ORCA1000 INSTRUCTION MANUAL OUR PLANET | YOUR PROFIT

The ORCA1000 is a flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) designed for handling liquid ingredients. It is the most environmentally friendly FIBC on the market while still being functional and cost effective. It is 100% Polypropylene (PP) with a capacity of 1000L, can be stacked two-high and offers multiple options for filling, lifting and discharging. It can be folded flat when empty, enabling storage of 16 bins per standard pallet and 640 bins in a 40ft container. The patented design mitigates flex cracking and other effects of elastic collisions, guaranteeing a safe and efficient movement of your products. The weight and geometry of the ORCA1000 make it the ideal packaging solution for a cost effective and environmentally responsible supply chain.

Recommendations Loading / Unloading (20’ & 40’ containers)In the Loading/Unloading guidelines, a 20’ container is used. The sameprocedure applies for a 40’ container.Remember that this guideline must be complemented by the nationaland international regulations to determine the maximum weight anddimensions of the cargo. For more information visit www.maia-global.comThe following recommendations and safety measures must be taken forboth stacking and no stacking during transport. Important: As well as during filling and stacking procedures, when carrying the unit from the lugs, it should be (minimum) 30cm away from the floor. It must be lowered straight down only on the desired location and not be dragged or lowered gradually towards such location. Dragging the unit may damage the bottom layers housing its content. 30

Maia Global strongly recommend toalways load an even number of unitsinto the container.In situation where the floor is heavilydamaged with possible splinter issues,place cardboard under each unit. 31 OUR PLANET | YOUR PROFIT
