Barrels & IBC

In the storage and processing of substances in barrels and IBC containers moist air is attracted from the environment. This humidity contaminate the stored media. For example, it comes with isocyanate to crystallize, oils are saturated with water and biological fuels forming bacteria and mud. For the protection of hygroscopic substances in drums and IBC's various respiratory dryers GIEBEL can be used.Whether vertical or horizontal drums, whether plastic or stainless steel IBCs, whether container breathing or active substance removal, a rectly set Drum aeration filter ensures clean and dry air supply. GIEBEL has specially developed two series for the protection of isocyanates, polyols, oils, fuels, etc. in barrels and IBCs. You can find all information on Barrels & IBC ventilation on https://www.giebel-adsorber.de/en/applications/drums.
