Flexible bulk liquid packaging

20ft Container Flexitank Solutions

Essencia provides advanced Flexitank solutions as part of our complete liquid packaging portfolio—for compatible non-hazardous cargo from 16,000 to 24,000 L.

Efficient bulk transport

Convert a standard 20ft container into a liquid transport system

The Flexitank, valve, bulkhead, liner, restraint components and container work as one system. Selection begins with the cargo and route—not capacity alone.

Typical cargo candidates

Edible oils, syrups, molasses, juices, wine, glycerin and selected non-regulated industrial liquids.

Configuration options

Valve and accessory configuration, heating pad, thermal liner, oxygen-barrier layer and venting may be evaluated by project.

System architecture

Every component works as part of one transport system

The liner, valves, protection materials, bulkhead, restraint bars and container must be reviewed together for the cargo and route.

Installation context

Container condition is part of packaging safety

The dry container must be clean, dry, structurally suitable and free from sharp edges or protrusions. The approved installation, filling and discharge procedure must be followed for the selected Flexitank system.

Valve configuration

3-inch PP ball or butterfly valves are available as reference options. Confirm connections against the loading and discharge equipment.

Cargo acceptance

Compatibility review is mandatory

Final acceptance is based on the cargo name, SDS, density, viscosity, loading temperature, planned volume and mass, route, container and carrier requirements.

Technical answers

Frequently asked questions

What liquids can be transported in an Essencia Flexitank solution?

Flexitanks are intended only for compatible, non-hazardous liquids. Typical candidates include edible oils, syrups, molasses, juices, wine, glycerin and selected non-regulated industrial liquids. Final acceptance requires cargo and route review.

Is 24,000 L suitable for every cargo?

No. Usable capacity depends on cargo density, planned cargo mass, container rating, route, carrier requirements, temperature and the approved loading range of the selected Flexitank design.

What information is required for a Flexitank review?

Provide the cargo name, SDS, density, viscosity, loading temperature, planned volume and mass, origin, destination, transport mode and any food-contact, heating, insulation or oxygen-barrier requirements.

Can a Flexitank be used for dangerous goods?

No. The solution presented here is not dangerous-goods packaging and must not be used for regulated hazardous cargo.
