Elkhart Plastics Introduces TUFF Stack Pro™ Intermediate Bulk Container

Posted on by hotchkind

SOUTH BEND, IN — Introducing the TUFF Stack Pro™ as part of our growing Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) line.

TUFF Stack Pro™ IBC has an inner cylindrical tank in a heavy-duty all-poly structural frame. It’s designed to fit a variety of applications and process uses. It offers optional top lifting plates and is designed and tested for 1.9 S.G. product weight.

Available in 275- and 330-gallon sizes, the TUFF Stack Pro™ is manufactured in America using food-safe and recyclable resin. The tanks easily stack with other poly IBCs, and they are washable and reusable as a more environmentally friendly option.

The TUFF Stack Pro™ is UN/DOT 31H1 certified and is manufactured in ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015 certified facilities across the country. Its rotomolded construction allows the IBC to provide excellent impact strength backed by a team dedicated to quality and customer satisfaction.

“We are excited to add the TUFF Stack Pro™ to the TUFF Series IBC product line,” says Jack Welter. “We’ve seen great success with our IBC products over the past several years, and we’re pleased to bring yet another option to the market.”

“We’re dedicated to meeting the needs of both existing and new customers, and the new addition to our IBC line allows us to continue doing so,” Welter says.

Introducing the TUFF LinQ™ Valve

We are also introducing the brand new TUFF LinQ™ outlet valve. The new valve offers a cleanable and supreme sealing design that provides a sanitary connection between the tank and the valve. Its large external threading design eliminates internal threads within the product zone. All new TUFF Series IBCs are currently using the TUFF LinQ™ valve.
