Benefits of Using a Flexibag/Flexi-Tank for Liquid Transport
In today’s world, the demand for efficient and cost-effective bulk liquid transport options has increased vastly. Transport providers must ensure efficiency and safety while carrying precious cargo. Bulk liquid logistics can be a challenging task due to the limitations and high costs associated with traditional methods such as drums, IBCs, or ISO tanks. However, Flexibags, also known as ‘Flexitanks’ are single-use, large-capacity, flexible tanks that are ideal for transporting bulk liquids such as oils, fruit juice, and other edible and non-edible liquids.
As someone who works in logistics, or with bulk liquids, you know that transporting liquid cargo can be challenging. It requires careful handling, specialized equipment, and a lot of planning to ensure that the cargo arrives at its destination safely and without any damage. That’s why it’s essential to use the right equipment, such as a flexibag, to transport your liquid cargo.
If you are looking for dependable, space-saving solutions to transport large amounts of liquid cargo, consider flexitanks—bags that can be inserted directly into shipping containers. They not only provide an efficient and cost-effective way to transport a wide range of products such as bulk chemicals and oils, but they also have numerous additional advantages such as environmental friendliness and safety.
What is a Flexibag in Liquid Transport?
A Flexibag, also known as a ‘Flexitank’, is a large, flexible container designed to transport non-hazardous liquids by transforming a conventional 20-foot shipping container into a safe and efficient bulk liquid transport container. Flexibags are made out of a new polyethylene film and can hold up to 24,000 litres of liquid cargo.
Liquids That Flexibags/Flexi-Tanks Can Transport
Flexibags/Flexi-Tanks are versatile and can be used to transport a wide range of non-hazardous liquids. They are commonly used for transporting food additives, diesel, heating oil, liquefied petroleum gas, and other bulk liquids. Flexibags are ideal for various industries that rely on bulk liquid transport, such as the food and beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical sectors. They are appropriate for both hazardous and non-hazardous liquids, offering flexibility in transportation options.

5 Benefits of Using a Flexibag
1. Easy to Use
Flexibags are versatile and easy to use and can be set up quickly. Unlike traditional shipping methods, there is no need for cleaning the flexibag, eliminating the need for drums, IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers), and expensive tankers. They are appropriate for both edible liquids such as oils and fruit juices and non-hazardous liquids such as lubricant oils, paints, and fertilizers. Their ease of use means that workers can fill, load, and unload liquid cargo quickly and without additional equipment like forklifts and pallets, or spill trays commonly used with barrels, drums, and IBCs.
2. Increased Load Capacity
A flexibag can hold up to 24,000 litres of liquid cargo, allowing you to transport much more product per container load. This increased load capacity translates into fewer container movements, reduced transportation costs, and less environmental impact. For example, one 24,000-liter Flexibag is equivalent to 85 barrels! Given that one barrel typically holds 207 liters, this impressive load capacity increases your payload and results in a more efficient transport process.
3. Cost-Effective Bulk Transportation
Using a flexibag for bulk liquid transportation is a cost-effective solution compared to other methods. It eliminates the need for expensive Isotank containers and reduces the labour costs associated with filling and cleaning Isotanks, drums, barrels, and IBCs. Additionally, using Flexibags can reduce transportation costs by up to 30% due to their larger capacity, offering a reduced cost per litre of liquid shipped compared to alternative methods. They are also cheaper to store and transport when empty, being lightweight and space-efficient. As Flexibags are disposable, there are no cleaning or maintenance costs involved.
4. Safe and Secure Cargo
Flexibags are designed to prevent leaks and spills, providing a safe and secure transport solution for your liquid cargo. Made from durable polyethylene, Flexibags have a high burst strength, meaning they can withstand pressure changes during transport, ensuring the liquid cargo remains secure. All Flexibags meet necessary health and safety standards and are approved for the transport of food-grade liquids and other non-hazardous liquids. They also feature a valve for easy and safe filling and discharging of the liquid cargo.
5. Low Carbon Footprint
Made from recyclable polyethylene film, Flexibags are environmentally friendly. They are a more sustainable alternative to traditional tank containers, which can be more difficult to transport and manufacture. Their lightweight and space-efficient design, combined with their high load capacity, reduces the amount of energy needed for transportation, ultimately reducing waste and carbon emissions. This contributes to a lower overall carbon footprint for your transportation operation.
