High-Capacity Flexitanks for Global Shipments

Flexitank Packaging

Bernet Bitumen provides flexitank packaging as a modern, efficient, and environmentally responsible method for transporting hot liquid bitumen.
Flexitanks are single-use multilayer liners installed inside 20-foot containers, transforming them into secure bulk liquid carriers.
They are ideal for importers and contractors looking for a cost-saving alternative to drums or IBCs, combining high capacity with simplified handling.

Construction & Specifications

Each flexitank is constructed from multi-layer polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) films designed to withstand internal pressure and temperatures exceeding 120 °C.
Reinforced outer fabrics and thermal barriers protect the cargo from heat loss and mechanical impact.

Typical capacities range from 14,000 to 24,000 litres, depending on container design and project requirements.
Because of the flexible structure, flexitanks are only suitable for use inside standard 20-foot containers, which provide the necessary lateral support during transit.

Advantages of Flexitank Bitumen Transport

  • High Efficiency: Enables up to 30 % more payload per container compared with drums.
  • Reduced Packaging Waste: Single-liner use minimizes cleaning and disposal costs.
  • Faster Loading & Unloading: Pump-in / pump-out systems streamline operations.
  • Thermal Resistance: Maintains product integrity during hot-fill and cooling cycles.
  • Environmental Performance: Recyclable materials lower overall carbon footprint.

These features make flexitanks one of the most practical solutions for long-distance liquid bitumen exports to markets in Asia, Africa, and Europe.

Applications

Flexitank packaging is best suited for:

  • Hot liquid bitumen grades such as 60/70, 80/100, and VG30.
  • High-volume export orders requiring fast turnaround.
  • Clients seeking lower freight cost per ton of product.
  • Industries involved in road construction, waterproofing, and asphalt production.

The system is compatible with both gravity discharge and pumping units, allowing quick delivery directly to site storage or heating tanks.

Quality and Compliance

All Bernet Bitumen flexitanks are manufactured under ISO 9001 and COA (Container Owners Association) guidelines.
Before dispatch, each unit undergoes pressure testing and leak inspection, ensuring complete safety during loading and shipment.
