What Are the Main Advantages of E-Flex Over Other Flexitanks?

E-Flex tanks are the highest capacity flexitank on the market. The 27,000 capacity allows for about 12% savings on overall freight costs thanks to the increased payload size. You can load base oils, palm oils, stearin, olein, soybean oil, olive oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, sunflower oil, fish oil, used cooking oil and biodiesel making use of our high capacity flexitank.

A common problem with flexitanks is that they put pressure on the sidewalls of containers, causing bulging. After thousands of E-Flex shipments, there has not been a single recorded case of container bulging having been caused by the E-Flex flexitank. E-Flex supports the entire burden of the cargo by itself, so any container can be used to transport the E-Flex flexitank.

Does E-Flex Easy Flexitank Really Have No Bulkhead?

The E-Flex flexitank doesn’t require a rigid bulkhead, because it has an integrated flexible restraint and harnessing system. If you’re interested in the detailed technical specifications, please contact LiquA for more information.

E-Flex Has No Rigid Bulkhead. Is It Safe?

Not only is the E-Flex design safe to transport despite its lack of a rigid bulkhead, its integrated restraint system helps stabilize the liquid contents. Our anti-wave technology allows the E-Flex to control the movement of liquid and avoid accumulation of energy through the harnessing system: in other words, the tank is able to absorb forces that are applied to it during the shipping process and protect its contents.

E-Flex has been successfully tested in Pueblo, CO, USA according to international norm of PAS 1008-2016 and certified by Container Owners Association.

Do Container Walls Bulge When the E-Flex Is in Use? What Container Selection Criteria Do You Use?

One of the main selling points of the E-Flex flexitank is that it does not exert any pressure to the side walls of its container. Almost any 20’ container is compatible with E-Flex: we don’t require any specifications aside from making sure that the container does not have sharp edges facing the flexitank.

Is the Fitting/Application of E-Flex Different Than Other Flexitanks on the Market?
