Jumbo Bags can be a cost efficient alternative solution for liquid bitumen transport. Each 20 feet container can hold 20 Jumbo bags,
which means 20 MT bitumen could be loaded within a 20ft container. The jumbo bags
usually can be melted with the bitumen at discharge.
Because the jumbo bag is a flexible packaging, after fully loaded with liquid bitumen, it have to be laden on the ground to cool down the
bitumen inside, or to put the jumbo into frame cage to constrain the bitumen inside, that builds the warehousing
and packaging cost high for bitumen transport with container.
HTR Flexitank is a flexitank with a new heat-resistant material technology, it is specially designed for bulk liquid cargo with high filling
temperature e.g. liquid bitumen or non-hazardous chemicals with similar features.
Compared with general-purpose flexitank, LAF HTR Fexitank could withstand max. 120℃ filling temperature,
safe and durable for liquid bitumen or similar products transport.
HTR Flexitank Advantages for Liquid Bitumen
Increase Unit Container Load
Load 20% + More Bitumen per Each 20ft Container
Low Labor Operation Cost
Save Packaging and Storage Cost
HTR Flexitank is the most economic package for containerized liquid bitumen transport. Compared to drums and jumbo bags,
HTR Flexitank does not need any pallet, frame cage, saving packaging cost directly; and after fully loaded with liquid bitumen,
the HTR Flexitank could be transported after 24hrs cooling down, it does not need a peculiar yard or a warehouse to store and cool down.
Environmentally Friendly
At destination after bitumen discharge, all the materials could be collected, recycled for resin production or reused for other purpose.
This can help to reduce rigid waste originated from bitumen transport with drums.
A: A flexitank is a flexible, multi-layer liquid container installed inside a standard shipping container. It converts the container into a bulk liquid transportation unit and is commonly used to transport compatible non-hazardous liquids.
A: Flexitanks are commonly used for compatible non-hazardous liquids, including edible oils, wine, juice concentrates, syrups, base oils, lubricants, latex, polyols, bitumen and certain non-hazardous industrial chemicals. Suitability must be confirmed based on the cargo's chemical properties, viscosity, temperature, and material compatibility.
A: Yes. Specialized 40ft flexitanks can help customers make use of available 40ft container capacity for compatible bulk liquids. The appropriate solution depends on the container's specifications, cargo density, loading limits, and transportation conditions.
A: At LAF, we provide flexitank solutions for a wide range of compatible bulk liquid applications. Our portfolio includes food-grade and industrial flexitanks, specialized solutions for selected high-viscosity liquids, 40ft flexitanks, and railway transportation applications. We also support customers with product selection, technical guidance, and transportation-related service.
