What is a Flexitank
A flexitank is a flexible container made of strong materials and designed specifically for the transport of bulk liquids. It is inserted into a standard 20-foot container and can hold up to 24,000 litres of product. This solution is ideal for non-hazardous liquids such as vegetable oils and wines, non-hazardous chemicals, among others.
Advantages of Flexitank in the Transport of Industrial Liquids
1. Cost savings
The use of flexitanks allows for a significant reduction in transport costs compared to other traditional methods, such as drums or ISO tanks. By maximising the use of space within a container, the amount of product that can be transported in a single trip is increased.
2. Sustainability and waste reduction
Flexitanks are an environmentally friendly option as many of them are recyclable. In addition, by reducing the use of rigid or metal packaging, the carbon footprint and the amount of waste generated during transport is also reduced.
3. Logistical efficiency
Thanks to their ease of installation and handling, flexitanks allow for faster loading and unloading compared to traditional methods. This translates into greater operational efficiency and less waiting time in ports or warehouses.
4. Product safety and protection
Flexitanks are designed to protect transported liquids. Their materials are puncture resistant and minimise the risk of leakage. They are certified to meet international safety and quality standards.
Sectors Benefiting from the Use of Flexitank
Flexitank has become an essential tool for several industries, including:
- Food industry: Ideal for transporting vegetable oils, wines, juices and other liquid food products.
- Chemical industry: Used to move non-hazardous chemicals such as emulsions, lubricants and liquid detergents.
- Agricultural sector: Facilitates the export of liquid fertilisers and other liquid agricultural inputs.
Conclusion
Flexitank is an innovation that has arrived to transform industrial liquid transportation. Its ability to reduce costs, improve logistical efficiency and offer a more sustainable solution makes it an increasingly popular alternative for companies looking to optimise their supply chain.
