All PCM IBC’s are UN performance tested and certified for the carriage of dangerous goods. PCM IBC’s are manufactured to withstand application and release of internal pressure of up to 3 BAR throughout their service life. The application of internal pressure enables the rapid discharge of container contents. Typically 1000 litres of product can be discharged in 6 minutes using an applied pressure of 2 BAR; this compares with 30 minutes to discharge using gravity alone.
The PCM 1000 is available in Stainless Steel, Mild Steel with various lining options. Our PCM’s last many years in service even with aggressive chemicals. Refer to our IBC Utilisation Guide to see how to maximise IBC performance and to check whether your products are compatible with our IBC’s.

Description
The PCM 1000 is a reusable IBC designed for the transportation, storage and pressure discharge of hazardous liquids.
The pressure discharge method is highly cost effective; containers are not left with customers. Instead a unit on average can achieve 3 deliveries a week. The container also comes with a “Safety Air Feed”. The SAF enables delivery personnel to discharge the IBC quickly and effectively, whilst safely standing on the ground. The cylindrical tank body, manufactured from steel, is inherently much stronger than square tanks and with no crevices it is therefore easy to clean down. The tank body is painted to provide resistance to the external environment. The pallet base is detachable and replaceable.
The pallet base connects with the tank so units can be stacked for loading and space saving. It can also be painted or galvanised to provide excellent resistance to the elements. It has four way fork truck entry with anti-tilts and a two way pallet truck entry to improve handling efficiency.
The Tank inlet which is 460mm in diameter has a HDPE¹ lid with a galvanised carrying strap and is secured by 24 bolts. It is fitted with an EPDM³ seal and 2 x 38mm camlock and dustcaps. The outlet consists of a 50mm threaded outlet pipe in HDPE from the tank body to a 50mm GRPP⁵ lockable ball valve, fitted with EPDM³ seals and terminating in a 38mm integral camlock adapter complete with a dustcap. The dustcap is retained to the valve handle via a retaining cable.
