Conventional flexitanks may bulge or damage containers during shipping.
Has your company had issues with flexitanks expanding and causing shipping containers to bulge? Most of the forwarders and shippers in the industry have encountered this problem before.
Conventional flexitanks are designed to preserve the liquid in a giant pillow that acts as a flexible tank. But they only offer a protective layer that preserves the cargo. Because of this, liquid is able to move around. Once the liquid starts moving, it generates hydrodynamic forces that exert pressure on the side walls and bulkhead.
A durable bulkhead may be able to resist the pressure, but this will cause that force to transfer to the side walls, resulting in bulging. This is a major problem for all parties in the shipping process.
Many of these bulges are unrepairable or will reduce the structural integrity and lifespan of shipping containers. Shipping lines often pass these additional expenses on to their customers and end users.
BlueWhale - A Safe and Reliable Solution to Bulging Containers
We use 6 anti-swell columns to prevent the container from deforming due to excessive liquid density during the transportation of flexitanks. This method is simple and fast and only requires 6 anti-swell columns when laying the flexitanks. Stand the column on the side wall of the container, fix the upper end and plug the plastic cap on the lower end to use the flexitank safely.
