When New Is the Right Choice
For applications where product purity, regulatory compliance, or manufacturer warranty are non-negotiable, a new IBC tank is the best investment. Industries like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and specialty chemicals often require containers that have never been in contact with any other substance.
New IBC tanks also offer the advantage of custom configuration. You can specify the exact valve type, pallet material, lid design, and even bottle color at the time of order. This level of control is especially valuable for operations with standardized filling lines or automated dispensing systems.
At IBC Santa Ana, we maintain direct relationships with leading IBC manufacturers to offer competitive pricing and fast availability on all standard models. Our most popular HDPE composite tanks are typically in stock and ready for immediate pickup or delivery. Custom configurations and stainless steel models are available with short lead times through our manufacturing partners.

When Should You Buy New?
New IBC tanks are the right choice in specific scenarios where the benefits of virgin containers justify the higher cost.
Pharmaceutical and Biotech Manufacturing
cGMP regulations typically require virgin containers with full traceability. New stainless steel 316L IBCs meet the strictest purity and documentation requirements for drug manufacturing.
Food Products for Retail Distribution
While reconditioned food-grade tanks are FDA-compliant, some retail customers and auditors prefer virgin containers. New HDPE tanks eliminate any question about previous contents or cross-contamination.
Highly Sensitive Chemicals
For ultra-pure chemicals, semiconductors, or applications where even trace contamination could be problematic, new containers provide the highest level of cleanliness assurance.
Automated Filling Lines
New tanks have consistent, predictable dimensions and valve specifications, which is essential for automated filling equipment that has been calibrated to specific container parameters.
Customer or Brand Requirements
Some end customers require their suppliers to use new containers as part of their own quality standards. Having new IBC tanks demonstrates your commitment to quality throughout the supply chain.
Long-Term Fleet Investment
If you plan to reuse tanks many times over their full 5-10 year lifespan, starting with new containers maximizes the number of use cycles and total cost of ownership value.
Key Features of Our New Tanks
Every new IBC tank from IBC Santa Ana comes with these standard features and benefits.
UN/DOT Certified
All new HDPE composite tanks ship with UN 31HA1 certification for the transport of hazardous and non-hazardous liquids. DOT-compliant for road freight. This certification is essential for businesses that ship chemicals or regulated materials.
FDA Compliant
HDPE bottles are manufactured from FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 compliant virgin resin, making them safe for direct food contact without liners. This is the simplest path to FDA compliance for food and beverage manufacturers.
Stackable Design
New IBC tanks are rated for 2-high stacking when properly loaded. The steel cage and reinforced pallet distribute weight evenly for safe warehouse stacking. This doubles your effective storage capacity per square foot.
UV Stabilized
HDPE bottles include UV inhibitors to resist degradation from sunlight exposure. For long-term outdoor storage, opaque or black-tinted bottles are available on custom order to provide maximum UV protection.
Forklift Compatible
Standard 4-way pallet entry allows handling by forklift from any side. Compatible with standard 48x40 pallet racking systems. The universal footprint ensures compatibility with your existing warehouse infrastructure.
Customizable Valve Options
Choose from 2" or 3" butterfly valves, ball valves, camlock fittings, or tri-clamp connections depending on your dispensing needs. Custom valve configurations are available at order time.
Manufacturer Warranty
All new IBC tanks come with a manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty periods typically range from 1 to 3 years depending on the manufacturer and tank type.
Full Certifications Package
New tanks ship with complete documentation including UN/DOT certification, material compliance certificates, and test reports. This documentation package simplifies regulatory audits and compliance verification.
Consistent Quality
Every new IBC tank is manufactured to identical specifications, ensuring consistent dimensions, capacity, and performance across your entire fleet. This consistency is critical for automated filling and dispensing systems.

Standard Sizes We Stock
The two most popular IBC sizes are 275 gallons and 330 gallons. Both share the same 48" x 40" footprint, which means they fit standard pallet racking, truck beds, and shipping containers. The 330-gallon model is simply taller, giving you 20% more capacity in the same floor space.
We also stock and can order 120-gallon mini IBCs for smaller operations or tight spaces, as well as 550-gallon oversized tanks for high-volume applications. Our most common sizes are always in stock for immediate availability.
