INTRODUCTION 

 

The 

GrainPro®  Cocoon™  Cargo

  is  designed  to  address  the  growing  market  demand  of  transporting 

agricultural commodities in Big Bags (officially known as Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container or FIBC; 
also  called  “tote  bags”  in  the  USA).  Very  often,  commodities  are  infested  before  loading  into  the 
container or are found to be infested upon arrival at destination ports even if they were fumigated with 
phosphine prior to loading into containers. 
 
Twenty  (20)  bags  of  700-1000  kg  or  10  bags  of  1000-1500  kg  fit  in  a  standard  20-foot  shipping 
container.  GrainPro  developed  a  Cocoon  with  the  same  capacity  as  a  20-foot  container  that  can 
accommodate  20  small  or  10  large  Big  Bags.  The  Cocoon  Cargo  zipper  is  located  near  the  ground  to 
facilitate  handling  bulk  with  forklifts.  A  sturdier  and  more  durable  1250  g/m

2

  PVC  allows  for  outdoor 

storage  which  can  handle  extreme  pressure.  The  Cocoon  Cargo  is  equipped  with  a  CO

2

  or  phosphine 

treatment port and an air outlet port, which makes it ideal for fumigation.
