Piston Freight Logistics offers advanced flexitank solutions for the efficient and cost-effective transportation of non-hazardous bulk liquids. A flexitank is a specialized bladder system designed to fit inside a standard 20-foot shipping container or truck, transforming it into a safe, single-use bulk liquid transport unit.

While ISO tanks and drums have long been used for liquid shipments, they involve significant costs for purchase, cleaning, recycling, and maintenance. Additionally, these traditional methods place a burden on environmental resources. Flexitanks have emerged as an economical, environmentally friendly alternative, increasingly preferred worldwide for non-hazardous liquid shipping.

Capacity & Versatility

Flexitanks enable the transportation of quantities ranging from 1,000 to 24,000 liters. They are suitable for a wide range of industrial and food-grade liquids, including:

• White oils, palm oil, ricin oleic acid, transformer oils, edible oils, lactic acid, vegetable oils

• Additives, drinking water, waxes, aluminum chlorhydroxide, fruit concentrates, detergents, sweeteners

• Emulsions, malt extract, glycerol, natural and synthetic latex, lubricants, musts, paraffin, polyols

• Non-hazardous chemicals, sorbitol, printing inks, wines, pharmaceuticals, cleaning liquids, fertilizers, inks, and more.

Key Advantages of Flexitank Transport:

• Product Dedicated: Each flexitank is single-use, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination.

• Cost-Effective Positioning: In some areas, up to 100 empty flexitanks can be positioned for the cost of a single ISO tank container.

• Higher Payloads: Compared to traditional packaging, flexitanks can load:

  • ~40% more cargo than drums

  • ~50% more than bottled consignments

  • ~15% more than intermediate bulk containers (IBCs)

• Time Savings: Up to 90% faster loading and unloading compared to drums and IBCs.

• Simplified Logistics: Disposable after use, eliminating cleaning requirements.

• Door-to-Door Delivery: Direct delivery without the need for intermediate handling or return loads.

• Higher Loading Rates: Faster and more efficient operations compared to drums and IBCs.

With flexitank technology, Piston Freight Logistics ensures efficient, secure, and environmentally conscious bulk liquid transportation for a wide range of industries.
