HydroCube
Collapsible Drum IBC
The HydroCube is a robust and flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC). It features a sturdy polypropylene outer layer paired with a high-grade polyethylene inner liner.
Functionally akin to a standard IBC, the HydroCube allows for convenient top filling and bottom discharge. What sets HydroCube apart is its exceptional cost-effectiveness, providing a more economical solution when compared to traditional IBCs. It is imperative to highlight that HydroCube, while versatile, should not be utilized for transporting hazardous products.
bag for your versatile needs
Transporting liquids have posed challenges throughout history, relying on wooden barrels, plastic containers, and metal drums. Traditional round and cylinder shapes dominated liquid shipments, but the structural strength offered by the cubical shape inspired by the boxfish is truly revolutionary.
In today’s diverse landscape of liquid storage and transportation options, including bins, drums, barrels, and IBCs, the collapsible versions have often lacked reliability. Explore our innovative Ccubicus technology, introducing a cubical shape that not only saves space but also enhances durability.
The collapsible design, featuring an exterior made of woven polypropylene and woven fabric with polypropylene supporting tubes, is further complemented by a ‘cassette’ made of two plies of polyethylene with carton protection.
HydroCube is available in a range of capacities, starting from 750 liters and reaching up to 1750 liters. If your specific requirements demand a capacity within this range, we offer the flexibility to design a custom HydroCube to perfectly match your needs.

Steam Liner for HydroCube…
For solidifying cargos like liquid sugars, palm oil, and other edible oils we developed a fast heating method. Steam Liner is a chamber to preserve and circulate steam all around the K-Flex bottom, center and top. Steam directly transmits heat to the cargo from all directions, rather than just bottom of the tank like a conventional heating pad.
