IBCs are used for handling, storage, and tumble blending of pharmaceutical components. Buck® IBCs range from laboratory to production size (30 to 3000 liters), with charging and discharging valves in a variety of styles. A series of tumble blenders interface with the IBCs for in-container blending of dry powder formulations. Wash stations with many options act with the containers and systems for a consistent, repeatable standard.

Chargers come in manual or automatic modes, with a patented seal arrangement for powder containment. Dischargers may be manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic, through the floor or via hoists. Dischargers can be combined with weighing systems to monitor status of IBC contents during discharging. Buck® solids deceleration devices improve control of solids discharging between processes.
