Caterpillar
Technology
Caterpillar is the inspiration from mother nature for the design of the R-Flex.
Drums and bins are what many companies think to use when transporting liquids in reefer containers. But they aren’t always the most practical option. Drums and bins are expensive. They also require too much labor to load.
Caterpillar technology is designed to tackle such issues.
It uses a long monoblock tube/bladder that has several wave breakers to minimize the movement of the liquid at certain areas to compartmentalize the bladder, similar to a caterpillar. Should a vehicle break suddenly during transit, the design’s wave breakers create bottlenecks that help dissipate any energy created by the liquid moving around. This helps avoid the formation of hydrodynamic forces and keeps your cargo safe.
Nnautilus
Technology
We drew inspiration from the Nautilus when designing the R-Flex.
Damaged and bulged containers are a common problem in the flexitank industry. Conventional flexitanks preserve the liquid inside, but their design allows it to move around.
This movement causes the liquid to generate hydrodynamic force, which puts stress on the container side walls and doors. The bulkheads may reduce the strain on the door side but redirect it to the sidewalls, causing bulging.
NNAUTILIUS technology is an innovative approach that's designed to tackle this issue.

What is R-Flex 40ft?
R-Flex 40ft is a Monobloc (one-piece) flexitank designed for the transportation of products that require temperature controlled environments such as juices or dairy, in 40ft reefer containers.
It has a unique design and integrates our patented wave breaking technology to ensure a safe transportation. It is the only successful flexitank for the purpose. It is guaranteed not to bulge the sidewalls or damage the fragile 40ft reefer container.
What Are the Main Advantages of R-Flex 40ft?
The R-Flex allows you to avoid transportation costs associated with high-cost packaging materials such as bins and drums. With the R-Flex, loading and discharge operations are much faster and require less labor. The R-Flex is also guaranteed not to damage the reefer container or bulge the sidewalls.
What is R-Flex 20ft?
R-Flex 20ft is a flexitank designed for the transportation of products that require temperature-controlled environments, such as juices or dairy, in 20ft reefer containers. It is the only successful flexitank for the purpose. It is guaranteed not to bulge the sidewalls or damage the fragile 20ft reefer container.

R-Flex is a service offered by LiquA and its partners (CMA CGM and Teconja), to ensure that the shipment is handled the way it should be. We offer our specialized services anywhere in the world for R-Flex shipments, and will assist you with every step of the process.
How Can I Get a Quote for a Shipment With R-Flex?
You can contact us directly for a door to door rate. All you need to provide us with, to receive your personalized quote is information such as loading location, destination, type of cargo, and quantities.
We Are a Forwarder. Can We Use the R-Flex Organization for Our Clients?
We cooperate with forwarders. Please contact us to learn more.
Which Cargo Can I Transport With R-Flex 40ft?
R-Flex 40ft is designed to hold products which need to be transported in a temperature controlled environment. The flexitanks are produced with food approved raw material, so they are ideal for food products such as juices, milk and other dairy products.
What Sizes of R-Flex Are Available?
We offer capacities between 12,000 liters/3,170 gallons and 26,000 liters/6,870 gallons.
Does R-Flex Require Bulkheads?
No. We’ve spent years developing a design for a flexitank that does not require any bulkheads. Our design minimizes movement within the flexitank, making it safe to use for transporting in fragile reefer units. The lack of bulkhead makes for quick and efficient filling, discharging, and disposal processes.
Where Are the Flexitanks Manufactured?
Our production site is based in Istanbul, Turkey—and our products are produced in clean room, following current regulations. LiquA’s production facility has the ISO 9001, ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 certifications.
You are welcome to visit our production site to observe the process.
Where Is the Valve Located and What Is the Size?
The design of our flexitanks is more advanced and innovative than the rest of the products in the industry. Our valve is considered as bottom load. However as there are no bulkheads it is not static and goes up during loading. Our standard valve is 3” male camlock. An adaptor to reduce it to 2” is available upon request.
How Much Residue Will Be Left in the Flexitank?
The residue left in the flexitank depends on the cargo and how the discharge operation is carried out. In the best case scenario, the residue left over can be as low as 20 litres/5 gallons for certain products such as lemon juice.
Can R-Flex Be Reused?
R-Flex cannot be reused due to health and safety standards.
Our Cargo Needs to Be Transported in Sterilized Bags. Is It Possible?
Our flexitanks are produced in clean room environment. On top of that we also offer sterilization using gamma radiation. If you’re interested in our service, contact us to learn more.
