Ready to ShipSuper sacks for sand, also known as bulk bags, are designed to hold heavy materials and provide structure, space, and support to the contents. Here are some popular types:
Coarse sand bulk bags
Coarse sand bulk bags often have larger perforations than regular sand or fine sand to deter blockages while retaining the sand grains' strength and durability. It helps the sand bulk bags hold a substantial amount of coarse sand, which can be used for construction building, masonry work, or concrete mixing. Coarse sand commonly used in concrete, drainage, or construction applications can be stored, transported, and used easily because of its unique bag design.
Fine sand super sacks
Fine sand super sacks have tighter weave and smoother surface than coarse sand bags to guard against loss of small particles and provide more protection in transport and storage. Bags can hold fine sand for glass manufacturing, sandblasting, soil amendment, and golf course construction. Their design keeps the uniform, powder-like consistency of fine sand intact without spill or contamination.
Mason sand super sacks
Mason sand bags are made specifically to hold mason sand, which is finer than concrete sand but coarser than silica sand, and they don't come with any added stones or debris. Mason sand bags contain a specific material used in masonry work such as plaster, brick, and block. The super sack structure ensures clean, dry mason sand can be mixed or used for a foundation without mess or waste during transport and storage.
Fill sand super sacks
Fill sand super sacks can help hold fill sand used in construction and landscaping projects for filling holes, grading land, and even creating bases for structures. Fill sand bulk bags may bigger perforations to allow for variable gradations of sand and ensure easy handling of heavier fill sand. Because loading, hauling, and dumping fill sand can be made easier and cleaner with this bulk bag design.
Construction and building materials
Super sacks hold sand, cement, gravel, and other construction materials to help with bulk storage and transport for construction work. They create efficiency for contractors by releasing materials on-site as needed, streamlining project management. Also, their durability enables transportation over long distances without risking the contents.
Landscaping and agriculture
In landscaping and agriculture, super sacks are used to contain fill soil, top dressing soil, beach sand, and crushed stones and gravels for planting projects and landscape designs. They provide a convenient way to transport and spread different types of soil used for professional landscaping creating a cleaner, organized process. They're also helpful in agriculture for quick distribution of amendments like gypsum or dolomite lime across farmlands.
Environmental uses
Super sacks offer innovative solutions for environmental remediation and management dirty water and waste. Used to carry activated carbons, filter media, or absorbent booms, they aid contamination cleanup, sediment capping, and waste management. Their tough nature lets them contain heavy materials used and withstand wet or weather conditions.
Recreation and sports
Super sacks used in recreation management hold special purpose materials like sand for beach rehabilitation projects, sand used in play space and court construction, and silcrete sand used for sports field top dressing. They aid development and maintenance of recreational space by transporting specialty sands for various activities. Also, bags come in tough, weather-resistant construction that helps sand within them remain free and usable until needed.
Emergency flood control
Super sacks provide quick response measures to emergency flood control with design and size sufficient to contain flood-absorbing soil, rocks, or other barriers. Their durability fortifies them against moving water, strong enough to protect building, infrastructure, or environment from flood within short notice.
Size and dimensions
Super sacks typically measure 4 feet in height and 4 feet in width and can hold around one cubic yard of material, which is approximately equal to 2000 pounds or 907 kilograms of dry sand, depending on the type of sand's compactness. Standard dimensions have four 25-inch lift belts sewn across the sacked bag's corners to allow forks for balanced lifting.
Fabric material & weight
Built from industrial-grade woven polypropylene plastic to ensure they are puncture-proof, tear-proof, and waterproof, super sack Woven sandbags can endure sand's sharp edges and heavyweight. Each super sack's fabric has a GSM (grams per square meter) measurement between 90 and 150 GSM for a blend of sturdy and light properties against emptying and weather.
Open & closing mechanism
Super sacks for sand have a standard top filling opening of 20 inches so as to fill easily and a standard size 12-inch hemmed closing with Velcro or a drawstring design that seals tightly the sand bulk bag and prevents the sand within from spilling and sifting away. Most super sacks come with a fabric dust flap or a collar that gives dust-free filling.
Load bearing & durability
Super sacks can carry some loads between 1000-2000 pounds safely, making them ideal for heavyweight materials like sand. Besides that, UV protection from the sun's rays is included for outdoor storage, and seams come with reinforced double stitching that elongates super sacks' use and resilience around difficult conditions.
Environmental consideration
Super sandbags manufactured using woven polypropylene are recyclable, which reduces the impact on the environment. It is also possible to use super sacks aware of ecological balance and provide users with an easier way to manage bulky and heavy materials.
Filling the bag
Position the empty super sack next to the sand pile or loading area. Use a front-end loader, excavator, or other equipment with a scoop to gather sand and place it within super sack until filled. Ensure the bag isn't overloaded or has too much sand in it.
Sealing the bag
After filling, fold the top down and use the Velcro closure to seal the sand inside. Some may use tie ropes or fabric closures. Ensure the bag is tightly closed to prevent sand from spilling out during transport.
Lifting the bag
Use a forklift or hoist to carefully lift the filled bags by their four corner loops. Make sure the weight is even balanced as the bag is lifted off the ground.
Transportation
Stack multiple super sacks on a flatbed truck or in a cargo container for transport. Secure the bags with straps or tarps to keep them from shifting during the journey. A small number of bags may fit inside a standard freight van to reduce handling at another location.
Store properly away from moisture and sharp objects
Avoid stack or store super sacks for sand beyond reasonable height of 2-3 units to prevent tipping or crushing. Unload bags' weight and pressure as instructed and store in dry, shaded areas away from direct sunlight, rain, or extreme heat that can weaken fabric. Make sure there are no sharp equipment, tools, or other materials within super sack proximity that are likely to puncture or damage their exterior.
Do not overload or exceed weight capacity
Ensure that super sacks for sand are never filled or overloaded with more than an indicated weight limit. Enhanced strain on the bag and stitching can result from overloading, potentially leading to tearing or bag rupturing. When lifting or moved around, follow proper safety protocols and suggestions to avoid accidents or injuries.
Check regularly for signs of wear
Adequately inspect the super sandbags frequently for any appearance of wear-out or damage like tearing fabric or fraying seams. If notice any major wear-out, super sacks shouldn't be used again for carrying load but rather thrown out. Small punctures or similar wear can be helped by patching or mending bags as best necessary but performing a patch may lower its strength.
Cleansing and maintenance
Wash remaining sand, dust, or other particles on super sacks after using them; this will help avoid details of the bag from being compromised when exposed to the material carried. Use water and a soft brush to clean without intensive scrubbing that may damage the fabric. Do not use bleach or strong chemicals that may weaken the material over time. Proper cleaning and care will increase the life of these sacks.
Repairs when needed
Act quickly when super sandbags have minor damages, such as small holes or frayed seams, and repair them using proper patches designed for the type of fabric or repair glue intended for use with woven polypropylene. Depending on the damage, professional services can also be employed for sewing/sanding back together when they're commercial grade and propensity to hold heavy loads.
