This E-Learning package is designed to used with existing safe operating procedures within DGL’s Quality management system Key points Clients of DGL reuse IBC’s for refilling and it is essential that the IBC condition and cleanness is monitored to avoid contamination. Numbering, labeling and sealing the IBC’s allows proper tracking of movements Please consider these key points as you work through the package
Section 1 : SAFETY Material Safety Data Sheet It is important that all persons involved in the handling of any chemical are fully aware of the hazards Both the supervisor and person completing the decant need to be familiar with the MSDS. Before starting the decanting process the operator shall read a copy of the current MSDS and sign the container unpacking form F-150. If you handled the product before you still must read the MSDS and sign the container unpacking form for every decant For more information on MSDS refer to the ELearning package T1170 Understandng MSDS
Section 2 : Inspecting the IBC Prior to the completion of the decant all IBC’s need to be Inspected for quality purposes. IBC is to be no more than 5 years old from date of manufacture The manufacture date of the IBC can be found near the top lid. IBC is to be clean internally and externally Old labels to be removed Never place a new product label over the top of an old label even if the old label is the same product type. Discharge valve inspected Discharge valve to be checked by removing secondary closure and opening and closing valve Tank frame to be in good order and condtion IBCs should be individually numbered Figure A. Acceptable IBC Figure B. Unacceptable IBC
Section 2 : Inspection the IBC’s Discharge valve inspected Discharge valve to be checked by removing secondary closure and turning handle Figure A. With secondary Figure B. Without secondary Important note Never fill a IBC that does not have a secondary enclosure
Section 2 : Inspection the IBC’s Damaged tank frames IBC with damaged tank frames should not be used for repacks Figure A. Damage to the top frame Figure B. Damaged to the bottom
Section 2 : Inspection the IBC’s IBC’s should be individually numbered IBC should be individually numbered as the empty IBCs would have undergone an IBC inspection when they entered the warehouse (F-1050) Before decanting the IBCs should again be inspected using F-1050 Figure A Example of correct IBC numbering on two sides of the IBC
Section 2 : Filling the IBC All IBC’s are filled to by weight and scales must be used for all decants. The IBC is placed onto the scales, the scales are then tared to zero. The product is then discharged into the container until desired weight has been achieved Repeat until flexitank / isotainer is empty Be sure to mark weight of any part full IBC’s onto the container Important note Do not place the hose onto the container when taring of the empty IBC prior to filling. Figure A. Tare off IBC Figure B. Filling IBC
Section 2 : Filling the IBC To assist with final product discharge and ensure only minimal residue remains tilt container at an angle, or push product forward along the bag with a broom rolling the flexi tank bladder Figure A. push forward product with broom
Section 2 : Sealing the IBC After each IBC is filled a seal is placed on the lid of a container and the discharge valve. All seals are uniquely number The numbers used must be recorded on the goods inward notification form. Partly full IBC’s must also have seals placed on the lid and the discharge valve Important note Correctly sealing containers allows for correct identification of product in the event of a product label deteriating or falling of the IBC Figure A. Seal on lid of IBC) Figure B. Seal on discharge valve
Section 2 : Sealing of a Pallecon Sealing of a Pallecon Images below show the seal location required for Pallecon Figure A: Seal on cover near dispatch valve Figure B. close up of seal Placement
Section 2 : Labelling the IBC After filling the IBC’s the is to be labeled All labels must at a minimum have : Product code Product name Batch number If a batch is not nominated by the client, a batch number must be created by DGL staff. Batch numbers created by DGL staff are to be reverse date format. Reverse date format YYYYMMDD Example 20120616 Important note If the product is a dangerous good the product must be labeled to meet the requirements of the Australian dangerous goods code. For more information on labeling refer to the ELearning package Txxxx AADG Figure A. Label on the IBC
Section 2 : Clean up Stop ends placed back on hoses Hang up hoses Wash down decant area Clean pumps Figure A. Hoses hanging after being washed out
