Highest quality and variety of products

Highest quality and variety of productsSCHÄFER Container Systems offers an extensive range of stainless steel IBCs for various applications, whether for liquids, pastes or solids. Our products can be craned, driven under and stacked, which enables flexible and efficient handling. They are available in various volumes of up to 1,000 litres and more!

Reliability and safety

As an IBC container manufacturer, we offer you IBCs made of high-quality stainless steel. This makes them particularly durable and resistant to internal and external influences. The stainless steel tank containers BTA and SCHÄFER Cube BTU, for example, offer international UN approvals that enable them to be used worldwide and fulfil the highest safety standards. Hazardous goods containers and aseptic containers guarantee optimum protection for particularly sensitive or dangerous substances.

Individual customisation options

Individual customisation optionsDepending on the area of application, the IBCs can be equipped with specific accessories such as agitators, fill level measurements, insulation and special coatings. This enables us as an IBC container manufacturer to develop customised IBC containers for our customers to meet their individual requirements. Special solutions and customised IBC tanks are also part of our range.

Innovative technology and efficiency

A closed material cycle

At the end of its long service life, IBC container manufacturers such as SCHÄFER Container Systems can fully recycle a used stainless steel IBC without the material losing its excellent properties. In Germany, the recycling rate for metal packaging is over 90%, which significantly reduces the environmental impact.

Stainless steel can be returned to the material-to-material cycle as often as required, making it available again and again for future generations. This makes stainless steel a particularly sustainable material that meets high ecological standards and becomes part of a closed-loop economy.

Use in numerous industries

Another advantage of stainless steel IBCs is their versatility. They can be used in various industries, including chemicals, food and pharmaceuticals. Their stackable design enables efficient transport and storage, further reducing transport costs and CO2 emissions.

Innovative technologies such as active and passive data carriers also help to optimise return logistics in fleet management, leading to an even more efficient use of resources.

Support for sustainable initiatives

As an IBC container manufacturer, SCHÄFER Container Systems is actively involved in initiatives such as ‘metal recycles forever’, which emphasises the benefits of metal packaging in recycling and promotes a sustainable circular economy. These metal industry initiatives help to raise awareness of the importance of recyclable materials in industry and commerce.

Durability and robustness

Stainless steel IBCs are particularly resistant to mechanical stress, chemical influences and temperature fluctuations. This makes them less susceptible to damage and significantly extends their service life compared to plastic IBCs, which can break more easily or corrode due to aggressive substances.

Hygiene and safety

Stainless steel IBCs offer a smooth, non-porous surface that is easy to clean and sterilise. Many industries can benefit by meeting the highest hygiene standards with stainless steel IBCs. Plastic IBCs, on the other hand, can release plasticisers and other chemicals that could potentially be harmful to health.

Economic efficiency

Although the initial investment for stainless steel IBCs can be higher, the lower maintenance and replacement costs pay off in the long term. The longer service life and the possibility of multiple reuse significantly reduce the overall costs over the life cycle.

Temperature resistance and UV protection

Stainless steel IBCs are significantly more temperature-resistant than plastic IBCs. They can be used at extreme temperatures without the material being affected. Another advantage is the UV protection that plastic IBCs cannot provide.

Environmental protection

Stainless steel IBCs are not only part of a well-functioning circular economy, they are also fully recyclable and therefore help to reduce plastic waste. Plastic IBCs, on the other hand, are often difficult and costly to recycle and have a very negative impact on environmental protection worldwide.
