Exploring the Benefits of Liquid Transport Tanks in Modern Logistics

Image
Transporting bulk liquids across vast distances has always posed significant challenges, primarily due to the need for specialized containers that can handle large volumes while ensuring safety and efficiency. Traditionally, industries relied on standard methods like drums, ISO tanks, or IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers) for liquid transportation. However, a game-changing solution has emerged over the past few decades: Flexitanks, liquid transport tanks. What are Flexitanks? Flexitanks are large, liquid transport tanks (flexible containers) made from multiple layers of polyethylene and an outer covering of woven polypropylene. They are designed to fit inside standard 20-foot shipping containers, converting them into efficient bulk liquid transportation units. Capable of holding between 16,000 to 24,000 liters of liquid, flexitanks are quickly becoming the preferred choice for many industries, including food, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

 How Flexitanks Optimize Olive Oil Transportation

Image
  For centuries, the world has been enamored with olive oil, a staple in kitchens and a cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine. This "liquid gold," as it's often called, embodies quality and tradition.

Flexitanks, on the other hand, are revolutionizing the way olive oil travels, offering a more efficient and cost-effective solution. Understanding Olive Oil's Delicate Nature Olive oil is a sensitive product. Its quality can be affected by temperature, light exposure, and the container it's stored in. Here's what to keep in mind: Temperature: Olive oil starts to solidify around 5°C (41°F), making it difficult to pump. Ideally, it should be maintained between 15°C (59°F) and 20°C (68°F) d...
