Why You Should Use Flexitanks for Bulk Liquid Shipping

In today’s fast-paced world, there’s an increased demand for cost-effective bulk liquid transportation solutions. When it comes to the bulk liquid industry, we recognize the need for safety and efficiency while transporting precious cargo. After all, we know that the logistics revolving around bulk liquids can be challenging because of the limitations and elevated costs related to conventional methods, for instance, IBCs, drums, or ISO tanks.

It’s important to note that bulk liquid transport demands specialized equipment, careful handling, and considerable planning to ensure the safe arrival of cargo without damage. That’s where flexitanks come in to facilitate bulk liquid shipping. Here’s why you should consider these collapsible bags for transportation.

What Are Flexibags?

A flexibag describes a bulk liquid container that serves as a shipping container. Also called flexibles, these containers can convert traditional shipping containers from dry cargo carriers to efficient transport containers for bulk liquids.

These huge flexible containers are meant for transporting non-hazardous liquids by converting a traditional 20 ft. shipping container into an efficient and safe container for bulk liquid transportation. These bags comprise polyethylene film and can accommodate up to 24,000 liters of liquid cargo. We recommend them for their versatility and ability to transport a broad range of non-hazardous liquids.

We find that they’re commonly used to transport food additives, heating oil, and other bulk liquids. Subsequently, they’re ideal for various industries that depend on bulk liquid transport, for instance, the pharmaceutical, food, and beverage sectors.

Benefits of Flexitanks

Bigger Quantities than Barrels and IBCs

Unlike IBCs and drums, we value the fact that flexitanks enable easy filling at once. You don’t have to fill up numerous containers and load them onto a truck. With flexibags, you need to fill them once they’re inside the shipping container for practical purposes.

You can rely on our flexitanks to accommodate huge quantities of products in a go. On average, flexitanks can accommodate 24,000 liters while barrels can accommodate 207 liters, making flexibags more convenient.

Economic Viability

We recommend flexibags because they’re economically viable. That is, they allow you to maximize economies of scale, including decreased carbon footprints, cost savings, and logistical benefits. Furthermore, they don’t need a forklift to unload and load, which decreases labor expenses. With our flexitanks, you can save on logistics because they can transport vast quantities, making them cost-effective.

Easy Use

Besides versatility, we appreciate that flexitanks enable easy use and fast setup. Unlike conventional shipping techniques, there’s no need to clean these bags, thus eradicating the need for IBCs, drums, and costly tankers. Also, we find they’re suitable for edible liquids, for instance, fruit juices as well as non-hazardous liquids, for instance, paints, fertilizers, and lubricant oils. Their ease of use implies that personnel can load, fill, and unload liquid cargo fast and without extra equipment like pallets or spill trays, which are commonly needed with drums, barrels, and IBCs.

Ecofriendliness

We recommend flexitanks for being eco-friendly and sustainable. You find that you can recycle them once you use them for bulk liquid transport. This way, we’re confident that we don’t have to worry about cross-contamination during product deliveries. You can rely on our flexitanks to provide excellent performance, giving our clients peace of mind when their products are in transit.

Furthermore, polyethylene can be reprocessed to produce new items. By using these flexible bags, you invest in an innovative technology that allows you to offset your carbon footprint and become environmentally conscious.

They Maintain the Appropriate Temperatures

Flexitanks are designed to maintain the quality and freshness of liquid products such as orange juice because they’re insulated. This way, we’re confident they can help regulate temperature variations while your food product is in transit. By decreasing temperature fluctuations, the shelf life of your product is enhanced. More so, flexitanks help maintain products in the best possible condition while in transit.

They Ensure Safety

Our flexibags are designed to avoid spills, leaks, and to offer a secure and safe transport solution for liquid cargo. Manufactured from sturdy polyethylene, flexitanks have burst strength, allowing them to tolerate pressure changes throughout transport. This way, they ensure your liquid cargo is secure and safe. Moreover, they comprise a valve that permits safe and easy discharging and filling of liquid cargo.

Money Savings

When it comes to using flexitanks for bulk liquid transport, you’ll discover the containers are one-use-only. This makes them ideal for food items such as orange juice. In the long run, these collapsible bags help you save money and give you peace of mind knowing that your food product is safe and clean for consumption. Furthermore, you don’t have to spend extra money on cleaning and finding storage space because they undergo immediate recycling once emptied.

Choosing a Suitable Container for Your Flexitank

To ensure hassle-free, safe, and damage-free flexibag transportation, we recommend you choose a suitable container. We recognize there’s the need to choose a container that meets the set industry standards. Also, we recommend you consider these factors when choosing a suitable container for your flexitank.

The container’s floor

This plays a major role in making sure your flexibag arrives at the anticipated destination.

Panel corrugation

You want to avoid containers whose decal panels are flat. Instead, the panels should be corrugated along their length to ensure secure and safe cargo transportation.

If you’re seeking reliable, space-saving solutions to facilitate bulk liquid transportation, we recommend flexitanks, which not only offer a cost-efficient means of transporting a broad range of products, for instance, bulk oils but also provide numerous benefits such as environmental friendliness.
