Components & Valves for IBC Tank Containers | Guard Europe BV

At Guard Europe BV, we supply high-quality valves, fittings, and accessories for IBC tank containers. These industrial containers—also known as Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), are pallet-mounted, reusable tanks used worldwide for transporting and storing liquids and powders. Thanks to their robust construction and flexibility, IBCs are popular in sectors such as the food industry, petrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

Why Choose IBC Tank Containers?

IBCs combine safety, efficiency, and sustainability:

• Suitable for bulk transport and storage of liquids and powders.

• Pallet design makes them easy to stack and move with a forklift or pallet truck.

• Stainless-steel IBCs meet international requirements, including CFR 49, UN 31A, and UL 142.

• Approved under NFPA 30 section 9.4.1(1) for flammable and combustible liquids.

• Specifically engineered for a 1.9 specific gravity rating, ideal for a wide range of chemical applications.

Guard Europe Components for IBC Tank Containers

To use IBCs safely and efficiently, Guard Europe supplies a complete range of components and valves:

🔹 Ball Valves

Our ball valves are known for their durability, easy installation, and reliable sealing. They increase the efficiency of IBC tank containers and offer a long service life.

🔹 Manlids

Manlids provide access to the IBC for inspection, maintenance, and cleaning. Our manlids are:

• Chemically resistant

• Hygienic and easy to clean

• Lightweight and suitable for both liquids and powders

🔹 Safety Relief Valves

These valves protect the tank against overpressure and vacuum.

• Available from DN20 to DN80

• Single- or double-acting, depending on the application

🔹 Bottom Discharge

IBCs are often equipped with a bottom discharge featuring stainless-steel closures. This ensures a controlled outflow and can be supplied with internal or external spring mechanisms.

🔹 Fusible Caps

Fusible caps feature integrated melt-safety, allowing the tank to vent automatically at a specified pressure or temperature—an important additional safety function.
