Cleaning
Professional Cleaning of IBC Packaging for Maximum Product Safety
Throughout the lifecycle of Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) and packaging, thorough cleaning is essential. At CONTEK, we not only address the technical requirements and specific characteristics of the containers but also consider the unique properties of the products they hold to ensure optimal cleaning results.
For nearly 30 years, we have been an independent and agile partner in container cleaning, offering unparalleled expertise and tailored methods. Our services include various cleaning techniques, such as potable water, caustic soda, and solvent cleaning, each carefully matched to the product’s requirements. Additionally, we apply proven methods to objectively test and verify cleanliness.
At our facility in Ellrich, we operate dedicated cleaning systems with a particular focus on paints and coatings, where solvent cleaning is a speciality. Our certified processes guarantee not only thorough cleaning but also a silicone-free and surface-safe finish.
With a Europe-wide network of partner facilities, we also offer cleaning solutions for other product categories, including chemicals, food, and pharmaceuticals. We are happy to provide you with a bespoke solution—please feel free to get in touch with us at any time!
Inspection & Testing
Professional Inspection and Testing for Hazardous Goods Containers in Compliance with ADR Regulations
In accordance with the legal requirements outlined in ADR 6.5.4.4 (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road), containers approved for hazardous goods must undergo inspection by an accredited testing facility every 2.5 years. As an authorised inspection body I & II for metallic intermediate bulk containers (IBC) under ADR types 11A, 31A, and 21A, CONTEK conducts these inspections both at our testing centre and directly at your premises.
We perform inspections as specified in ADR 6.5.4.4.1 b) and 6.5.4.4.2 b), RID, and IMDG Code standards for the approved types of IBCs listed in our certification. As a government-recognised inspection body, we are qualified to carry out these procedures in compliance with the highest safety and quality standards.
Unlike other inspection providers, we handle the process independently, eliminating the need for your on-site personnel. Additionally, we address any necessary maintenance or repairs during the inspection, minimising the risk of non-compliance.
The regular use of these durable packaging solutions also requires meticulous maintenance. Entrusting this responsibility to a skilled and certified partner ensures your hazardous goods containers remain secure and operational at all times.
With decades of experience, we are experts in all container types, including older models, spare parts, and certifications. As an accredited manufacturer, we are authorised to perform extensive repairs, ensuring maximum safety and extending the lifespan of your IBCs.
