tested in accordance with GOST 18425-73 Transport filled containers. Free fall impact test method. IBC containers designed to be filled only with liquids whose saturation vapor pressure is such that the gauge pressure in the container at 50 degrees Celsius will be less than 4/7 of the sum of the specified test pressure if the filling temperature was 15 degrees Celsius.

Design:

The shell of the eurocube of the inner container is made of high-density low-pressure polyethylene (PE 100). Shell wall thickness - 1.5 - 2.0 mm (depending on specification).
Sheath color:
– white (natural color of polyethylene)
- or any other on special order.
The container has a cubic shape. On the upper part there is a filler neck with a hole diameter of 150 mm, on which a polyethylene cap is installed, which can be supplied wife vent valve. A drain valve with a plunger or ball type valve and a rubber seal is installed at the bottom of the tank (the type of seal is indicated in the passport).

The outer package is a crate of galvanized steel hollow tubes, with a double type of tube fastening (welded plus screw) attached to a wooden or steel pallet with screws.
The upper part of the crate is attached to the main body with a screw connection and can be detached to replace the plastic bottle.

The drain cock is attached to the bottom of the bottle and does not go beyond the dimensions of the cube.

The range of application of cubic containers in industry, agriculture and everyday life is quite wide. Plastic cubes with a filling hole are used for storage and accumulation of liquids, transportation of various substances that do not react with the container walls, including hazardous substances of the first and second groups. In agriculture, a Eurocube for water of 1,000 liters is indispensable: it accumulates water for irrigating plantings.

5 reasons to choose HDPE eurocube

The cubic shape guarantees the stability of the container;
The strength and lightness of the plastic makes it easy to transport;
Thanks to geometric shape withstand heavy loads;
The plastic Eurocube is safe for health and the environment and is suitable for storing food products;
It is a reliable storage for liquid and bulk substances.
