What is a Dry Bulk Container used for?
A Dry Bulk Container, also known as a bulk container or simply a bulk box, is a specialized type of shipping container designed for the transportation of dry, free-flowing bulk commodities such as grains, powders, pellets, and granules. Unlike standard dry cargo containers, dry bulk containers have a sealed and reinforced interior to prevent leakage and contamination of the cargo. They often have loading hatches or discharge outlets at the top or bottom to facilitate efficient loading and unloading of the bulk materials.
Dry bulk containers are commonly used in the agricultural, chemical, and mining industries for the transport of bulk commodities in large quantities.
