A flexitank is a bulk liquid container for use in a shipping container. Flexitanks, also known as ‘Flexibags’, are large flexible containers which transform the conventional shipping container from a dry goods carrier into a safe and efficient bulk liquid transport container. Flexitanks offer a superior alternative to ISO tank containers for shipping juices, oils, food-grade liquids and nonhazardous chemicals around the world.
1.Flexitanks Offer Larger Quantities than IBC’s & Barrels
1 FLEXITANK = 85 BARRELS
A Flexitank can hold much more product in one go. On average, they hold 24,000 litres – speeding up the loading process by filling only one tank, compared to a barrel which holds 207 litres, meaning you would need 85 barrels for only one flexitank!
Flexitanks allow you to take advantage of economies of scale when shipping your product – allowing for cost savings and a reduced carbon footprint with logistical advantages and are in most cases cheaper to operate.
In a recent interview with FreightWaves, CEO, Damien McClean cites the example of bulk wine shipping, “You’ll get 9,000 bottles of wine into a 20-foot container. In a flexitank, the 24,000 litres it holds, is the equivalent to around 30,000 bottles” adding that flexitanks also offer companies much more flexibility; citing an example of a winery that was shipping 60% red wine and 40% white wine. “A parcel tanker would have to be all red or all white,” he pointed out, emphasising the impact of economies of scale when using a flexitank for bulk liquid shipping.
Offset your carbon footprint when you use flexitanks to ship. Not only do flexitanks prove economically viable for companies, they are a more sustainable option for bulk shipping. Flexitanks offer a sustainable solution to bulk liquid shipping than that of alternative methods of transportation such as Drums and IBC totes. Our re-usable flexitank containers allow for zero waste in shipping – BLUE WHALE Flexitanks can be re-used and recycled.
The flexitank is easy to use and quick to connect hoses for loading and unloading, whilst making the maximum use of the container space.
