Fill quantities and fill height of BB45T
BB45T holds 0.12 m³ by calculation and carries 500 kg at safety factor 5:1. The table shows the weight of the full bag and the permitted fill height.
| Items | Material (guide value) | Bulk density t/m³ | Weight at full volume | max. fill height | Fill level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BB45T | Sand, dry | 1,50 | 180 kg | full height, 60 cm | 100 % |
| BB45T | Gravel, chippings | 1,60 | 195 kg | full height, 60 cm | 100 % |
| BB45T | Rubble, mixed | 1,40 | 170 kg | full height, 60 cm | 100 % |
| BB45T | Soil, excavated material | 1,60 | 195 kg | full height, 60 cm | 100 % |
| BB45T | Cement, loose | 1,20 | 145 kg | full height, 60 cm | 100 % |
Guide values as in the Fill Limit Calculator; the measured bulk density of your material is what counts. With sand, BB45T stays below the load capacity.
Quantity planning with BB45T
How many BB45T do you need for a given quantity of material? The table uses the nominal volume of 0.12 m³ and 1,200 pieces per pallet. With sand (1.50 t/m³), the load capacity of 500 kg limits the fill quantity per bag to 0.12 m³.
| Items | Material quantity | Bags at full volume | Pallets | Bags for sand at the load capacity limit | Pallets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BB45T | 10 m³ | 83 | 1 | 83 | 1 |
| BB45T | 25 m³ | 206 | 1 | 206 | 1 |
| BB45T | 50 m³ | 412 | 1 | 412 | 1 |
| BB45T | 100 m³ | 824 | 1 | 824 | 1 |
Worked example for 100 m³ of material
How many BB45T are needed depends on the density: with light material the volume of 0.12 m³ fills the bag; with heavy material the load capacity of 500 kg is reached earlier.
- Sand, dry (1.50 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 150 t. One BB45T takes 0.12 m³ or 180 kg; the volume of 0.12 m³ sets the limit. You need 824 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Gravel, chippings (1.60 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 160 t. One BB45T takes 0.12 m³ or 195 kg; the volume of 0.12 m³ sets the limit. You need 824 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Rubble, mixed (1.40 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 140 t. One BB45T takes 0.12 m³ or 170 kg; the volume of 0.12 m³ sets the limit. You need 824 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Soil, excavated material (1.60 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 160 t. One BB45T takes 0.12 m³ or 195 kg; the volume of 0.12 m³ sets the limit. You need 824 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Cement, loose (1.20 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 120 t. One BB45T takes 0.12 m³ or 145 kg; the volume of 0.12 m³ sets the limit. You need 824 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
Handling of BB45T
- BB45T has four lifting loops. With BB45T, always attach all four; crane and forklift are possible.
- BB45T has no skirt and is open at the top. If you want to keep dust in, cover the filled bag.
- BB45T is uncoated. Store it dry and covered; the fabric absorbs moisture.
- When filled, BB45T weighs up to 500 kg. Lifting equipment, lifting accessories and ground must be rated for this.
- A pallet holds 1,200 pieces of BB45T (24 bundles of 50 pieces). Store unused bags in their original packaging.
