Flexitank

A flexitank is a polyethylene container designed to fit within a standard ISO container and used for bulk liquid transportation. Manufactured to the highest standards from 4-layer food-grade polyethylene, flexitanks can withstand high pressure and temperature ranges as well as a number of chemical substances without any corrosion or degradation to the material.

The main structure is built from high-strength ultra-abrasion resistant polypropylene woven cloth, creating a secure storage area for non-hazardous liquids including water, biofuel, petroleum, fruit juice, farm oils, and much more.
The flexitank cover is designed to reduce the risk of length-wise ruptures, with a food-grade butterfly valve incorporated within a containment area that prevents seepage or small spillages.

In addition, our flexitanks have been fully tested and passed quality control checks. This means that our reputation is enhanced by the quality of our flexitanks, and you can be certain that they will meet and exceed your expectations for safe and simple liquid transportation.

Our flexitanks are easy to install and use, and they bring multiple advantages to your business. Designed to be used within a standard 20ft ISO container, our flexitanks adhere to the most stringent standards within the industry.

The flexitanks we provide are manufactured in compliance with FSSC 22000, an ISO-based internationally accepted food safety certification scheme. This means that you can be certain that your bulk liquid transportation task will be completed safely.
Flexitanks can be used for storing liquids in confined spaces such as factories or warehouses in the UAE, allowing simple preparation for national or international distribution.

Once ready, the process of transporting bulk liquid from one place to another is simplified as it is just a matter of loading the 20ft ISO container onto the appropriate vehicle. There are no other special requirements, and the flexitank will prevent any spills during transportation. Without flexitank, this can be an issue, as any spills liquid may reach sensitive areas of the transportation vehicle or potentially cause environmental issues with waterways or spillages in residential areas.

A forklift is not required for loading/unloading with flexitanks, and time is saved in comparison to loading or unloading drums, etc. Plus, there is no demurrage when using Flexitank, further saving the costs you may face with bulk liquid transportation.
Safety and usability are ensured by including an exhaust valve that allows any internal gas to be vented, and heating pads help speed up the discharge of crystallised liquids. Each part of the flexitank has been designed with the end-user in mind, as we wish to provide the maximum benefit level to every business.

When using flexitank solutions, there is no possibility of cross-contamination, and flexitanks are not susceptible to corrosion. Choosing a flexitank is the right option for bulk liquid transportation in the UAE.

Flexitanks are 100% environment-friendly and do not leak liquids. While many liquids can be considered non-hazardous, spillages can cause many issues for the local community and environment – the best way to solve this is to prevent spills in the first instance.

Flexitanks have no moving parts that could wear down or break with time, ensuring safety and integrity are maintained throughout the lifetime of the tank. It is of paramount importance that liquids are safely transported over both short and long distances, and our commitment to protecting the environment extends to the international use of our flexitanks.

Flexitanks have proved to be a problem-solving solution for some of the most challenging issues faced by bulk liquid transportation companies, and keeping environmental impact to a minimum is one such issue that flexitanks solve. Manufactured from polyethylene, the material itself has a minimal environmental impact. It is safe to handle and only causes issues if discarded without thought – however, polyethylene can be recycled, which means there is no need for disposal in any other manner.

The Stainless Steel Flange design is mechanically fitted to the Flexitank and guarantees replication of fitting compared to welded systems. The specially designed bonnet provides a clean and secure containment area around the valve and prevents incidents of seepage or small spillages that might result from filing or discharge. 

•       4 layer food-grade polyethylene, each layer is 0.125mm thick and translucent
•       high-strength ultra-abrasion resistant polypropylene woven cloth
•       2 inches or 3 inches food-grade butterfly valve
