About this pack
What you get
A flexitank is a large, single-use, food-grade bag made of layered polyethylene that fits inside a standard 20-foot shipping container and turns it into a bulk liquid tank. One flexitank carries about the same oil as 100 drums, with no drums, totes or pallets to buy, handle or return.
Flexitanks suit importers, refiners, packers and large food manufacturers with storage tanks to discharge into. Oils that are solid or semi-solid at room temperature, such as RBD palm oil, coconut oil and palm kernel oil, are shipped with a heating pad so they can be warmed and pumped out on arrival.
