Flexitanks, especially container flexitanks, have significant advantages in the field of liquid transportation, but they also have some disadvantages. The following is a detailed analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of flexitanks:
1. Low cost: Low procurement cost: Compared with traditional liquid packaging containers, container flexitanks can save customers 50% to 80% of packaging procurement costs. Low logistics costs: Using flexitank, a 20-foot container can load 25 cubic meters of goods, which improves container utilization by 56% compared to traditional packaging containers, reduces the number of containers required, and reduces logistics costs. Disposable use: No need for additional storage and cleaning of flexitanks, and no need to pay additional fees such as overdue fees, saving money.
2. Easy to operate: The operation of the liquid bag is very simple. The loading and unloading process only requires a few people and some pipes, which greatly improves the operating efficiency. It usually takes only 20 minutes to load and unload a 20-foot container liquid bag, which greatly saves labor and time costs.
3. Wide applicability: Liquid bags can meet the requirements of various modes of transportation such as railways, sea transportation, and roads. It can be loaded with a variety of liquid goods such as wine, edible oil, various concentrated fruit juices, food additives, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, etc.
4. Environmental protection: The container liquid bag is made of degradable material, which is recyclable and pollution-free.
1. Leakage risk: As a flexible packaging material, leakage of liquid bags is the biggest obstacle in its use. Leakage may be caused by design defects, production quality defects or improper use of liquid bags (such as scratches by foreign objects, violent collisions, etc.). Leakage will not only cause loss of goods, but also harm the environment and personnel.
2. Capacity limitation: The capacity of container liquid bags is limited, and generally can only load 20~30 tons of liquid goods, which cannot meet the transportation needs of large liquid goods.
3. Transportation limitation: Liquid bags can only be used to transport liquid goods, not solid goods or gaseous goods. Due to the special nature of liquid bags, special packaging and transportation are required, which adds additional costs.
