As winter approaches, the shipping industry is preparing for the seasonal challenges that come with transporting oils in colder temperatures. A key trend in this area is the move from conventional flexitanks/flexibags to LiquA H-Flex flexitanks/flexibags.
The Challenges of Winter Shipping
Winter poses unique challenges for shippers. The main challenge in exporting oil during winter is that the product can solidify, requiring longer heating times when using conventional flexitanks/flexibags. In contrast, LiquA H-Flex flexitanks/flexibags allow for faster heating, making the process more efficient.
The Advantages of LiquA H-Flex flexitanks/flexibags
Improved Insulation:
Unlike conventional flexitanks/flexibags, the LiquA H-Flex flexitanks/flexibags system effectively isolates the flexitank from both the floor and the side walls of the container. This unique design ensures that steam can uniformly transmit heat to the cargo from all angles.
In traditional systems, heating typically occurs from the bottom of the tank through a heating pad. This can lead to uneven heating, where only the lower part of the cargo warms up effectively, potentially leaving the upper sections cold and solidified. Such inconsistency can cause delays and complications during the unloading process, especially in winter when products are prone to solidification.
In contrast, the LiquA H-Flex flexitanks/flexibags design promotes a more efficient heating process. By surrounding the flexitanks/flexibags with steam, it ensures that all parts of the cargo receive consistent heat, reducing the time required to warm the product to the desired temperature. This not only speeds up the heating process but also minimizes the risk of product loss or damage, making it an ideal choice for transporting temperature-sensitive liquids.
Overall, the LiquA H-Flex flexitanks/flexibags system enhances both the efficiency and safety of shipping operations, particularly in colder conditions, making it a superior alternative to conventional flexitanks/flexibags.
Environmental Benefits
As the shipping industry shifts toward sustainability, LiquA H-Flex flexitanks/flexibags stands out as an eco-friendly option, especially during the winter season when shipping challenges increase. Made from fully recyclable raw materials, it significantly reduces environmental impact and helps minimize waste in landfills.
By choosing LiquA H-Flex flexitanks/flexibags, companies can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, addressing climate change while enhancing their reputation with eco-conscious customers. Additionally, adopting greener practices positions businesses ahead of tightening regulations and fosters innovation.
In summary, LiquA H-Flex flexitanks/flexibags meet current industry needs while supporting a more sustainable future, allowing companies to improve efficiency and reduce their environmental footprint, even in the demanding winter months.
As winter draws near, shippers are increasingly recognizing the benefits of transitioning from conventional flexitanks/flexibags to LiquA H-Flex flexitanks/flexibags. This shift not only addresses the specific challenges posed by colder temperatures but also aligns with broader trends in sustainability and efficiency. By adopting this innovative solution, companies can ensure the safe and effective transport of their goods, ultimately leading to better service and increased customer satisfaction.
