External & Internal IBC Washing System
Clean the IBC From the Inside — Ready for the Next Batch
The ISL IBC Washing System provides an efficient and hygienic solution for internal and external cleaning of IBCs following material handling and processing operations.
The IBC can be positioned on a drainage frame for efficient discharge of wash water. For internal cleaning, a manually positioned Washing Lid is placed over the IBC opening, enabling high-pressure water to be introduced into the container for automatic internal washing.
The system is supported by a dedicated Water Pump Skid (WPS), featuring a hygienic, integrated design with a built-in satellite station equipped with dedicated outlets for water and cleaning chemicals. This provides a convenient and controlled supply of cleaning media for consistent washing performance.
The ISL IBC Washing System offers a practical and robust solution for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in bulk solids handling applications.

How the IBC Washing System Works
A Simple Internal Washing Arrangement
Prepare the IBC
The IBC is prepared for the internal washing operation.
Position the Washing Lid
The Washing Lid is positioned at the IBC opening.
Connect the Water Supply
The washing system is connected to the required water supply.
Introduce Washing Water
Water is supplied through the Washing Lid at the specified inlet pressure and flow.
Wash the IBC Internally
The water is introduced into the IBC for internal washing.
Complete the Cleaning Operation
After washing, the IBC can proceed to the next stage of the cleaning or production workflow according to the facility's operating procedure.
The datasheet specifies the Washing Lid for internal IBC washing but does not define a specific washing cycle, duration, temperature or cleaning-agent procedure.
Designed for High-Pressure Washing
Water Supply Designed Around the Cleaning Requirement
The Washing Lid is specified for:
These parameters define the water-supply requirements for the Washing Lid installation.
Stainless Steel Construction
Built for IBC Cleaning Applications
The Washing Lid uses stainless steel for its specified construction.
The stainless steel construction provides a dedicated material platform for an IBC washing component used across the industries specified in the datasheet.
Designed Around the IBC
500 mm IBC Lid
The Washing Lid is specified with an:
- IBC Lid Diameter: 500 mm
This allows the washing component to be designed around the corresponding IBC opening.
The supplied product image shows the circular washing lid with its integrated water inlet arrangement and connection below the lid.
Built for Different Bulk Solid Applications
Cleaning the Vessel Between Material Handling Operations
The Washing System is specified for IBCs used in applications involving:
The datasheet identifies Food, Pharma, Chemical & Others as the applicable industries.
Where the Washing Station Fits
Complete the IBC Handling Cycle
An IBC can move through multiple stages of a bulk solids process:
The Washing System provides the cleaning stage within this workflow.
This is particularly relevant where IBCs are reused for different batches or materials and internal washing is required between process operations.
Washing as Part of an IBC-Based Process
Keep the IBC in the Production Workflow
An IBC-based process can use the same vessel through multiple stages of material handling.
Material Handling
The IBC receives and holds the bulk material.
Processing
The IBC can participate in weighing, batching, blending or other process operations depending on the configuration.
Discharge
Material is transferred to the next process stage through the IBC discharge system.
Washing
The Washing Lid provides the interface for internal IBC washing.
Next Batch
Once the applicable cleaning procedure is completed, the IBC can be prepared for its next use.
Designed for Food, Pharma & Chemical Applications
One Washing Interface Across Multiple Industries
The supplied datasheet lists the Washing System for:
- Food
- Pharma
- Chemical
- Others
The actual cleaning procedure, water quality, temperature, cleaning agent and validation requirements are dependent on the specific application and are not specified in this datasheet.
Water & Utility Requirements
Plan the Installation Around the Required Supply
The Washing Lid requires a water supply capable of providing:
These requirements should be considered when planning the installation and water-supply connection.

Its compact design provides a dedicated washing interface without requiring a large standalone washing structure.
Engineered Around Your IBC Process
A Washing Component That Fits Into the Larger System
The Washing Lid can be considered as part of an overall IBC handling system.
A complete workflow can incorporate:
This allows cleaning to be considered as part of the IBC lifecycle rather than as an entirely separate operation.
Cleaning Between Batches
Prepare the IBC for Reuse
Where the same IBC is used for multiple production batches, internal washing can form part of the changeover procedure. A typical workflow may be:
The Washing Lid provides the water connection for the internal washing stage.
The exact cleaning sequence should be established according to the material being handled and the customer's cleaning requirements.
