From Vineyard to Table: Optimizing Bulk Wine and Food-Grade Logistics with Flexitanks
At FGN Global Logistics, we specialize in bridging that gap. By utilizing advanced flexitank technology, we provide a logistics solution specifically engineered to maintain the purity of your food-grade products while maximizing your bottom line.
The Gold Standard for Wine and Food-Grade Shipping
When it comes to sensitive liquids like wine, juices, edible oils, and syrups, the container is as important as the product itself. Flexitanks have become the preferred choice for global food-grade transport for several reasons:
- No Contamination: Every flexitank used by FGN is brand new and single-use. This eliminates the risk of cross-contamination inherent in reusable ISO tanks or drums, which may have previously carried industrial chemicals. For wine producers, this ensures that the delicate flavor profile and aroma of the vintage remain untainted.
- Superior Oxygen Barrier: High-quality flexitanks are constructed with specialized barrier layers. These layers are designed to prevent oxygen migration, protecting wine and oils from oxidation and ensuring a longer shelf life upon arrival.
- Dedicated Equipment: All transloading equipment utilized in the loading process is dedicated to your product and prepared in accordance with food-grade standards.
Efficiency That Scales with Your Business
Beyond safety, the economic advantages of shipping bulk food-grade liquids in flexitanks are undeniable.
- Maximize Your Payload: A standard 20-foot shipping container filled with drums or IBCs carries significant “dead space.” A flexitank, however, expands to fill the container’s footprint, allowing you to ship up to 24,000 liters in a single unit. This is roughly 40% more volume than traditional drum shipping.
- Reduced Labor and Handling: Loading a flexitank is a streamlined, “set-it-and-forget-it” process compared to the labor-intensive task of filling, sealing, and palletizing hundreds of individual drums. This reduces your overhead costs at the origin and accelerates the discharge process at the destination.
- Sustainability in the Supply Chain: Many of our flexitanks are made from 100% recyclable materials. Furthermore, by shipping more product in fewer containers, you are directly reducing the carbon footprint of your global supply chain.
