Advantages of using container flexitank to transport liquids
Date:2025.02.27 Number:LET-NEW-207
Container flexitanks (Flexitank) have the following significant advantages in transporting liquids:
1 High cost-effectiveness: Compared with traditional barreled or canned transportation, flexitanks have lower procurement and use costs. It can be used once, reducing cleaning and maintenance costs, while avoiding the logistics costs of returning empty tanks.
2 High space utilization: flexitanks can make full use of the internal space of standard containers and can usually load 20,000 to 24,000 liters of liquid, which is about 40% more than barrels. This means higher transportation efficiency and lower per-unit transportation costs.
3 Easy to operate: The installation and loading and unloading process of flexitanks is relatively simple. You only need to lay the flexitank in the container and connect the pipeline to complete the loading and unloading, which reduces the time and complexity of manual operation.
4 Wide range of application: flexitanks are suitable for transporting a variety of non-hazardous liquids, such as food-grade liquids (wine, edible oil, juice, etc.) and industrial liquids (lubricants, chemical raw materials, etc.), and the materials usually meet international food safety and environmental standards.
5 Reduced risk of contamination: flexitanks are disposable, reducing the possibility of cross-contamination, especially in food transportation to ensure hygiene and safety.
6 Environmental protection: Compared with rigid containers, flexitanks are light in weight, take up less space after being discarded, and some of their materials can be recycled, reducing the carbon footprint during transportation.
In general, container flexitanks provide an economical, efficient and flexible solution for liquid transportation, especially for long-distance transportation of bulk liquid goods.
