What is “container bulging” and why does it occur?
The bulging problem occurs when liquids in a conventional flexitank generate excessive hydrodynamic forces due to movements during transport. Traditional flexitanks resemble giant pillow-like containers that allow the liquid to shift freely. This movement exerts stress on the container's sidewalls and doors, causing them to bulge outward. While rigid bulkheads can mitigate strain at the doors, they may inadvertently redirect these forces to the sidewalls, resulting in structural damage. There is a patented flexitank designed not to bulge the sidewalls of the containers.
