Using Flexitanks for bulk liquid shipping is proving to be an incontestable alternative to IBC’s, ISO tanks and drums in lowering transportation costs of bulk liquid products.
In the past few years, Flexitank Containers have been adapted to a wide variety of bulk liquid products including edible oils, chemicals, water treatment products, biofuels and even PVC resins. Specially designed for transporting bulk edible oils, these flexitank containers are insulated tanks that allow the food oil product to be safely shipped.
Edible Oils such as palm oil, soya bean oil and canola oil need to be transported in containers that prevent egress while also providing the highest level of protection while in transit.
The obvious choice is a tank which provides this protection and is significantly less expensive than the more commonly used ISO tanks and Flexitanks offer lower transport costs than both the IBC and drums.
Liquids today are generally transported in high-density polyethylene IBCs, steel drums, flexible plastic drums or ISO tanks. In these cases, storage space is a big consideration of which using a flexitank alternative presents an space saving advantage.
Flexitanks offer a number of distinct advantages as a method of transporting bulk liquids such as:
Flexitank containers offer an incredible alternative to other bulk liquid shipping containers for the transportation of edible oils. With greater puncture resistance, along with longer stored life than other product packaging alternatives Flexitanks are the clear solution for edible oil transportation. Additionally, Flexitanks offer a cost-effective and reliable alternative. Because the shipments can be smaller and not tied to a particular vessel or shipping line, you can lower your financial risks.
