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. move up
How it works?
FLEXITANK should be installed in 20-foot container which can be provided by our 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. move up

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 a list of products which can be transported in FLEXITANK (for a more complete list click here):

Foods : edible and animal oils and fats (liquid and solid), juices concentrates, juices, syrups, water, wine, treacle, food additives, pharmaceutical oils, malt, sorbitol.
Chemical : technical and industrial oils, technical additives, synthetic pitches, liquid cleaning means, emulsions, glycerine, some kinds of paints, ink, fertilizers, latex, transformer oils etc.
Some liquids have properties to reduce viscosity 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. move up

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

Guarantees.
FLEXITANKS are used worldwide for a long time. Their design features and suitability for transport were deeply checked by the competent organizations. There is a strong multi step 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 and improves traceability. move up
Tanks sizes and fittings.

Flexitank capacities are based on the SG (Specific Gravity) of the liquid to be carried, and the net payload desired. Most regular sizes used are 20,000 Litres and 24,000 Litres. Connection to the flexitank is generally achieved through a 2" Kamlock (50mm) valve directly mounted on the surface of the tank. Different connections can be fitted to order. move up
