Fill quantities and fill height of BBM125
BBM125 holds 2.34 m³ by calculation and carries 250 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BBM125 | Old mineral wool, loose | 0,10 | 235 kg | full height, 150 cm | 100 % |
| BBM125 | Wood chips | 0,25 | 585 kg | 64 cm of 150 cm | 43 % |
| BBM125 | Plastic granules | 0,60 | 1,405 kg | 27 cm of 150 cm | 18 % |
| BBM125 | Sand, dry | 1,50 | 3,515 kg | 11 cm of 150 cm | 7 % |
Guide values as in the Fill Limit Calculator; the measured bulk density of your material is what counts. With dry sand, BBM125 reaches the load capacity at 11 cm fill height.
Quantity planning with BBM125
How many BBM125 do you need for a given quantity of material? The table uses the nominal volume of 2.34 m³ and 300 pieces per pallet. With sand (1.50 t/m³), the load capacity of 250 kg limits the fill quantity per bag to 0.17 m³.
| Items | Material quantity | Bags at full volume | Pallets | Bags for sand at the load capacity limit | Pallets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BBM125 | 10 m³ | 5 | 1 | 60 | 1 |
| BBM125 | 25 m³ | 11 | 1 | 150 | 1 |
| BBM125 | 50 m³ | 22 | 1 | 300 | 1 |
| BBM125 | 100 m³ | 43 | 1 | 600 | 2 |
Worked example for 100 m³ of material
How many BBM125 are needed depends on the density: with light material the volume of 2.34 m³ fills the bag; with heavy material the load capacity of 250 kg is reached earlier.
- Old mineral wool, loose (0.10 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 10 t. One BBM125 takes 2.34 m³ or 235 kg; the volume of 2.34 m³ sets the limit. You need 43 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Wood chips (0.25 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 25 t. One BBM125 takes 1.00 m³ or 250 kg; the load capacity of 250 kg sets the limit. You need 100 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Plastic granules (0.60 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 60 t. One BBM125 takes 0.42 m³ or 250 kg; the load capacity of 250 kg sets the limit. You need 240 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Sand, dry (1.50 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 150 t. One BBM125 takes 0.17 m³ or 250 kg; the load capacity of 250 kg sets the limit. You need 600 pieces, which is 2 pallets.
Handling of BBM125
- BBM125 has four lifting loops. With BBM125, always attach all four; crane and forklift are possible.
- The skirt of BBM125 is tied shut after filling. This keeps dust in.
- BBM125 is coated. According to the data sheet the fabric protects against the ingress of moisture and is suitable for rain and outdoor storage. UV light still weakens it.
- When filled, BBM125 weighs up to 250 kg. Lifting equipment, lifting accessories and ground must be rated for this.
- BBM125 carries the mineral wool warning print in three languages. Because of the low density of old mineral wool, volume limits the filling, not weight.
- The standard reference TRGS 521 in the data sheet of BBM125 is not an approval; the acceptance is clarified by your waste disposal company, see Asbestos and mineral wool.
- A pallet holds 300 pieces of BBM125 (6 bundles of 50 pieces). Store unused bags in their original packaging.
Open details for BBM125
For BBM125 the data sheet gives one value unclearly or not at all: the fabric weight in g/m². It says “on request” there. We confirm the value in writing before your order. Plan lifting equipment, filling and number of pallets only with it, and ask via the enquiry form.
