Big Bags for Flour
Food-grade big bags for flour and flour mixes: dust-tight construction, moisture protection and hygienic production in a BRC IoP AA certified facility.
Flour is a very fine product; it easily sifts through the pores of woven fabric and through the seams. It is also sensitive to moisture: damp flour cakes and its shelf life shortens.
For flour, the priorities are dust-tightness, moisture protection and hygienic production.
Configuration options
Every big bag is made to order. Dimensions, capacity and fittings are defined together with you, based on your product and your filling and discharge line.

What to consider for flour
- Dust leakage: Coated fabric, dust-proof seams or a liner prevent product loss and a dusty warehouse.
- Moisture: A moisture-barrier liner is recommended for long storage or sea freight.
- Hygiene: Flour goes straight into food; the big bag must be produced in a hygiene-controlled environment for food-grade products.
- Filling: Flour holds air during filling; the filling spout is sized to your filling line.
