The invention discloses a container arrangement having an outlet port and a liner bag containing fluid, which includes pressure means adapted to create a high pressure within the liner bag, by means of a force applied to the liner bag and fluid; the force is applied by two rollers which grip the liner bag at a point furthest from the outlet port, then move on an arc towards the outlet port; and the roller squeezes the fluid forward and drive it out of the liner bag; and wherein the pressure means and the rollers are not mutually enabled. The rollers are closed by hand but are squeezed together with pneumatic cylinders. The container arrangement can be a liner bag and/or intermediate bulk container (IBC).
The invention discloses a manifold arrangement for bulk handling of fluid material having an inner bag for holding fluid material, which includes a manifold member adapted to be located within the inner bag, the inner bag having a product inlet through which fluid material can be introduced into the inner bag and a product outlet through which the fluid material can flow from the inner bag, and being adapted to assist in forcing fluid material out of the inner bag through the product outlet and thereby reducing residue in the inner bag.
B65D 77/06 - Liquids or semiliquids enclosed in flexible containers disposed within rigid containers
B65D 81/05 - Containers, packaging elements, or packages, for contents presenting particular transport or storage problems, or adapted to be used for non-packaging purposes after removal of contents specially adapted to protect contents from mechanical damage maintaining contents at spaced relation from package walls, or from other contents
The invention discloses a fluid guiding arrangement for bulk handling of fluid material, which includes a fluid guiding member adapted to be placed inside a bag for holding fluid material, the bag having at least one opening and the fluid guiding member being adapted to create channels to assist residual fluid material in the bag to be discharged and/or decanted. The bag may have at least one opening through which fluid material can be introduced into the bag and/or through which the fluid material can flow from the bag, and being adapted to assist in forcing fluid material out of the bag through the opening and thereby reducing residue fluid material in the bag.
The invention discloses a manifold arrangement for bulk handling of fluid material having an inner bag for holding fluid material, which includes a manifold member adapted to be located within the inner bag, the inner bag having a product inlet through which fluid material can be introduced into the inner bag and a product outlet through which the fluid material can flow from the inner bag, and being adapted to assist in forcing fluid material out of the inner bag through the product outlet and thereby reducing residue in the inner bag.
The invention discloses a packaging arrangement for the bulk handling of fluid material and being adapted to be located within an outer box and/or container, which includes an inner bag adapted to hold fluid material, the inner bag having a product inlet through which the fluid material can be introduced into the inner bag and a product outlet through which the fluid material can flow from the inner bag; and a surrounding member adapted to surround the inner bag and adapted to form at least one air pocket or air compartment between the surrounding member and the inner bag, the pocket having an air inlet through which air can be introduced into the pocket and thereby putting pressure on the inner bag to force the fluid material out of the inner bag through the product outlet.
B65D 5/26 - Rigid or semi-rigid containers of polygonal cross-section, e.g. boxes, cartons or trays, formed by folding or erecting one or more blanks made of paper by folding-up portions connected to a central panel from all sides to form a container body, e.g. of tray-like form with extensions of opposite sides mutually interlocking to lie against other sides
B65D 30/08 - Sacks, bags or like containers characterised by the material used with laminated or multiple walls in spaced face-to-face relationship, e.g. double walls
B65B 31/00 - Packaging articles or materials under special atmospheric or gaseous conditions; Adding propellants to aerosol containers
B65D 35/28 - Pliable tubular containers adapted to be permanently deformed to expel contents, e.g. collapsible tubes for toothpaste or other plastic or semi-liquid material; Holders therefor with auxiliary devices for expelling contents
B65D 30/10 - Sacks, bags or like containers characterised by shape or construction

GLAND RETAINING CLIP FOR INTERMEDIATE BULK CONTAINERS
The invention discloses a gland retaining clip for an intermediate bulk container supporting a flexible collapsible container inner bag used for the bulk handling of fluent materials, which includes a first supporting member and a second supporting member adapted to be assembled together to embrace a gland and adapted to be inserted into an outlet opening of an intermediate bulk container to fix the gland in this position; a clipping mechanism associated with either or both the first supporting member and the second supporting member and being adapted to clip the assembled first supporting member and the second supporting member to the outlet opening; and at least one pinch-preventing member adapted to prevent pinching of the inner bags.
The invention discloses a tamper indicating cap for intermediate bulk containers supporting flexible collapsible container inner bags used for the bulk handling of fluent materials, which includes a cap member adapted to be folded over and clipped onto a gland of a bung to make the bung inaccessible; and a collar member connected to the cap member and being adapted to be slipped over a gland of an intermediate bulk container. The cap may include a tamper indicating tab.
B65D 41/32 - Caps or cap-like covers with lines of weakness, tearing-strips, tags, or like opening or removal devices, e.g. to facilitate formation of pouring openings
B65D 41/34 - Threaded or like caps or cap-like covers
B65D 39/00 - Closures arranged within necks or pouring openings or in discharge apertures, e.g. stoppers
