New IBC Totes

New IBC totes (Intermediate Bulk Containers) are freshly manufactured containers that have never been used to store or transport materials. These containers come directly from the manufacturer with all original components, including a pristine polyethylene bottle, intact steel or composite cage, and new valve assembly.

For applications involving food-grade materials, pharmaceutical products, or sensitive chemicals, new IBC totes are often required by regulation or quality protocols. The clean interior surfaces eliminate any risk of cross-contamination from previous contents, and the documentation chain is straightforward for compliance purposes.

New totes offer maximum service life expectancy. The bottle material hasn't been exposed to chemicals that could cause degradation, the cage shows no corrosion, and all seals are at full integrity. This translates to reliable performance over many fill cycles before reconditioning becomes necessary.

The premium for new totes over reconditioned alternatives is significant - typically 3-4x the cost. For many applications, a properly reconditioned tote performs identically at a fraction of the price. However, for food-contact applications, ultra-pure chemicals, or situations where contamination risk is unacceptable, new totes provide necessary assurance.
