Abstract

L'invention porte sur un agencement d'emballage pour la manipulation en vrac de matériau fluide, lequel agencement est conçu pour être disposé à l'intérieur d'un conteneur et/ou d'une boîte externe, et comprend un sac interne apte à contenir un matériau fluide, le sac interne ayant une entrée de produit à travers laquelle le matériau fluide peut être introduit dans le sac interne et une sortie de produit à travers laquelle le matériau de fluide peut s'écouler à partir du sac interne ; et un élément environnant conçu pour entourer le sac interne et conçu pour former au moins une poche d'air ou un compartiment d'air entre l'élément environnant et le sac interne, la poche ayant une entrée d'air à travers laquelle de l'air peut être introduit dans la poche, de façon à appliquer ainsi une pression sur le sac interne afin de forcer le matériau fluide hors du sac interne à travers la sortie de produit.
