IBC Tippers
Eliminate costly liquid product waste and simplify decanting operations with industrial IBC tippers from ITP Packaging. Designed for standard 1,000-litre Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), our heavy-duty tilting frames automatically incline the container as fluid levels drop, ensuring complete gravity drainage through the bottom valve without manual intervention or safety risks.

Complete Drainage Solutions for 1000L IBC Containers
Due to the flat-bottomed design of standard 1,000L IBCs, gravity dispensing through the lower outlet tap alone leaves a residual volume of liquid stranded at the bottom. Manually tilting a loaded or partially filled IBC weighing up to a tonne is extremely hazardous and requires fork truck intervention or unsafe manual handling.
Our heavy-duty IBC tippers solve this operational challenge safely. By placing your IBC onto an automatic tilting frame, the unit remains completely level when full. As fluid dispenses and weight decreases, internal spring mechanisms gently elevate the rear of the container, guiding every drop toward the dispensing valve.
Benefits of an Automatic IBC Tilting Frame
- Reduce material losses: Leaving just a small amount of expensive chemicals, resins, oils, or food ingredients behind in every container can accumulate to significant financial loss over time. An IBC tipper pays for itself by reclaiming stranded stock.
- Improve site safety & ergonomics: Eliminates dangerous improvised tipping methods, helping facilities comply with UK HSE manual handling regulations.
- Optimise production workflows: Continuous, uninterrupted flow rate from start to finish prevents air locks and pump cavitation during automated filling or dosing lines.
IBC Tippers FAQ
How does an automatic IBC tipper work?
Automatic IBC tippers utilise calibrated tension springs beneath the cradle. When a full 1,000L container is loaded, its weight compresses the springs flat. As the liquid drains out and weight drops, the springs naturally push the back end upward, creating a smooth 5° to 10° tilt angle toward the front tap.
Do these tippers fit all standard 1000L IBCs?
Yes, our tipper frames are engineered to fit standard 1,000-litre IBC containers (1200mm x 1000mm base size), including wooden, plastic, and metal pallet-based containers from all major manufacturers.
Can I use an IBC tilting frame in hazardous ATEX zones or food-grade sites?
For food, beverage, and pharmaceutical facilities requiring frequent chemical washdowns, our Stainless Steel IBC Tipper is recommended.
