Fill quantities and fill height of BBM90T
BBM90T holds 0.89 m³ by calculation and carries 150 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BBM90T | Old mineral wool, loose | 0,10 | 90 kg | full height, 110 cm | 100 % |
| BBM90T | Wood chips | 0,25 | 225 kg | 74 cm of 110 cm | 67 % |
| BBM90T | Plastic granules | 0,60 | 535 kg | 31 cm of 110 cm | 28 % |
| BBM90T | Sand, dry | 1,50 | 1,335 kg | 12 cm of 110 cm | 11 % |
Guide values as in the Fill Limit Calculator; the measured bulk density of your material is what counts. With dry sand, BBM90T reaches the load capacity at 12 cm fill height.
Quantity planning with BBM90T
How many BBM90T do you need for a given quantity of material? The table uses the nominal volume of 0.89 m³ and 500 pieces per pallet. With sand (1.50 t/m³), the load capacity of 150 kg limits the fill quantity per bag to 0.10 m³.
| Items | Material quantity | Bags at full volume | Pallets | Bags for sand at the load capacity limit | Pallets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BBM90T | 10 m³ | 12 | 1 | 100 | 1 |
| BBM90T | 25 m³ | 29 | 1 | 250 | 1 |
| BBM90T | 50 m³ | 57 | 1 | 500 | 1 |
| BBM90T | 100 m³ | 113 | 1 | 1.000 | 2 |
Worked example for 100 m³ of material
How many BBM90T are needed depends on the density: with light material the volume of 0.89 m³ fills the bag; with heavy material the load capacity of 150 kg is reached earlier.
- Old mineral wool, loose (0.10 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 10 t. One BBM90T takes 0.89 m³ or 90 kg; the volume of 0.89 m³ sets the limit. You need 113 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Wood chips (0.25 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 25 t. One BBM90T takes 0.60 m³ or 150 kg; the load capacity of 150 kg sets the limit. You need 167 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Plastic granules (0.60 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 60 t. One BBM90T takes 0.25 m³ or 150 kg; the load capacity of 150 kg sets the limit. You need 400 pieces, which is 1 pallets.
- Sand, dry (1.50 t/m³): 100 m³ weigh 150 t. One BBM90T takes 0.10 m³ or 150 kg; the load capacity of 150 kg sets the limit. You need 1,000 pieces, which is 2 pallets.
Handling of BBM90T
- BBM90T has four lifting loops. With BBM90T, always attach all four; crane and forklift are possible.
- The skirt of BBM90T is tied shut after filling. This keeps dust in.
- BBM90T 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, BBM90T weighs up to 150 kg. Lifting equipment, lifting accessories and ground must be rated for this.
- BBM90T 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 BBM90T is not an approval; the acceptance is clarified by your waste disposal company, see Asbestos and mineral wool.
- A pallet holds 500 pieces of BBM90T (10 bundles of 50 pieces). Store unused bags in their original packaging.
Open details for BBM90T
For BBM90T 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.
