Stainless steel IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) tanks are the safest industrial container solutions developed for the international standard transport, storage and discharge of liquid, powder and granular products into process lines. AISI 316L stainless steel IBC tanks manufactured by ÖNSA Makine are indispensable equipment for the food, chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, particularly due to their superior resistance to acidic and highly corrosive fluids. Compared to plastic alternatives, their non-flammable structure, leak-proof guarantee and service life exceeding 20 years make them the most profitable logistics investment for businesses.
