Flexitank is a flexible container with the volume from 14 to 24 000 Lt, that is used for transportation and storage of liquid, food, bulk and liquid industrial types of loads which are not dangerous. Material of flexitank doesn't contact with the load even during long transportation and at high temperatures. It can be used only once – it should be utilized after unloading.
Structural features
Structure of covering includes several layers. Outer covering consists of laminated polypropylene fabric and inner one includes 1-3 layers of polyethylene film and metalized barrier layer. Also construction includes draining/pouring armature and air pipe that are placed inside pressure shell.
Oparation principles
Flexitank is fixed in a standard 20-foot container. On average this process takes about 15 minutes. When the installation is complete, supply hose should be attached and electric pump is launched for supply of liquid. About half and hour later, when loading is finished, container will be ready for transportation. Flexitanks have all necessary equipment that is necessary for transportation of different load types. A wide range of adapters and nozzles let load and unload almost every equipment. If the load needs a heating before unloading, it's easy to make it with the help of steam and electricity. Besides, before unloading one can make a special protective layer that will protect a load from an extreme temperature changes during transportation.
