Our Iso-Containers are equipped with pumps to make the delivery of your orders right into your storage system in a fast and secure manner. This system enables that our own personal can unload the Iso-container only with the supervision of one person from your operative personnel who signs and acknowledges the receipt of your order.
Flexible Containers
Recomended for Exports Customers with High Volume
For our international customers with high volumen in bulk quantities we recommend to use Flexible Tanks, also known as Flexitank Containers. Flexitanks is a very secure and convenient method of transport that consists in a big bag inside a regular 20’ sea container. The Flexitank is loaded and unloaded through a valve using a hose and can hold between 22,000 and 25,000 liters. The bag is not re-usable for food stuff and it is made by four exterior layers of polyethylene to provide resistance and one inner layer of food grade polypropylene approved by the FDA. The bag can be recycled.
FlexiTank provides many advantages being the most notorious the reduction in transportation cost and logistics because it does not require the return of an empty container from abroad as it is required with the Iso-containers.
ADVANTAGES – Low Cost – Food Grade –Transports 40% more Syrups by container than compare with using 55 Gallons tanks– Fast and Automatic discharge in 60 minutes or less
Every Flexitank follows an assemble procedure to guarantee that your order gets delivered as flawless as posible:
- Inspection and Container Cleaning
- Protection of container inner surfaces with corrugated paper
- Placement of flexitank bag inside container
- Valve assembly installation and product filling
- Protection Bars assembly installation

Note: For shipments to colder regions in their Winter season it is recommended using temperature controlled containers to prevent temperature to drop below 15C
Intermediate Bulk Containers

IBC has a similar concept to the Flexitanks, but they are made of a high density corrugated box with a standard pallet dimensions (48” x 40”), which contains on its inside a bag with two layers of food grade polyethylene.
The storage capacity of each IBC is if 1000 Liters.
