Bulk Wine Transportation Challenges and Advantages of LiquA Flexitanks:

Transporting bulk wine requires overcoming several challenges to ensure its quality remains intact. Here's how LiquA flexitanks address these challenges and offer distinct advantages:

1

Oxidation Prevention:

Wine is susceptible to oxidation, which can negatively impact its taste and aroma. LiquA flexitanks provide a hermetic seal that minimizes oxygen exposure, preserving the wine's freshness and preventing spoilage.

2

Cost-Effectiveness:

By optimizing container space, LiquA flexitanks enable the transportation of larger volumes of wine in a single shipment. E-Flex 26,000 litres is the only flexitank available on the market at this capacity. This efficiency helps reduce transportation costs and improves overall operational effectiveness.

3

Temperature Stability

Maintaining a consistent temperature might be important especially for wines. LiquA flexitanks are compatible to be used with insulation material to be installed into the containers. That option offers elevated thermal insulation, protecting your wine from temperature fluctuations during transportation. For clients who require a more sensitive temperature control, LiquA has developed reefer flexitanks for shipments in 20’ and 40’ reefer containers along with its specialized reefer freight service in cooperation with CMA CGM.

Environmental Considerations

LiquA flexitanks are eco-friendly alternatives to traditional packaging materials or alternative flexitanks. With reduced packaging waste and the ability to recycle flexitanks, our solution aligns with sustainable practices.
