Fluid-Bag FLEXI - a flexible and disposable IBC bag container
Fluid-Bag FLEXI (1000 or 900 l) is our one-way option intermediate bulk container, and includes a single-trip inner container, transport bag and wooden pallet.
The disposable inner container of the Fluid-Bag FLEXI is always clean, and there is no need for maintenance or washing. The bag is strong and durable to withstand handling and transport.
The outer transport bag and pallet can easily be disposed of, and expensive return freights of empty IBCs, totes or drums can be avoided altogether.
Advantages with Fluid-Bag FLEXI
There are many advantages with our flexible and disposable IBC solution. Here are some of them that might interest you:
1. Low residue
Residue in a flexible 1000-liter container from Fluid-Bag can be as low as 0.5-1.0%. This is a result of stretching the bag and, when necessary, rolling of the inner container with the best discharge equipment.
This effectiveness means that you avoid unnecessary waste in your manufacturing process and can make the most of every drop of product.
2. Reduced carbon footprint
By choosing the right suppliers you can reduce your emissions within Scoop 3. Fluid-Bag's products have a low carbon footprint and can therefore help you reduce your overall climate impact.
Fluid-Bag FLEXI is the product of ours that has the lowest carbon footprint – and if you would like to know the values, please contact us and we are happy to share the third-party study.
3. Eliminate contamination
Fluid-Bag is a closed container system. Since the bag is flexible, there is no need to let air into the container, so you avoid the risk of particle, bacterial or moisture contamination.
The protective barriers in the inner container ensure the quality of your product. Get inspired by Petro-Canada and their use of Fluid-Bag flexible bulk containers for this reason.
