At Challenger Handling, we have designed a range of IBC reconditioning systems to suit a variety of needs. All our equipment is manufacturer, installed, and maintained by our team in Hull.
Our specially designed reconditioning systems offer a cost-effective solution for managing the continued use of IBC containers. This range of systems will extend the lifecycle of containers, reducing waste and enabling them to reliably fulfill their role in the transportation and storage of various materials, including chemicals, fuels, lubricants, and more.
Our range has been created to wash, dry, unload, and agitate IBC containers, promoting sustainable manufacturing and distribution practices. Challenger’s equipment can be installed as is or integrated into a wider service system.

The Automatic IBC Drying machine is designed to be loaded from one end before automatically transferring IBCs between each processing station. The pneumatic walking beam system provides the automatic transfer of IBCs. The movement will only take place once an IBC is position, and a container is discharged at each transfer point. The system operates from the control panel supplied with the facility to amend process time as required. A variable pneumatic timer is incorporated to control the dwell time at the five drying stages, with up to five minutes delay, ensuring optimum drying results. When this timer is up, an air operated alarm will sound briefly. A galvanised steel manifold directs hot air to each of the air nozzles. Additional line options include:
The Challenger Automatic IBC Wash System is designed to wash, drain and rinse used IBC containers internally and externally. Our walking beam conveyor system ensures precise container alignment at all of the treatment stations. The system is built up from 5 modular sections which can be easily expanded to incorporate additional equipment in the future.
IBC mixers are ideal solutions for products that need to be agitated before use in order to obtain homogeneous consistency, particularly for liquids prone to phase separation. These mixers are designed for IBC containers with 1,000 litres nominal capacity and ≥Dn150 filling openings. Used for agitating, homogenizing and dissolving. ATEX certification is available on request.
The Challenger Drumtech IBC Reprocessing Line is designed to wash, rinse and dry used IBC containers for reuse as a usable package. Generally the containers are transferred between stations by hand. This system features 8 stages which are outlined in the Line Specification Brochure.
The IBC Unloading Station has been designed for central supply of production machinery with liquids, delivered in Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC). Basic Applications include unloading liquids delivered in IBC units, storage under controlled conditions, and transferring liquids to production machinery. The system features:
