The walls are raised and locked in place by hand. The container sides are numbered to indicate the order in which they are locked in place. The liner bag is then positioned inside the COMBO with the discharge valve clip-locked in place. The unit is now ready to be filled.

COMBOs can be filled using existing systems since they are designed for compatibility. For aseptic filling a closed system and sterilised liner prevent contamination. An irradiated liner lets you achieve an otherwise unattainable level of cleanliness.

Filled COMBOs are strong and stable and can be stacked high. They are weatherproof and can be left outdoors for long periods when aseptically filled without any risk to the product. Additionally, the containers’ compact, square design makes them safe and very efficient to store in large numbers.

The compact design of COMBO maximizes space and payload in all modes of transport. When returning empties after discharging, the transport advantages are even greater as the containers’ side panels are folded down. They also have a low weight compared to most other distribution units, which means lower transport costs.

Traditional, rigid IBCs often prove difficult to empty, creating waste and consequently lost revenue. By contrast, the COMBO liner bag always outperforms a rigid IBC as it is flexible (expands when filled and contracts when emptied); contains no air; no oxidation / no skinning, and permits product batching and extended shelf life.

Folding a COMBO is as easy as setting one up. Once the liner bag has been removed, one person can unlock the side walls (if using a locking system) and fold them down again. Empty COMBOs require little space when kept in storage waiting for the return freight since their collapsed volume is three times smaller.
