FLEXIBAG for transportation of bulk cargo

FLEXIBAG also called FLEXITANK as an opportunity and means for transportation of your bulk non-hazardous cargoes from any point and worldwide.

# What is FLEXITANK?
FLEXITANK is special equipment for transportation bulk non-hazardous cargoes, using the standard 20-foot sea or railway container.
FLEXITANK is a special, soft and tight tank with volume from 14 up to 24 thousand liters.
FLEXITANK is produced from plastic material. In combined condition it occupies just 0,25 cubic meter.

# How it works?
FLEXITANK should be installed in 20-foot container which can be provided by shipping container company or you can use your own container. Installation of FLEXITANK takes 20-30 minutes. Then container will be ready to load your cargo. Installation of FLEXITANK can be made both on the container terminal, and in a place of loading. After installation you will just need to connect your connecting device to FLEXITANK. Using the pump you can start loading. Loading takes 20-40 minutes depending on type of a cargo and the pump. After loading is finished the container with FLEXITANK and with your cargo is ready to travel. The container can be transported by road, railway or sea. The container with your cargo can be delivered to any point worldwide. In place of destination you or your partners can unload a cargo quickly and without any losses. For this you will need just the pump. After unloading is finished, FLEXITANK can be utilized, as it is disposable.

# What it is possible to transport?
In FLEXITANK it is possible to transport almost any of non-hazardous liquids, both technical, and food application. Here is incomplete list of products which can be transported in FLEXITANK: Foodstuff: food, edible and animal oils and fats (liquid and solid), juices concentrates, juices, syrups, water, wine, treacle, food additives, pharmaceutical oils, malt, sorbitol.
Technical stuff: technical and industrial oils, technical additives, synthetic pitches, liquid cleaning means, emulsions, glycerin, some kinds of paints, ink, fertilizers, latex, transformer oils etc.
Some liquids have properties to get thick during storage or at downturn of temperature. This will not allow to make effective unloading of a cargo. For this purpose we use heating pad which is installed together with FLEXITANK. It is used just before start of unloading using steam or hot water inside. This allows to increase temperature of a cargo.

# Advantages.
FLEXITANK is an alternative to such standard transportations as tank-containers, railway or road tanks, drums and other way of transportation.
Basic advantages of FLEXITANK:

  • You will significantly reduce expenses for transportation. In comparison with tank-container you will pay just for one way freight of the 20-foot container.
  • You use FLEXITANK as packaging for the cargo. In comparison with cost of drums or other capacities you save not less than 30-40 %.
  • You save up to 90 % of time for loading and unloading of the cargo.
  • No need to clean FLEXITANK after transportation as it is disposable.
  • You reduce losses of a cargo during unloading. As comparison – losses during unloading from FLEXITANK are 0.1 %, when during unloading from drums losses are 1 %.
  • You will increase volume of a cargo for transportation. In comparison with the standard packaging as drums and canisters – volume can be increased up to 30 %.
  • The cargo is delivered «door to door» without intermediate overloads.

FLEXITANKS are used worldwide for a long time. Their design features and suitability for transportations were deeply checked by the competent organizations. There is a strong multisteps quality control during manufacturing of FLEXITANK. Each FLEXITANK is tested «for break» with 8 multiple overload. Each FLEXITANK has its own unique identification number. This provides guarantees the responsibility of the manufacturer.
