Molasses—a thick, viscous byproduct of sugar refining—is widely used across industries including food and beverage, animal feed, fermentation, and biofuel. Its high density, tendency to crystallize at lower temperatures, and resistance to free flow make molasses one of the more challenging liquids to transport in bulk.
Traditional packaging methods, such as drums or IBCs, often fall short due to their limited volume, higher handling requirements, and inefficiency in dealing with such a sticky, temperature-sensitive material.
This is where Blue Whale Flexitank technology offers a smarter, cleaner, and more cost-effective solution.
Why Flexitanks Are Ideal for Molasses Transport
● Maximized Load Efficiency: A single 20-foot container fitted with a Flexitank can transport up to 24,000 liters—significantly more than drums or IBCs, which typically hold only 16,000 liters per container. This reduces the number of shipments required, leading to lower freight and handling costs.
● Seamless Loading and Unloading: Molasses' high viscosity makes manual handling difficult and time-consuming. Blue Whale Flexitanks enable pump-based loading and discharge, eliminating the need for drum handling, minimizing residue loss, and ensuring a cleaner process.
● Leak-Proof and Contamination-Free: Made from multi-layer, food-grade barrier films, Blue Whale Flexitanks are specifically designed to prevent leakage, evaporation, and external contamination. This ensures that the molasses retains its quality throughout transit, even during long-haul international shipping.
● Reduced Labor and Environmental Impact: Flexitanks simplify logistics by eliminating the need for return transport and drum cleaning. The materials used are recyclable, reducing environmental impact and aligning with sustainable transport goals.
Tackling Molasses Crystallization with Integrated Heating Pads
One common issue with molasses transport is its tendency to solidify in cooler temperatures, especially during winter or in temperate climates. To solve this, Blue Whale offers flexitank-compatible electric heating pads that can be placed beneath the flexibag. These pads gently reheat the product before unloading, restoring fluidity and ensuring smooth discharge.
A Reliable Partner for Molasses Logistics
With increasing global demand for molasses in various industries, finding a reliable, efficient, and clean transport method is essential. Blue Whale Flexitanks provide the capacity, safety, and convenience needed to ship molasses in bulk—while our heating solutions eliminate temperature-related challenges.
Tarpaulin is a large waterproof polymer, available in different sizes, made of plastic, such as HDPE (high density polyethylene), LDPE (low density ethylene) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride). All three are thermoplastics, which can withstand heat and sunlight for longer periods of time. Tarpaulin is a ki
Flexitanks are a new way to transport bulk liquids. Before transportation, we must first determine the safety of the liquid and consider whether the liquid is compatible with the flexitank and does not pose any risk factors.
