800 litre IBC for chemicals: VARIBOX FC 800 and SC 800

An 800 litre IBC has the same footprint as a 1000 litre IBC, but is lower. Choose it when your customers need smaller quantities or when height is limited.

VARIBOX makes the 800 litre IBC in two versions: the double-walled VARIBOX FC 800 with built-in spill containment and the single-walled VARIBOX SC 800 with a ball valve. Both are UN/ADR approved and built for up to 10 years of reuse.

Both: inner container and cover made of polyethylene (LLDPE), pallet made of recycled polyethylene, all recyclable. Approved for packing groups II and III, for road (ADR), rail (RID) and sea (IMDG). D160 screw cap with vent (120 l/min) and pressure relief valve. Products up to a density of 1.9, stackable 1 on 1.

Double-walled or single-walled?

Choose the VARIBOX FC 800 if you store hazardous substances on site. Spill containment is built in, so you do not need a separate spill tray. It is emptied via an extractor tube and the system stays closed. More on the double-walled IBCs page.

Choose the VARIBOX SC 800 if you drain from the bottom through a valve, as usual. The robust valve keeps your product safely in the container, and the shape of the inner container makes sure it drains well.

800 or 1000 litres?

	800 litres	1000 litres
Height FC	1,160 mm	1,325 mm
Height SC	1,135 mm	1,325 mm
Empty weight FC / SC	111 kg / 97 kg	122 kg / 105 kg

Footprint, material, approvals and accessories are the same. Read more about the larger container on the 1000 litre IBC page.

Reusable instead of single-use

Up to 10 years in use: only the inner container is replaced after 5 years (ADR).
Little residue: the SC 800 leaves less than 0.5 litre in the container after emptying. In the FC 800, the extractor tube sits at the lowest point of the bathtub-shaped inner container.
In your colour: light blue or natural as standard, and on request dark blue, orange or green, among others.
