Why Use Flexitanks for Liquid Fertilizer?

Flexitanks offer significant advantages over liquid fertilizer transport over drums, IBCs, or tanker trucks. Key benefits include:

• Higher Volume Per Container: Flexitanks utilize the whole container space, allowing up to 40% more liquid fertilizer per 20-ft container than a barrel. A single flexitank can hold about 16,000–24,000 liters of fertilizer​, drastically reducing the number of containers needed for a given volume of product.
  
• Cost Savings: Flexitanks significantly cut packaging and handling costs by eliminating the need for intermediate bulk containers or drums. Shippers can save 30–40% in packaging expenses versus drums. With more liters shipped in each container, per-unit freight costs also drop. Flexitanks are single-use, removing cleaning fees and return shipment costs for empty containers.
  
• Faster Loading and Unloading: Flexitanks can be quickly installed in about 20–30 minutes and filled within 30–40 minutes​. This streamlined loading/unloading process reduces labor and turnaround time. Using flexitanks can save up to 90% of the time required to load or unload liquid cargo compared to handling many small drums​.
  
• Versatility: Flexitanks easily accommodate various liquid fertilizers (urea ammonium nitrate solutions, phosphoric acid, etc.)​. They are compatible with most non-hazardous liquids, meaning the same flexitank setup can handle fertilizers, crop protectants, or even food-grade liquids like plant extracts​. This versatility gives agri-businesses the flexibility to use one bulk solution for multiple products.
  
• Reduced Product Loss: Because fertilizer is shipped in one sealed bladder, there is minimal residue or leftover product. Discharge is efficient, with as low as 0.1% product loss from a flexitank, versus ~1% loss from drums​. Less spillage and residue mean more of your fertilizer reaches the end user.
