The 16000L Flexitank for Sunflower Oil is a temperature-stable solution engineered to preserve the quality and nutritional properties of sunflower oil during long-distance transport. With a 16,000-liter capacity—optimized for 20-foot containers while leaving space for temperature control systems—and FDA-approved materials (virgin PE resin free from BPA and phthalates), it meets the strictest food safety standards for edible oils . Compared to traditional ISO tanks, it offers 40% cost savings by eliminating cleaning fees and reducing transport weight by 30%. Its specialized anti-oxidation design—incorporating oxygen-barrier technology—prevents rancidity, ensuring sunflower oil retains its natural flavor, color, and nutritional value (including vitamin E content) throughout transit .
Triple-Layer Protection: Combines a 50μm inner PE film (direct food contact), a middle PP woven layer (2000D tensile strength for structural support), and an outer UV-resistant coating (30μm thickness) to prevent material degradation from light, moisture, and mechanical stress .
Railway-Tested Durability: Has passed CRCC (China Railway Corporation) and AAR (Association of American Railroads) rail impact tests, including 10G force simulations and vibration testing over 10,000 km of rail tracks, proving resilience to collisions and continuous vibrations during rail transport .
Hygienic Construction: Manufactured in FSSC 22000-certified facilities (food safety management standard), with a smooth interior surface (0.8μm finish) to prevent residue buildup and bacterial growth, ensuring easy cleaning and minimal product waste .
Temperature Control: Optional insulated jackets—featuring polyurethane foam insulation (R-value 5.0)—maintain optimal oil viscosity by regulating temperature in ambient climates ranging from -15°C (cold chain transport) to 40°C (tropical shipping routes) .
Retail & Export:
Supplies premium sunflower oil to supermarkets, health food stores, and private-label brands in Europe, Asia, and North America, where consumers prioritize natural and unadulterated edible oils.
Enables large-scale exports from major producers in Ukraine, Russia, and Argentina to high-demand markets, with documentation tailored to regional regulations (EU 10/2011, US FDA).
Biodiesel Production:
Supports sustainable energy initiatives by transporting used (cooking) sunflower oil to biodiesel refineries, with chemical-resistant properties to handle slightly acidic waste oils.
Foodservice:
Delivers bulk sunflower oil to restaurants, catering chains, and institutional kitchens (schools, hospitals) for frying, baking, and general cooking applications, ensuring consistent supply for high-volume operations.
Q: How does it prevent oxidation?
A: A hermetic heat seal (3mm width) and oxygen-barrier film technology reduce oxygen exposure by 99% compared to drum packaging, slowing the oxidation process that causes rancidity. This extends the oil’s shelf life by up to 6 months in transit.
Q: Can it be used for other oils?
A: Yes, it is compatible with most vegetable oils, but sunflower oil-specific certifications (e.g., Kosher, Halal) may vary by product type. Contact our team to confirm certification alignment for your specific oil.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: Standard configurations (with standard valves and no customization) ship in 7-10 days from order confirmation. Custom designs (including branded outer layers, specialized valves, or custom certifications) require 14-21 days to produce, with rush options available for urgent requirements.
