Applications of Jumbo Bag
In all industries, the product should reach to its destination safely and without any damage. A large number of industries prefer to use jumbo bags according to the above sentences, but the question is, which industries?
- Petrochemical and chemical products manufacturers (e.g. Bitumen Packing )
- Construction industries (e.g. cement packing, granite packing, etc.)

- Agricultural industries (e.g. fertilizer packing, etc.)
Jumbo Bag Safety
One of the customers’ concerns is the jumbo bag leakage.
In the refinery, after filling the jumbo bags with hot bitumen, the jumbo bags will remain in the yard to become cold. In this case the jumbo bags are not perforated.
Also, jumbo bags will be placed in the steel cage on a wooden pallet which protects it from any leakage.

Cost of Jumbo Bag
Among all of the packing type, such as, drum, bulk and jumbo bag, the jumbo bag can be the most affordable. The cost of bulk shipment is expensive, it has high operating costs and freights vary with demand. It may pollute the containers, but jumbo bags and drums do not pollute the container. Although new steel drums are preferred to bulk trade, they are still more expensive comparing to jumbo bags.
Discharging Process of Jumbo Bag
The below video shows the process of discharging bitumen from a jumbo bag at Destination Port. In this process, the outer layer of the jumbo bag (which is recyclable) is removed, and the inner nylon is melted with bitumen.
Why do We Use Jumbo Bags Instead of Steel Drums?
Generally, there are a lot of reasons that bitumen exporters use jumbo bag instead of steel drums. Unlike drums, jumbo bags reduce bitumen waste by about 3 to 4 %. Approximately, the waste goes zero. But the main reasons are as follows:
- The jumbo bag preparation temperature and filling is too much lower than the drums so we can save the thermal energy and the iron used in drums.
- Bitumen jumbo bags are much easier to transport than bitumen drums.
- It’s necessary to heat the bitumen when discharging the drum, but in jumbo bag it’s enough to tear the outer layer of bitumen jumbo bag, and throw the bitumen jumbo bag in the molten furnace with the inner layer.
