A flexitank is a tool for transporting bulk, safe, bulk, liquid food cargo, such as oil, household chemicals, etc. This is a disposable container that can be transported by sea, rail, and road transport. It fits perfectly into regular 20 and 40 foot containers.

Transportation of liquid cargo, such as sunflower oil, has become more convenient since the advent of flexitanks, which meets the needs of enterprises. The flexitank is delivered to the production facility, where it is loaded. The buyer receives the goods in the same container, sealed by the manufacturer.

What is it

This is a flexible polymer elastic container. Volume – from 10 to 28 thousand liters.

The container has an outer and inner shell:

  • Internal – three-layer polyethylene with barriers.
  • External – polypropylene, woven, wear-resistant.

Filling and rainfall occur using special fittings. The inlet valve can be at the top or bottom of the container. The air valve allows you to maintain normal pressure inside.

There is a bulkhead with the owners, which helps contain the movement of products during pitching.

The optimal temperature of the transported cargo is maintained using steam heating mats.

The containers are convenient to store when folded. They occupy only a quarter of a cubic meter.

Advantages of transportation in flexitanks

With the advent of flexitanks, transportation of oil in bulk became:

  • cheaper;
  • faster;
  • Save.

In addition, the geography of supplies has expanded, and delivery occurs from the manufacturer to the buyer without repacking. The quality of the product and its volume are maintained.

The flexitank allows you to maintain the purity of oil and other cargo during transportation, thanks to the tightness and novelty of the packaging. It also allows you to transport viscous liquid cargo at low temperatures. Products can be stored in packaging for some time without loss of quality.

All this allows us to reduce the cost of production, which increases its competitiveness.

Container for installing a flexitank

To transport sunflower oil and other liquid cargo in containers, it is necessary to comply with certain requirements for the latter. They must be free of cracks and other deformations and no more than 3 (three) years old.

How to install a flexitank correctly?

First you need to inspect the container, remove debris, and place corrugated paper.

Then the flexitank itself with internal partitions is installed.

At the third stage, the container is loaded/filled.

And finally, the container is closed and placed on transport.

If properly organized, the entire procedure takes no more than 1 hour, most of which involves loading the container.

For the convenience of transporting oil at low temperatures, it is possible to use steam heating mats. They allow you to maintain the viscosity of the product at a certain level, which will facilitate the process of draining from the flexitank. Cost reductions can be reused.
