What is Flexi Tank?

Flexi tank is a bag for liquid transport up to 24 tons in 20 and 40 foot containers.
The standard Flexies are made of polyethylene and polypropylene. Their capacity could be between 16000 liters to 24000 liters.

 What kind of materials are transportable in Flexi tanks?

• The natural and synthetic or compound liquid latexes.
• Alcohols
• Printing ink
• Edible and inedible oils.
• Saline solutions
• Silicates (A silicate is a compound containing an anionic silicon compound. The great majority of the silicates are oxides, but hex fluorosilicate and other anions are also included)
• Silicones (the chemical element of atomic number 14, a non-metal with semiconducting properties, used in making electronic circuits. Pure silicon exists in a shiny dark grey crystalline form and as an amorphous powder.)
• Resin and colors
• Oily fatty acids
• Water
• Foods, soda pops
• Juices, concentrates and extracts.
• All sorts of liquids, petro chemistry materials and food products.

 Why Flexi Tank?
1. Saving in transportation costs up to 40%.
2. Less effort for better and more regular delivery.
3. Storage location.
4. Easy installing and loading Flexi Tanks.
5.Elimination of cleaning costs.

 Advantages of Flexi Tanks

1. Decrease in costs, mistakes and damages.
2. Ethylene polymers with high strength, endurance, life time and security.
3. Materials used in Flexi Tanks have high energy absorption capacity and expansion.
4. Having loading content up to 24,000 Mts that is 35% more than carrying in a barrel (drum).
5. One-way shipping costs without cleaning costs and returning compared with tankers, preventing from pollution compared with tankers return.
6. Saving in holding, packing and managing costs.
7. low volume and weight, and easy transportation.
8. Including environmental standards, and the raw materials in it don’t generate any pollution in the environment, and being completely recyclable.
9. Suitable for ocean, railway and land (road) transportation.
10. Professional and equipped network all over the world.
11. Exact and effective quality control for each discharge and loading.

 Flexi Tank loading
1. Flexi tanks can be loaded from 10,000 to 28,000 MTS contents. The volume of loading depends on the density of the loaded liquid, and loaded weight shouldn’t be more than 24 Mts.
2. Maximum vehicle carrying capacity +5%
3. Minimum vehicle carrying capacity-10%
4. Maximum loading temperature up to 70 centigrade.
5. Minimum loading temperature up to 10 centigrade.
6. Including thermometer showing the inside temperature.
7. Including loading speed of 800 liters in a minute or 50 CBM in each hour.

 Flexi tank removing process
Recycling
Polyethylene is proved to be very proper and suitable for recycling. Polyethylene, a thermoplastic which can be melted and changed into another substance, has been recognized as one of the environmentally friendly materials.
Removing
Burning is the best method to remove. To do so, Flexi tanks should be delivered to licensable and allowed factories, or after drying Flexi tank thoroughly, discharge and loading valves of the flexi is separated and the Flexi tank should be disintegrated into small pieces (each piece’s length not more than 1 square meter) and at last these pieces would be delivered to allowed removing or recycling factories.
