DEF IBC Totes

Diesel Exhaust Fluid IBC Tank Information

DEF IBC totes are intermediate bulk containers with a pump and nozzle transfer equipment built to meet ISO 22241-3 standards for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). They are engineered for the reusable storage, storage, and portable dispensing of DEF, also known as Aqueous Urea Solution (AUS 32). IBC Tanks provides DEF IBC tote transfer systems to suit applications with greater DEF volume needs in the transport, industrial, construction, and agricultural industries. We offer DEF tote systems in 135 gallons, 275 gallons, 300 gallons, and 330 gallons, and in 12V, 110V, and 120V voltages.

What is DEF?

DEF / AUS 32 is a non-toxic, non-hazardous, only slightly corrosive mixture of 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water used to break down pollutant nitrogen oxides generated during the combustion of diesel engine fuels as required by U.S. EPA regulations. IBC Tanks’ portable DEF tote transfer systems are fully compatible with DEF applications and suitable for long term storage and reuse.

Engineering of DEF IBC Totes

Diesel Exhaust Fluid totes are manufactured from food grade, virgin high density polyethylene (HDPE) resin, use ANSI/NSF 61 certified materials, and fabricated with UV sunlight stabilizers to make them suitable for outdoor use. They are blow molded from HDPE, producing a tank resistant to impact, puncture, and tearing. IBC DEF totes are protected and supported by a galvanized steel grid jacket. The steel cage resists rust and impact damage associated with normal operation and weather exposure.

These DEF IBCs are engineered for extended DEF storage while maintaining the solution’s strict purity requirements. They are designed to promote product stability and decrease crystallization issues associated with evaporation. The tote transfer pumps are designed to limit DEF pump cavitation and promote continuous filling during operation.

DEF/AUS 32 approved portable tote transfer systems are made for streamlined transport, maneuverability, storage, product filling, and dispensing. They are DOT/UN 31HA1/Y permitted and labeled for various transportation methods. Our DEF IBC totes feature 4 way, cross directional access channels for pallet jack and forklift mobility. Tank walls are translucent for easy sight level gauging.

DEF Transfer Tote Specifications

IBC Tanks offers DEF IBC tote caddy systems with RPV top suction systems. They are available in 135 gallon volume capacity. Available voltages include 12 volt with direct current (DC) motors and 110 volt models with alternating current (AC) motors.

DEF transfer caddy systems are installed with a 10 to 15 GPM high flow pump, discharge hose with measurements 3/4″ by 20′, and stainless steel dispensing nozzle. Automatic or manual shut off nozzle models are available. The tank’s top inflow cap is a 6″, bung vented lid and MicroMatic RPV valve. These totes feature a recessed 2″ ball valve drain with camlock coupler compatibility.

DEF IBC Caged Tote Specifications

Galvanized steel caged DEF IBC totes are available in 275 gallon and 330 gallon volume capacities. Pumps are available in 12V and 120V models. For DEF transfer, these tote systems feature a 6.5 minute auto shut off 1700 RPM, 9 GPM pump with automatic stainless steel nozzle. The nozzle provides extended reach with a 20′ discharge hose. The system is fed by a 4′ tank suction hose to promote full fluid use. The tanks have a 6″ threaded and vented top fill, and a 2″ male camlock compatible outlet valve. This DEF IBC tote transfer system has increased suction, fluid lift, and built-in features to promote reliable, continuous duty operation.
