Definitions

• the present invention relates to a packaging arrangement.
• the present invention relates to a packaging arrangement for fluids, pastes and powders.
• a packaging arrangement for the bulk handling of fluid material and being adapted to be located within an outer box and/or container includes
• an inner bag adapted to hold fluid material, the inner bag having a product inlet through which the fluid material can be introduced into the inner bag and a product outlet through which the fluid material can flow from the inner bag;
• a surrounding member adapted to surround the inner bag and adapted to form at least one air pocket or air compartment between the surrounding member and the inner bag, the pocket having an air inlet through which air can be introduced into the pocket and thereby putting pressure on the inner bag to force the fluid material out of the inner bag through the product outlet.
• the packaging arrangement may be flexible.
• the surrounding member may consist of at least two layers.
• the surrounding member may have 7 air pockets or air compartments.
• Five of the air pockets or air compartments may be adapted to receive air.
• Two of the air pockets may be adapted not to receive air.
• the air pockets may be inter-connected by means of openings between them.
• the air pockets or air compartments may be formed by seal lines on the surrounding member.
• the packaging arrangement may include 3 air inlets to fill all the five air pockets or air compartments adapted to receive air.
• the packaging arrangement may have a bladder shape.
• the packaging arrangement may consist of transparent material to enable the fluids, pastes and/or powders to be visible from the outside.
• the box and/or container may be an intermediary bulk container (IBC).
• IBC intermediary bulk container
• the packaging arrangement may be a liquid liner.
• the packaging arrangement may include a manifold within the inner bag to assist in forcing the fluid material out of the inner bag through the product outlet.
• the manifold may be a loose device inserted into the inner bag.
• the fluid material may be powdery, paste-like, fluids and/or liquids.
• the intermediate bulk container may have a capacity of 50 to 500 gallons or about 189 to 2000 litres.
• the invention also extends to a method for delivering bulk material and a method for producing the packaging arrangement as described herein.

• a surrounding member 18 adapted to surround the inner bag 12 and adapted to form five air pockets or air compartments 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 between the surrounding member 18 and the inner bag 12, the air pockets 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 having three air inlets 30, 32, 34 through which air can be introduced into the air pockets 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 and thereby putting pressure on the inner bag 12 to force the fluid material out of the inner bag 12 through the product outlet 16.
• the packaging arrangement 10 is flexible.
• the product outlet 16 is located at the bottom of the packaging arrangement 10.
• the product inlet 14 is located that the top of the packaging arrangement 10.
• the surrounding member 18 consists of two layers.
• the packaging arrangement 10 may additionally include two air pockets 36 and 38 adapted not to receive air.
• the air pockets 24, 26 and 28 are inter-connected by means of openings 40 and 42 between them.
• the air pockets or air compartments 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 36 and 38 are formed by seal lines on the surrounding member 18.
